Urban Sprawl
Still to win after 14 starts on the AW but has had plenty of near-misses, including round here; pulled hard when turning in a rare poor effort last time and needs to bounce back from that.

Kingdom Of Time
Remains a maiden but has chased home an improver and a subsequent winner in two starts since handicapping; latest effort can be marked up a touch too, so he's shortlisted off a mark just 1lb higher.

Urban Road
Another improved effort over C&D three days ago, when coming clear of the rest in a race not run to suit (winner given a canny ride in front); won three in a row before that; will likely be dropped in again from the outside stall and the harder they go the better it will be for him.

Enthused
Hasn't won on the Flat in almost three years; this trip more suitable than 7.2f here last week but he stays a deal further and will probably need them to go hard and fall apart.

Get Jiggy With It
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with a maiden win for Charles Hills, from whom she was picked up for 50,000gns late last year; goes in a first-time tongue-tie back from four months out.

Paradoxical
Progressed over the winter and has kicked on again for the fitting of cheekpieces, making it 3-3 in them here (9.5f) last midweek, all for Warren Fentiman; a penalty will make things tougher in a better race but he could well be up to it.

Ciotog
C&D winner off 2lb lower early in the year (things fell perfectly) who's gone off the boil since, including behind Paradoxical last month; will need to somewhat better last week's Southwell effort.

40/1 |
Laser Focus
Stays a deal further than this and has struggled since returned to the Flat (goes in a first-time hood today); may need help from the handicapper now and Enthused looks his yard's best chance.

- William Carson / A W Carroll

50/1 |
Local Bay
Resumes on a workable mark, having lost his way last backend, but he's a serial hard-puller who's done his winning after a recent run, so may be best watched this time.

Aljezur
Regressive maiden for Luke Dace; picked up for 10,000gns last autumn; the headgear comes off as he returns from five months off and Paradoxical is clearly his connections' best chance.
