Looking Splendid (11/4), Lady's Present (7/2), Lathan (6/1), On The Go (8/1), Leader Wing (10/1), Devon Skies (10/1), Gone With The Tide (10/1), Silverbridge (12/1), Dartie Bay (14/1), Rock N Roll Champ (16/1), Luminaries (20/1), Just Winging It (40/1), Goodoldbill (40/1)

LADY'S PRESENT is fairly lightly raced for her age and has proven that she can be competitive from a lowly handicap mark. She won't need to improve to win this modest event and makes appeal with Brian Hughes taking over in the saddle for the first time. Looking Splendid is a standout danger having posted a couple of solid efforts at Musselburgh this winter, while Silverbridge is well-treated if first-time blinkers can awaken him from his recent slumber.
