Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 69| CD

9/1

Registered pair of 5f victories last summer, latterly over C&D in August. Far from disgraced when seventh of 20 in Ayr Bronze Cup (6f) on final start and return to the minimum trip rates a plus on return to action.

Form: 212007-

Dicko The Legend¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 67

10/1

Doubled career tally at Chelmsford in December. Changed hands for 6,000 gns and possibly needed yard debut/first start for 4 months when sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 12 days ago. However, still needs to translate his best all-weather form to turf.

Form: 621-246

Sound Reason^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| D

7/2

9/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 6 days ago, ridden 2f out and keeping on final 1f. Not one to write off from this sort of mark with his yard in good form.

Form: 30-4764

Newyorkstateofmind¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 66| CD

11/1

Won this race from a 2 lb higher mark last year and, after 5 months off, added to the tally at Wolverhampton (6f) in April. Efforts not so good since though, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago.

Form: 47-1805

Wee Fat Mac^t¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| D

9/1

Scored twice towards end of last year on AW and continued in good heart since, far from disgraced when third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) in March. Absent subsequently but he's no forlorn hope if ready to roll after 103 days off.

Form: 114-323

Henery Hawk²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 65| D

18/1

Back-to-back winner of 5f handicaps at Newcastle earlier this year but not operating at quite the same level on turf in recent weeks, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago.

Form: 184555

Aces Wild²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Wintle| OR: 65| BF| D

5/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Good second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 4/1) 20 days ago, conceding first run. Clearly in good heart and claims if proving himself as effective on turf.

Form: 211032

Ski Angel¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| CD

9/4

C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 11 days ago, leading final 50 yds. Manner of that victory suggests she may yet have more to offer and respected here.

Form: 147-181

(9)

Cuban Rock¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46

20/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 7/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 11 days ago, hanging left over 2f out and dropping away. Significantly back down in trip here and others more persuasive.

Form: 6599-58

Ski Angel (9/4), Sound Reason (7/2), Aces Wild (5/1), Refuge (7/1), Wee Fat Mac (9/1), Borough (9/1), Dicko The Legend (10/1), Newyorkstateofmind (11/1), Ramon Di Loria (12/1), Henery Hawk (18/1), Cuban Rock (20/1)

Successful over C&D last term, SKI ANGEL quickly resumed winning ways in the style of one who may not have reached her limit just yet at Musselburgh 11 days ago and she could be worth siding with to go in again from a 5 lb higher mark. 4-time C&D winner Refuge highlighted he's coming to hand with a creditable fourth at Ripon recently and he's feared. Last year's winner Newyorkstateofmind and Sound Reason complete the shortlist.
