Village Native (FR) Stays this distance and goes well on this course but has been too out of form recently to seriously consider.
Apollo Red A good draw is what this horse has been looking for and must have a great opportunity to follow up on his good second to French Fancy last time.
Billichang Closely weighted to Apollo Red and is held on last running; no reason to see why he will turn the tables today from a poor draw and over a distance he has never won over.
Love's Design (IRE) Never conclusively proved that he stays this trip and with him having his first run at this track today is probably best avoided.
Quids Inn Still a maiden; worse off at the weights with both Apollo Red and Billichang and shouldn't be good enough to win this today anyway.
Muddy Water Goes best when fresh and although lost her way towards the back end of last season comes here with a serious chance.
Strat's Quest Even different riding tactics failed to improve this poor mare last time and a victory is unlikely.
Superlola By sprinter Superpower; one poor hurdles run to date; no real chance unless market speaks in her favour.
