5/1

Given a very canny ride from the front to win at Kempton (2m) two weeks ago, quickening off the front after setting a steady tempo. Handed an 8lb rise for that and back in trip which makes life much tougher.

8/1

Has been running consistently well this winter mostly over 1m4f. Shaped at Lingfield last time that it was worth a crack at this trip and should go well.

West Coast Flyer¹⁴

7/2

Beat Stamford Raffles here over C&D back in January. Not so good the last twice when never able to get involved from off the pace. Only 2lb higher than for that success but does need everything to drop right.

22/1

Consistent sort who ran a cracker in the November handicap at Doncaster before being held at Kempton in November. Returns from a three-month break here but takes a drop in class and riders claim puts him right in the picture.

5/1

All out to hold on at Kempton (1m3f) off a 4lb lower mark two starts back. Easily brushed aside at Lingfield next time and now takes a step up in trip with Leading rider back on board.

15/8

Ran well when just denied by Flaming Marvel (has won again since) at Wolverhampton two starts back. kept on well when not getting the best of runs at Southwell last time and will be bang in the mix once again if building on that here.

10/1

Has shown improved form since switching to this yard and having won well in a maiden at Southwell, he rallied gamely to win there again last time back in a handicap. Goes up in trip here and 4lb higher but running well.

Stamford Raffles will give it a good go to defy an 8lb rise for his clever win from the front last time. West Coast Flyer needs everything to fall right so will be relying on a Jamie Spencer masterclass from off the pace. AMITIE WALTZ is progressing nicely and could be up to winning again with Finley Marsh claiming a handy 3lbs here.
