Related to winners over 2m4f so a bit to prove over this trip on breeding and handicap debut. Best watched.
Bred for the Flat and has run accordingly over hurdles so far. Not much from recent starts to suggest he can get off the mark over hurdles at the ninth tie of asking
Tried unsuccessfully over fences a couple of times lately and makes limited appeal now she reverts to hurdles over a trip that appears to stretch her to the limit.
Unexposed over the trip and would appreciate any rain that arrives. Needs to find improvement but has time on his side and may find his niche before too long.
Won over 3m in a point-to-point, so the trip shouldn't be an issue for her. But her form over timber leaves a lot to be desired and she needs to improve almost out of recognition for the extra distance this evening.
Stays well and is in the minority in that he know what it takes to win a race. Some juice in the ground would be beneficial but he arrives here in good heart and has to be respected as a leading contender. Rain will bolster the case.
Sound claims on the evidence of his last three starts (finished as runner up on each occasion). Raised 1lb for his latest effort, his tasks are getting stiffer at the weights but he holds solid place claims at this level and would be dangerous to rule out.
Outpaced latest but still ran on well to hold on for a place. This step up in trip should suit and this unexposed mare is well worth a check in the betting now she tackles a more suitable test of stamina.
Lightly raced in recent times but efforts this season do suggest that time is catching up withy him. Others make more appeal.
No wins from six previous efforts and has yet to even trouble the judge for one of the places. The predicted good ground may help but he has a lot to prove just now.
Comes here on the back of her best effort to date but that is still uninspiring and it's hard to envisage she will be good enough to shake-off the maiden tag at the ninth time of asking.
Easily his best effort to date last time out but stayed on past beaten horses and may have been flattered by his finishing position. Needs to prove his stamina will truly hold out and others make more appeal.
Has been pulled up a remarkable 26 time during his career in point-to-points and under rules. Ran well on his penultimate start but reverted to type latest. Not difficult to overlook.
Still a maiden and two starts this season have done little to suggest that is imminently going to change. Also something to prove as this will mark a big step up in trip for her.

Milestone Prince (4/1), Tranquil Magic (9/2), Cantkidakidder (11/2), Uptake (6/1), Let's Twist Again (7/1), Larkfield Lass (12/1), Select Opportunity (14/1), Something Sweet (14/1), The Bay Birch (14/1), Fleetwood Jack (14/1), Kilganer Queen (16/1), Louie The Second (18/1), Moonunderwater (20/1), Shantelle (22/1), Shine In Dubai (33/1), The Bach Road (33/1), Brandy And Pep (40/1)
UPTAKE has improved of late and gets the nod as one for a speculative punt in an open handicap. Milestone Prince and Cantkidakidder head the very short list of appealing alternatives. That said, Something Sweet holds claims at this level and is worth a check in the betting.
