2/1
Comfortable 2¼L winner over C&D last month (runner-up Hanakotoba and sixth-placed Klopp have won since); strong contender despite the 7lb rise in the weights; stablemate of Joey Boy.

4/1
Broke her duck at the eighth attempt when making all to win unchallenged over C&D last month (beat Willow Brook by 1L); her overall form probably isn't the strongest, although she couldn't be totally dismissed with just a 3lb rise in the weights.

4/1
Beat the recent Southwell scorer Geography Teacher when winning off a 4lb lower mark over C&D in October; returned to action when finishing last of five to Sister Of The Sign (beaten in excess of 2L) 18-days ago.

80/1
Ten-race maiden who was never on terms (80/1) when finishing sixth of eight to Klopp over C&D last month and through related form that leaves her with bundles to find with Giacomo Casanova.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR:  58
10/1
Cost €30,000 as a juvenile; remains unexposed (0-5) but has been held back with a series of slow starts in his races; possible that the newly-applied blinkers will aid on that score; drops back in trip; stablemate of the favourite.

Secret Picnic117
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR:  53| BF
11/4
Started favourite (3/1) on his AW debut over 7f here in October but could only finish sixth of ten to Burning Lake; off since (gelded) and it remains to be seen how he adapts to this much shorter trip.

Forecasts

Giacomo Casanova (2/1), Secret Picnic (11/4), Sister of The Sign (4/1), One One Seven (4/1), Joey Boy (10/1), Kyroc (80/1)

Verdict

The newly-applied blinkers could well serve to sharpen up Joey Boy but a strong preference is for his C&D winning stablemate GIACOMO CASANOVA. The top-weight was a comfortable 2¼L winner on his most recent start and that form has been franked since by both the runner-up Hanakotoba and the sixth-placed Klopp.
  1. Giacomo Casanova
  2. Joey Boy
  3. Sister of The Sign
