| 2nd | 1 | 6 |
King Of Chaos (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Scott when fourth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) on reappearance 16 days ago. Back up in trip.

| 7th | 2 | 7 |
Jamie Sommers (F)
Thrice-raced winner. 10/11, won 6-runner novice at this course (7f) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May do better again.

Rossa Ryan | D Loughnane | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 3 | 8 |
Grey Horizon (C)
[V]
On a hat-trick after 6f wins at Southwell and here this month. Another 3 lb higher now but has to be respected in his current mood.

K T O'Neill | S Dixon | 3 | 60.3 kg |

4/1

| 5th | 4 | 3 |
Berlinetta (F)
[T1]
Disappointing last of 7 on Southwell handicap debut/reappearance 20 days ago. Top yard reaches for a tongue strap after that.

Jason Hart | W J Haggas | 3 | 59.9 kg |

| 8th | 5 | 2 |
Runamara (G)
Turf maiden winner in September but struggled in 3 handicaps later in the autumn. Has left Kevin Philippart De Foy ahead of this first outing for 95 days.

William Carson | J L Flint | 3 | 59.4 kg |

| 9th | 6 | 4 |
Credit Forgedd It (G)
Ran up to his best under a change of tactics when narrow second of 8 in 8.6f course handicap in December. In nothing like the same form over 1m at Lingfield just 4 days later and now drops markedly in trip.
|
S M Levey | R Hannon | 3 | 59 kg |

| 4th | 7 | 5 |
Watchdog (G)
FAV
15/8, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at Newcastle (6f) 38 days ago by 3½ lengths from Grey Horizon. Did that readily and even a 9 lb rise may not stop him.
|
D Nolan | R A Fahey | 3 | 59 kg |

| 6th | 8 | 9 |
Alfa Duplicate (F)
Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 4 in C&D novice when last seen in June. Goes handicapping for the first time on return (has had wind op) from a mark which demands improvement but the booking of Billy Loughnane takes the eye.
|
Billy Loughnane | I Furtado | 3 | 58.1 kg |

14/1
|
| 2nd | 9 | 1 |
Faithful Dream (C)
Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped better than result when 2¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Grey Horizon over C&D 14 days ago, meeting trouble at crucial stage.

Harry Davies | M Appleby | 3 | 55.3 kg |

Betting forecast: Watchdog (5/2), Grey Horizon (4/1), Credit Forgedd It (9/2), King Of Chaos (11/2), Faithful Dream (10/1), Berlinetta (10/1), Jamie Sommers (10/1), Alfa Duplicate (14/1), Runamara (40/1)
