Lord Rapscallion
Retains plenty of gusto aged nine and scored in big field at Chelmsford most recently, completing an AW hat-trick; successful (off just 1lb lower) in this race two years ago; likely player.

Mercury Day
Both wins over 1m last June, including handicap (off just 1lb lower) on the other course here; no further progress since but is competitively weighted and can't be ruled out; has form at 7f.

Waiting All Night
Ran respectably in first-time visor here (1m) two weeks ago, while shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; scored twice, including off 4lb higher, on the July course here last term; possibilities.

Lyndon B
Remains perfectly well handicapped on best form; however, this 9yo lacks recent match practice (absent for seven months) and hasn't won since 2022; not the percentage call.

Mudamer
Only 1-15 for current stable, the win at Beverley (7.5f) in 2023; however, ran encouragingly (close third over 1m) at Ripon on reappearance and remains on a workable mark; in the mix.

Yaaser
Record is 8-51; won going away at Ayr three weeks ago; made good late headway from rear in big field at York (again over 7f) on Friday, showing that he remains in form; difficult to rule out.

Ash Wednesday
0-6 on turf; tremendously productive on AW this year, winning six of his seven races (6f trip provides an excuse for the defeat); respected, assuming he transfers the progress back to this sphere.

- Lunario
- Jack Dace / L A Dace

|
12/1 |
Lunario
Campaigned mostly at 1m but his two efforts this season, for new stable, suggest this belated return to 7f is worth exploring; only 1lb above last winning mark; one to consider.

- D Swift / S Spencer

Kit Gabriel
AW winner for current yard; close second, clear of remainder, at Leicester (1m) last weekend for a solid return to turf; defied a 2lb higher mark in this sphere (6f) in 2021; fighting chance.

Flag Of St George
Spoiled his finishing effort by hanging at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time but went down by only a neck and now goes in first-time headgear, which may well help; gained sole success in the novice event on this card two years ago; interesting back here.

12/1 |
Izzari
Successful in Sunday Series event at Musselburgh (1m) five weeks ago on seasonal debut, adding to his December AW win (7f); connections evidently have the bonus in mind; has low mileage and may well improve further; one for the shortlist.

- The Bitter Moose
- David Probert / P R Chamings

50/1 |
The Bitter Moose
Has developed a habit of starting slowly; scored twice on AW in 2023 for previous yard; form has dipped sharply this term for new stable and latest defeat took his turf record to 0-12.

Be Frank
Two wins for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable but ran well (close fourth off 7lb higher) over C&D last September; attractively handicapped on seasonal debut and market support should be heeded.
