Well backed to score on his second attempt here earlier in the month (5f) and scored with a bit in hand, looking like this step up to 6f will suit. Improving and plenty more to come, so has to be high on the list for this.
Had shown form for Aidan O'Brien in Ireland but switch to a new yard last time did the trick, getting up late to win at Wolverhampton. May progress again, and chance if this track suits as well as that one does.
Bred for a bit of speed but hasn't shown enough in two starts to think he's up to troubling the judge here. Gets a handicap mark after this.
Nice introduction when a staying-on third over C&D here earlier in the month, not knocked about and will surely do better. Chances of places at worst if taking a step forward from that.
Well backed to make a winning introduction here in December but just ran a little to keen for his own good. Still a solid effort and if this drop back in trip doesn't inconvenience him, may get involved if progressing.
Related to plenty of speedy sorts and makes plenty of appeal on paper, yard's do tend to need a run or two though and wide draw here only makes life harder. Best watched unless very strong in the market.
Has shown good sped on last couple of runs (over 7f) but ultimately well beaten, so this drop back in trip probably a positive. However, lacks the scope to progress that a few of these have so may need to find a bit more.
Ran green on debut at Sandown but penny was dropping late, and it wasn't without promise. Gelded since, given a bit of time, and if there's any market support, it needs noting strongly.
Plenty of encouragement to be taken from debut here in November but a backwards step when beaten at odds-on latest and connections already going for the headgear. Needs to get back on track and others preferred.
Has only beaten a couple of horses home in two starts and hard to see where the necessary improvement is coming from.
Cost E82,000 at sales last year, bred to do well over this sort of trip (may want a little further in time) and yard have a 24% strike rate with 3-y-o's here, so if forward enough on debut, has chances of getting off the mark.
Showed a glimmer of ability on debut at Kempton in November but not enough to think she's going to get amongst the main protagonists here.
Forecasts
Galloway Hills (9/4), General Jack (5/2), Mighty Mac (11/2), Mount Wellington (6/1), Mosseyb (10/1), Folie Douze (14/1), Jeopardy John (16/1), Regina Pacis (16/1), Great Midge (20/1), Sweet And Dandy (50/1), Arnoul Of Metz (50/1), Maytheorsebewithu (66/1)
GALLOWAY HILLS has a penalty to carry after his win here last time out but he won that with a bit of authority and might be capable of following up. This extra furlong looks to be in his favour and he can continue his progression. Money for Mighty Mac would be worth noting as he showed a bit of promise on his only start and will leave that form well behind in due course. General Jack is another that should do better.
