Quick Quasar (G)
[P1]
Palace Pier gelding. Half-brother to useful 6f-1m winner Meshakel. Hasn't progressed from debut but gelding operation/cheekpieces may help having looked a hard ride on qualifying run at Chelmsford last time.

Popty Ping (F)
[V]
Only 1 lb higher than when successful over C&D in December and she was unlucky not to finish closer when sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time, finishing with running left having been denied a clear run. Remains one to be interested in.

Mark Winn | D O'Meara | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| 10th | 3 | 7 |
Kwidsin (G)
Went the wrong way from his debut last summer and hasn't been done any favours by the handicapper ahead of this return from 6 months off.

Oliver Stammers | Grant Tuer | 3 | 61.2 kg |

11/1

| 9th | 4 | 4 |
Maximum Velocity (G)
Much improved on reappearance/handicap debut when third of 12 at Newcastle, despite never really settling, and high hopes he can build on that.

Rowan Scott | N Tinkler | 3 | 60.8 kg |

5/1
|
| 7th | 5 | 10 |
Saxon Grace (F)
Placed in higher grade for Ms Claire O'Connell and was well backed returning from 4 months off when sixth of 10 on stable debut at Wolverhampton, racing freely. Could be capable of better with a run under her belt.

Jason Hart | D Bourke | 3 | 60.8 kg |

Fickle Mcselfish (C)
FAV
[P]
Proved a different proposition under positive ride in first-time cheekpieces when winning with something in hand at Newcastle 7 days ago. Should be able to get a prominent pitch despite a wide draw, and he looks capable of defying a 6-lb p…

D Nolan | T Coyle & K Wood | 3 | 60.3 kg |

|
| 11th | 7 | 5 |
Serragasso (G)
Best effort when fourth of 6 on qualifying run at Chelmsford (200/1), though that was still only poor form, and he'll need to improve to be more competitive on handicap debut.

J F Egan | C Hobson | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Mereside Princess (F)
[P]
Maiden who was third in this grade here (6f) on New Year's Day but didn't have an ideal track position at Newcastle latest, finishing seventh of 9 on first start for 9 weeks.
|
William Pyle | T D Barron | 3 | 59 kg |

9/1
|
| 4th | 9 | 8 |
Tickettothestars (F)
Steps up markedly in trip having run as well as could be expected when fifth of 7 in 5f maiden (125/1) at this course (5f). Her handicap form prior to that was hardly inspiring, though.
|
Joanna Mason | B R Millman | 3 | 58.5 kg |

33/1
|
| 5th | 10 | 2 |
Sirhana (F)
Ran too badly to be true at Newcastle latest, but she'd only looked barely modest prior to that.
|
O J Orr | R A Fahey | 3 | 58.5 kg |

33/1
|
| 8th | 11 | 6 |
Akrivos (G)
Maiden who has been running creditably in all-weather handicaps over longer trips (fourth of 7 at Lingfield last time) and with just an even pace forecast, he can remain competitive under a more positive ride back down in trip.
|
Billy Loughnane | Ian Williams | 3 | 57.2 kg |

4/1
|
| 12th | 12 | 3 |
Forceful Lady (F)
Again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton in January and doesn't look obviously well treated even if bouncing back.
