Nonrunner
Pianoforte, Contemplation and Five Wishes make the shortlist for this decent though tricky seller, with Five Wishes looking the best treated at the weights. A seller winner at Recar in September, Contemplation was far from disgraced in a fair Haydock handicap last time, finishing fifth. That was a decent effort and it would be no surprise to see him go well here, though the trip looks on the short side. Runner-up here in a handicap a month ago, Pianoforte has turned in some decent efforts since. The winner of a similar contest at Wolverhampton in January, Pianoforte can hit the frame now he is eased in class once more. Five Wishes is still a maiden in fourteen attempts, but he got within a head of the useful Zabeel Tower three outings ago. A staying on fourth in a Carlisle claimer last time, Five Wishes can finally make it into the winners' enclosure
