17/2

Went close twice in small-field handicaps last summer for Donald McCain. Quiet start for new yard on the all-weather this year but has dropped to a tempting mark (won off 129 over hurdles at his peak).

Form: 2765-56

12/1

Completed a hat-trick on the all-weather earlier this year. Fair run last time and has plenty of good efforts on this course to his name. Wouldn't rule out back up in trip.

Won 2 turf handicaps at up to 2m last summer. Should have come on for her first run back behind Balgowan here 3 weeks ago and back on last successful mark.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 56| D

9/4

Back to winning ways in 2m handicap on the polytrack here 3 weeks ago. Pretty consistent for the level so should remain competitive back on turf after a 2 lb nudge.

Form: 3374-31

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 52

On a long losing run although has run a number of good races on this course. Record suggests she might need this after 7 months off.

11/2

Sole win came on this course 2 years ago. Ran well with cheekpieces reapplied when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Balgowan on the polytrack here 3 weeks ago and a player if building on that back on turf.

Form: 23-4253

ROGUE EMPIRE should strip fitter for his comeback at Kempton and is taken to open his account. The consistent Balgowan and Smokey Malone are a couple of others to consider.
