- Apiarist
- T Eaves / K A Ryan
|
|
104
|
4/1 |
Apiarist
Only 1-12 on turf but has done well since switched to the AW, winning narrowly over this trip at Newcastle and running creditably off his revised mark when second of seven there ten days ago; drawn near the inside and should give another good account of himself.

- Silent Move
- Billy Garritty / R A Fahey

28/1 |
Silent Move
Best efforts when racing up with the pace; made all at Musselburgh (1m) in November but ran poorly behind Apiarist on AW debut at Newcastle the following month; has something to prove after that.

- Tempus
- Laura Coughlan / A Watson

|
28/1 |
Tempus
Winless since a Group 3 success in France in August 2022; ran well in defeat on occasions last year but he faces some in-form rivals with fewer miles on the clock.
|
|
|
|
- Alzahir
- T E Whelan / J Candlish
|
|
103
|
16/1 |
Alzahir
Has held his form well since running away with a Leicester seller in October, not beaten far when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day; not discounted, although a wide draw could be an inconvenience.
|
|
|
|
- Altmore
- Cieren Fallon / W J Haggas
|
|
105
|
17/2 |
Altmore
Low-mileage 4yo who won twice over 6f last autumn; showed he stays this far when runner-up at Kempton in December and he was a respectable sixth at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day; 2lb higher today but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
|
|
|
|
- Hat Toss
- A J Farragher / James Owen
|
|
102
|
11/1 |
Hat Toss
Has claims on a narrow C&D win in November and a close second at Lingfield in December, but he finished behind several of these when only eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton (100-30 favourite) on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back.
|
|
|
|
- Eagle Day
- R Kingscote / P D Evans
|
|
102
|
6/1 |
Eagle Day
Made it four wins at Wolverhampton when scoring readily just before Christmas; is a C&D winner here as well and has landed the inside draw in his bid for a hat-trick, so he commands respect despite a career-high mark.
|
|
|
|
- Waiting All Night
- George Wood / R Spencer
|
|
103
|
14/1 |
Waiting All Night
Hard to fault in terms of consistency and he again made the frame when third at Wolverhampton (7f) on Boxing Day; should be thereabouts again, although the handicapper knows all about him.
|
|
|
|
- Riot
- Jason Watson / D O'meara
|
|
103
|
16/1 |
Riot
Tends to come from well off the pace and never landed a blow when sixth of 11 at Lingfield three weeks ago; that was over 7f, the distance of all seven of his wins; others appeal more.
|
|
|
|
- Billy Mill
- Lewis Edmunds / B R Millman
|
|
104
|
33/1 |
Billy Mill
Might have needed his reappearance run eight days ago when a big price and fading from 2f out; placed four times from five outings at Chelmsford and he's only 2lb higher than his last winning mark, so he's no forlorn hope despite some unpromising form-figures.
|
|
|
|
- Urban Sprawl
- Callum Shepherd / C Johnston
|
|
102
|
13/2 |
Urban Sprawl
0-10 on AW but placed seven times; had to race wide early on when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton last time; that run can be upgraded and he should give a good account of himself from a low draw here.
|
|
|
|
- Revolutionise
- S M Levey / S C Williams
|
|
101
|
28/1 |
Revolutionise
Finished ahead of Waiting All Night, Alzahir, Altmore and Hat Toss when second over 7f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day, but he was then only fifth at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; 1m probably stretches his stamina; something to prove in a new combination of headgear.

- Hayley Turner / R A Fahey

22/1 |
Serenity Dream
Lightly raced gelding, a Kempton novice winner (7f) for the Crisfords as a 2yo; put two below-par efforts behind him when third of eight at Newcastle (1m) just before Christmas; each-way possibilities again.
|

|
|
- Mr Baloo
- Joe Leavy / R Hannon
|
|
105
|
9/1 |
Mr Baloo
Blew the start when one of four co-favourites at Lingfield three weeks ago but his two runs before that (7f at Kempton) were perfectly creditable; returning to 1m today looks a positive move and he's now 5lb lower than his last winning mark; interesting contender in first-time headgear.

- Quiet Resolve
- Dylan Hogan / R A Fahey

|
8/1 |
Quiet Resolve
Had been knocking at the door prior to winning at Newcastle (1m; 6-4 favourite) last month in emphatic style, and a 4lb higher mark does not look insurmountable; one for the shortlist.

- Repertoire
- Connor Planas / D M Simcock

|
33/1 |
Repertoire
Represents a bang-in-form stable and comes here after a creditable third of ten at Southwell (1m) two weeks ago; however, this veteran may be vulnerable to younger legs in a more competitive race.
