7/4
C&D scorer last summer and ended 2022 with a win at Newcastle in October. Down the field in 2 comeback runs this spring but this is easier than the Musselburgh Class 2 he contested last time and he's only 1 lb above his last successful mark.

7/2
Successful twice over 5f at Newcastle since switching to handicaps. Remains unexposed and major player is as effective on turf.

15/2
Eighteen runs since last win in 2021, including well held on AW at Newcastle (7f/1m) for new yard on final 2 outings last year. Remains to be seen if this drop back to 6f (for first time since 2019) helps.

Water Of Leith (7/4), Our Absent Friends (7/2), Foreseeable Future (4/1), Thaki (9/2), Tangled (15/2)

Verdict

It's unlikely OUR ABSENT FRIENDS will have reached his limit after only 3 handicap starts and he could take a bit of stopping if proving as effective on turf. Water of Leith should find this a lot easier than the big-field Musselburgh Class 2 he ran in last time and has a good record here so he's feared most.
