Honest Warning Looks a more viable prospect over 6f.
I Promise You Fifth to Big Future last term over 7f; yet to strike form this time around.
Sutton Common (IRE) Good effort behind Surprise Encounter at Doncaster over 7f; nothing like that in this contest.
Peter's Imp (IRE) There or thereabouts in decent handicaps last year; not put best foot forward this term; best watched.
Avebury Stable always to be feared in this sort of race; fair form and Fallon booked today.
Knight's Emperor (IRE) Two reasonable seconds in handicaps; had Clever Girl (a Pontefract winner) behind so could be in with a shout.
Al Ghabraa Back in trip today; was beaten five lengths by Medicean this time last year so live chance if he can produce anything like that here.
Bahrain (IRE) Has been taking his chances in amateur riders races in recent times; opposable today.
Future Prospect (IRE) Well produced to land a Beverley Handicap last time; looks capable of following up today.
Bulawayo Fair fourth behind Topton at Doncaster over 7f two runs ago; would go close if reproducing here.
Lordofenchantment (IRE) Yet to show in handicaps this term.
Secret Conquest Potentially well handicapped; just failed over 1m last time and could be in the places tomorrow.
Northgate (IRE) Produced best effort for some time when third to Future Prospect; could go close if running up to that form here.
Encounter Mid division in handicaps this term; dropped another 2lb today.
Rio's Diamond Fair effort at Brighton over 6f behind Bold Ewar; has looked a little one paced over 7f.
Santandre Done most of his best work on the sand; difficult to fancy.
