Indian Music AW debut; has run some creditable races on turf but could still be harshly treated by the handicapper; market could be a guide.
Sergeant Slipper Can run the occasional good race but has been out of form quite badly recently; hard to see him bouncing back here today.
Westcourt Magic AW debutante; popular 5f specialist who has lost his way over recent seasons; 11lb lower than last victory but usually needs this first run of the season.
Polar Mist Won nicely last time out over course and distance; slight step up in class but that might not stop him taking the honours again; type to run up a sequence of victories.
Brevity Tends to need a race to sharpen him up and he hasn't raced for 114 days; unlikely to show his best today.
Law Breaker (IRE) Consistent sort over his last few runs but an odds-on loser last time; will probably disappoint again today.
Ready To Rock (IRE) Probably better over 6f and looks in the handicapper's grip; dropping down in class today after racing from outside the handicap last time.
Power And Demand Still a maiden who showed little on his return from a six month break when making no show in a weaker race than this over course and distance at the beginning of the month.
Miss Bananas Did not run too poorly from bad draw three days ago at Southwell; back to her favoured 5f today and could go very well.
Shady Deal Out of form recently and could not be seriously fancied despite plummeting down the weights.
