A few of these have been allocated handicap marks with recent Chelmsford runner-up Dark Shot looking to have the edge on these terms. But there are plenty of others capable of further progress including the filly Gale Song, Sir Roger Moore, Hitman and HAPPY CALL. The latter finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second at Pontefract in September and Simon Crisford's charge gets another chance on that form in a competitive maiden.
