3/1 |
Tremolo
Steady improvement last year culminated with victory in a slowly-run novice on the Southwell AW (7f); appeals as the type to raise his game this season and today's longer trip should suit.

- Sex On Fire
- George Wood / R Spencer

|
25/1 |
Sex On Fire
Dual Southwell winner, a 5f maiden and 7f novice; looks high enough in the weights and it was a bunched finish when close up behind Well Enough and High On Hope back at Southwell last time (7f); had 11 races and now tries headgear.

- George Downing / E Walker

12/1 |
Imperial Trooper
Six runs last season, the best when winning a Ffos Las novice (heavy) before going close in a 7f Sandown handicap on good (5lb lower); following defeats came in sales races; should make his mark in 3yo handicaps.

- Daniel Muscutt / G Boughey

12/1 |
Royal Alliance
Newcastle novice winner over 7f on his second start; not far away in either of his handicaps (1m/1m3f), though didn't pick up for pressure last time at Kempton and cheekpieces are now added over this much sharper test.

- Yabher
- Tom Marquand / W J Haggas

|
9/2 |
Yabher
33-1 debut winner (1m, good; Arbitration fifth) and the ground was heavy here next time (fifth of six at odds of 4-9); didn't appear to handle Newmarket's undulations too well when only eighth of ten on handicap debut at the Craven meeting (1m, good); remains relatively unexposed.
|
|
|
|
- Well Enough
- Darragh Keenan / J Ryan
|
|
|
22/1 |
Well Enough
Ran awful after winning a 7f AW maiden but emerged from behind to edge home in a 7f handicap at Southwell (AW; High On Hope and Sex On Fire close up); that might be dodgy form but has only gone up 2lb; now with John Ryan.
|
|
|
|
- High On Hope
- Pierre-Louis Jamin / Tom Dascombe

|
11/2 |
High On Hope
Got competitive a long way out on his penultimate run at Southwell (7f) and was nailed late by Well Enough who was ridden colder; again beaten in a Bath maiden next time (1m) but by one well bred and unexposed; in the mix.

- Urban Sky
- Joanna Mason / R A Fahey

|
28/1 |
Urban Sky
Hamilton debut winner (6f, good) who was highly tried afterwards, in a Group 3 at York and valuable sales race at the Curragh (after being gelded); hard to gauge his level of ability and he's had a good while off.

- Arbitration
- S H James / K R Burke

|
14/1 |
Arbitration
Fifth in all his runs last season, at 6f, 7f and 1m (all on good ground); gelded ahead of handicap debut and finished fourth of eight having not handled the Musselburgh bend all that well (over 1m1f; 7-2); can improve on that form here.

- Boston Run
- Rossa Ryan / H Palmer

|
16/1 |
Boston Run
Not disgraced in any of his four races last season (7f-1m), all of them maidens or novices; promises to do better at three having been gelded and cheekpieces are on for handicap debut.
|

- Carron
- Jason Watson / C Hills
|
|
60
|
7/2 |
Carron
135,000gns breeze-up buy who appeared to get stuck in the mud in his only run at two; back from a break to win narrowly at Wolverhampton (7f; always prominent) and the clear second seems well regarded; dangerously unexposed handicap debutant.
