Aweedram¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: K Frost| OR: 79

14/1

Hasn't tasted success for some time and, despite his sliding mark, he's yet to truly threaten in handful of starts for present stable. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 2879-54

Cozone⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: J Ferguson| OR: 78| BF| D

3/1

Won good Sandown handicap last summer and has run well in trio of starts for new yard, no extra late on when third at Doncaster in March. Sound claims back down in trip.

Form: 053-223

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 77| D

13/2

Dual winner of small-field handicaps at 10f during 2019. Some solid efforts in defeat last term, albeit disappointing final start, and remains with some unfinished business from this mark on return.

Form: 1/87333-

Kaser¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 75| CD

12/1

Multiple AW winner who scored from 2 lb higher mark over C&D in July. Failed to make an impact so far this year, unable to get competitive from off the pace at Chester recently.

Form: 909-576

Mutaabeq¹⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: J Candlish| OR: 73| D

28/1

Successful on 2 of 3 starts for Dermot Weld back in 2018. Winless since though, proving to be a disappointment on last 2 starts on AW late last year. Others more persuasive on return.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 73| C

16/1

Soft-ground winner here (1m) in a visor for John Quinn last autumn. Nearer last than first both starts for present yard 4 months apart and tongue tie now goes on up in trip.

Molinari³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 71| D

9/1

Gained breakthrough success at Windsor last July and plenty of good efforts in defeat since, only weakening out of things late on over 12f at Catterick last month. Each-way claims.

Form: 2583-24

Where's Jeff⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66| D

5/1

Winless last term but mark has eased and he duly capitalised at Hamilton (9f) last week, doing well to sustain his effort having been taken on for the lead. Definite player under a penalty.

Form: 065-431

Firewater^p²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68| D

10/1

Pretty consistent sort who ended drought at Ayr in October. Matched that when third at Doncaster (10.2f) final start and whilst he's gone well fresh previously, his mark looks right.

Form: 227713-

Rainbow Jet²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: J Mackie| OR: 67

5/1

Dream Ahead filly who went close to shedding maiden tag in a C&D event in September. Good fourth on AW next start but ended the campaign below form at Leicester. Others preferred on return.

Forecasts

Cozone (3/1), Rainbow Jet (5/1), Where's Jeff (5/1), Knowing (13/2), Noble Masquerade (7/1), Molinari (9/1), Firewater (10/1), Desert Emperor (10/1), Kaser (12/1), Aweedram (14/1), Plymouth Rock (16/1), Mutaabeq (28/1)

An interesting opener with the vote in favour of last week's Hamilton scorer WHERE'S JEFF. He did well to sustain his effort having been up with the pace throughout and with the longer trip holding no fears, he's fancied to go well again under a penalty. The return to this trip rates a likely plus for Cozone who is a big threat. Knowing and Noble Masquerade complete the shortlist.
