25/1

Good fourth off this mark in a 1m4f handicap at Ffos Las (good-to-soft) in August 2018. Successful over fences subsequently but this trip looks on the short side on his return from over 15 months off the track.

7/1

Shaped as if a step up in trip might suit when finishing 6¼L thrid in a handicap over 1m here last month. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and is worth a check in the market in this event.

11/1

Beaten 1L when finishing third over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton a month ago. Decent effort when beaten 6½L over the same C&D subsequently and market support would be notable in this event.

Deadly Accurate (3/1), Arlecchino's Arc (4/1), Billie Beane (11/2), Music Major (6/1), Duchess Of Avon (7/1), Gerry The Glover (7/1), Usanecolt (11/1), Presence Process (12/1), Enmeshing (14/1), Fivehundredmiles (14/1), Narjes (20/1), Hard Toffee (25/1), Dinsdale (25/1), Sweet Jemima (50/1)

MUSIC MAJOR showed good form when placed last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. The selection has a top jockey in the saddle and he can get the better of Enmeshing who is dropping back in distance and has won here in the past while third place can go to Duchess Of Avon who is stepping up in distance.
