Winner of a couple of minor races for Richard Hannon before stable switch. Looked high enough in the weights on both starts for this yard and there are doubts he can see this trip out on easy ground.
Yard are 4-95 for the season but he managed to make the most of similar conditions when getting up to score at Thirsk. Aided by a good draw that day and soundly beaten off this mark next time.
Improved efforts on last couple of starts. Has not quite managed to see out the final furlong so drop to 6f looks a wise move. Others still look potentially better handicapped.
Her second to Gilgamesh last year puts her on an attractive mark. Failed to stay the mile on her return but earns a further 2lb drop. Has a plum draw and on pedigree should handle the conditions.
Represents the yard who took both divisions of this last year. Makes handicap debut and mark looks a shade high. Open to improvement and ought to handle the ground.
Winner over this trip on fast ground at Leicester in 2016. Out of form for much of this season but shaped a lot better in first time cheekpieces over 5f on easy ground earlier this month. Aids are removed this time.
Looks interesting on her juvenile form but was soon beaten on her handicap debut a month ago. Stable are 0-18 over the past two weeks and 4-103 in the last 56 days.
Well beaten on his handicap debut but drops to what may be a more suitable trip. Has claims on his AW juvenile form and may be of more interest when switched back to that surface.
Shaped better when attempting to make all in first time cheekpieces at Ripon three weeks ago. Needs to overcome what looks a poor draw.
Has failed to beat a rival home on his last three starts and well beaten on all attempts on easy ground.
Lightly raced gelding who has signalled some ability. Will appreciate the step back up to 6f but pedigree suggests the forecast easy ground may be an issue.
Aids helped him at Thirsk and that form has worked out so a 4lb rise looks fine under the circumstances. Stable in form and must have every chance of going one better. Drawn well but dam was better on fast ground and sire's progeny also prefer quicker conditions.
Modest form so far and cheekpieces go on. Drops in distance with pedigree indicating this trip will be on the short side,
Best form has been shown on AW surfaces and latest turf efforts have been very poor. Continues to drop in the weights but needs to prove himself more.
Could prove himself better than we have seen and has a good draw. Rider partnered her first winner last week. Drops in trip and worth checking in the market as his mark continues to fall.
Claims on the best of his juvenile form which includes a Redcar fourth on soft ground. Had blinkers fitted for the first time when last off eleven last time. Even allowing for the ground that was a dismal effort and he has plenty to prove.
Yet to go off shorter than 100/1 and well beaten on all starts to date. More of the same seems likely here.

Frank's Legacy (5/1), Majestic Stone (13/2), Bobby Vee (15/2), Eponina (8/1), Uncle Charlie (8/1), Metisian (17/2), One Too Many (10/1), Twilight Spirit (10/1), Endeavour (12/1), Vintage Dream (14/1), Darvie (16/1), Innstigator (16/1), Flying Onsite (16/1), Nellie's Dancer (20/1), Myllachy (25/1), Backinanger (25/1), Mulwith (50/1), Henrietta's Dream (80/1)
A tricky finale in which we side with ONE TOO MANY. Her second to Gilgamesh last season sets her on an attractive mark in this. A prominent racing style and an excellent draw add to her attraction and the stable have begun to find some form. Bobby Vee should step up on her latest effort for the extra furlong and is feared along with Metisian for last year's winning stable. His initial handicap mark demands some improvement but with few miles on the clock that has to be considered a possibility. Frank's Legacy has a tricky draw to overcome in his bid to follow up his recent success but he is another with scope to progress.
- One Too Many
- Bobby Vee
- Metisian
