Tamarind Bay (G)
Fair hurdler. Off 3 months, ran up to his best when 12 lengths second of 8 in Doncaster maiden 31 days ago. The step back up in trip is likely to suit but he'll need to find improvement to defy this mark.

Snowrocco (M)
[P1]
On the up when winning a pair of handicaps around 3m on good to soft in midwinter (here first occasion). Latest Musselburgh run was too bad to be true and she's capable of bouncing back to form in first-time cheekpieces.

Dramatic License (G)
Won a maiden hurdle over this sort of trip in Ireland for Stuart Crawford last summer but ran no sort of race in 3m Wetherby handicap on recent first outing for this yard after 5 months off.

Chemoulin (G)
FAV
[T]
Rather fortunate winner of Haydock maiden hurdle (good to soft) 26 days ago but this 6-y-o still brings an unexposed profile to this handicap debut.

Milan Park (G)
[T]
Fair maiden who showed he can be very competitive from his mark when 3 lengths third of 8 over an extended 2¾m at Kelso (heavy) last month. Considered.

Jehol De Thaix (G)
Unexposed sort who took a step forward when second of 9 in Haydock handicap 26 days ago. Pulled 12 lengths clear of the third so a 3 lb rise looks more than fair. Leading claims.

Danny McMenamin | N G Richards | 7 | 70.8 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | — |
Nosy Neighbour (G)
Hit frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points and showed ability when third on 2m hurdle debut. Well below that level twice since but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance and this significantly longer trip should also suit.

Nathan Moscrop | R Menzies | 5 | 69.4 kg |

Tea Boy (G)
Only minor promise in 3 bumpers/hurdles and his opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous.
