Red Lion (FR) Fair sort in this grade but tries this trip for the first time and doesn't look the easiest of rides.
Golden Chance (IRE) Big run at York in similar company at the weekend and a repeat performance could see him go close.
Santiburi Lad (IRE) Won a seller over a mile last time and has never raced at anything like this trip before.
Dark Shadows Won over C&D at this handicap mark last term and has to be respected having had a pipe opener last month.
Final Dividend (IRE) Returns to his optimum trip and likely to put up an improved display after struggling at a mile so far this season.
Rashik Won a claimer at Southwell last time and is in good form although this is a much tougher task.
Shaffishayes Bit of an old rogue but did little wrong last time and likely to be a serious contender if in the mood.
Nosey Native Beaten a length in this race last year (won it in '98) and looks to have been laid out for this once again. Ran well latest start over inadequate trip and could be the one to beat.
Melody Lady Winning hurdler but likely to find this a little too tough for her.
Fifth Edition No show so far this term and others make more appeal.
Best Port (IRE) Won with any amount in hand at Nottingham last week and sure to give another good account of himself.
Acquittal (IRE) Only a modest performer and hard to see him getting into the shake-up today.
Indian Sunset No great shakes but ran respectably latest and stable must always be respected on northern forays.
King's Chambers Well beaten in selling company and hard to fancy.
Tajar (USA) Won this race last year and likley to give another good account of himself under his regular lady pilot.
Totem Dancer Not the force of old but goes well for a lady jockey and could still make his presence felt.
