7/2

Useful veteran stayer who on the back of a good second over hurdles, shaped better than bare result when sixth in Chester Plate (18.6f) in May. Eased further 2 lb and he's now well weighted. Visored.

10/3

Gained rare victory away from Ayr on the AW at Newcastle (12.5f) in November. Has shaped as if in good form in defeat all 3 starts so far this year and he's one to bear in mind.

Form: 701-637

13/2

Fairly useful handicapper who ran well when runner-up on yard debut at Chester (12.3f) early last month. Too free to see out longer trip back there last time and this may prove more suitable.

Form: 1752-27

3/1

Hamilton listed winner (11f) back in 2019 who was below par in 3 starts last season. Switched yards and similar story despite sliding mark this spring and others make more appeal.

5/1

Rattled off a hat-trick in 2019 for Richard Fahey, culminating in success in this race from 7 lb higher. Lightly raced since but did offer more for present yard at Ayr last month.

BYRON FLYER didn't fare too badly when mid-field in the Chester Plate last month and, eased 2 lb in re-fitted headgear, he could be the way to go. Civil Law is on a roll and put up a career best here on Friday, but if he doesn't take his chance, Nicholas T is offered as the main danger.
