Aspire To Glory
Both wins over 7f on Polytrack last winter but he hasn't been in the same form of late, despite having everything but the kitchen sink on his head (now goes with no aids); work to do back in a classified.

Barney's Bay
Had C&D form before layoff but thoroughly becalmed since and the drop to this level made no difference at Newcastle (7f) on Friday; has won in blinkers, and a visor is now refitted after four runs with no headgear.

Dandy Lichious
Won 7f AW claimer on final Irish start last March but he hasn't yet achieved much in Britain and was well held behind Monsieur Fantaisie over C&D 11 days ago.

Dark Side Premier
Had four runs; never in the hunt on handicap debut here (1m) before Christmas when back from a layoff; that run could have brought him on and 7f could suit him better but there are a few ifs and buts.

Headshot
All three wins at 1m, including on this track in cheekpieces last March; his classified defeats since are mounting up but this is his first run here since the win, so not ignored with cheekpieces back on.

Kodebreaker
Two course wins at 7f and 1m in early 2023; mostly in the doldrums since winning twice on turf last July but at least he's eligible for this level again so could turn things round.

Lil Wade
Maiden; placed three times at sprint trips on AW but she hasn't looked to be yearning for this first attempt at 7f so has it to prove.

- Monsieur Fantaisie
- Joanna Mason / P D Niven

5/4 |
Monsieur Fantaisie
Seen mostly over sprint trips now but his last three 7f runs have resulted in a C&D win last March and two close calls, at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and back here against an unexposed one since; solid.

Mr Slicker
Eight Polytrack wins in France, most recently in 2023; looked on the verge of a revival for new yard when a close fourth over 1m here before Christmas; not so effective at Wolverhampton since but may well do better down in grade back on this course.

One Moonbeam
Has shown little in a handful of starts, including when well held on handicap debut in 2023 and in a 6f classified here this month on return from absence; lots more needed for new trip.

Scarfo
Form tailed off after winning 7f Wolverhampton handicap last July and he left the Quinns after a heavy defeat at Chelmsford last month; risky now.

Tres Chic
Three turf wins (1m and 7f) and her recent close third over 1m here was up there with her best form; never showed back over 7f at Wolverhampton 20 days ago but the return to this track could help; has a squeak.
