November's Doncaster winner Manaaber is another Barry Hills' runner with a ground proviso attached but would be an obvious contender if taking part. Enthusing won at Newbury in September and didn't run a bad race as a two-year-old. He should go close if fully wound-up while Sergeant Troy finally came good at Warwick earlier this month, though is 6lb higher here. Agiaal and Enlightening should both find a race this season but a chance is taken on COSMIC MOON on her return to action. Richard Fahey's filly is a half-sister to the stable's useful middle-distance winner Cosmic Sun and has already shown she can run well fresh - she may yet prove well treated off a mark of 73.
