Espanita (F)
FAV
€13,000 Phoenix Of Spain filly. Dam 6.5f-11f winner, won numerous Group events in South America and UAE. Confirmed debut promise when comfortably off the mark in 8-runner maiden at Wolverhampton and her opening mark looks a generous one.

Polka Blue (F)
€34,000 Space Blues filly finished well-backed third over C&D before typically racing too freely when fourth in 6f Leicester novice in October. May not get the gallop she needs here, but it's unlikely we've seen the best of her.

Jason Watson | C Hills | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| 5th | 3 | 7 |
Homestrait (F)
Dual 7f winner as a juvenile but ran too badly to be true in a Musselburgh seller on final start last season. Isn't fully exposed on all-weather, though (runner-up sole previous run).
|
Ben Robinson | B Ellison | 3 | 60.8 kg |

| 1st | 4 | 1 |
Sporting Light (G)
Winner of sole previous all-weather start at Wolverhampton in August and can easily be forgiven latest run at Pontefract in October. Not discounted returned to this surface.

Shane Gray | R A Fahey | 3 | 60.3 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 5 |
Keep An Eye On It (G)
Some promise in turf maidens but easy to back/not given hard time when fifth over 5f here on reappearance. Better expected now handicapping upped in trip.

D Nolan | T Coyle & K Wood | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Tekitoff (G)
Showed more than on pair of starts for Danny Brooke when fourth of 9 on qualifying run/reappearance at Newcastle, though his opening mark has suffered as a result.

J Garritty | M Walford | 3 | 58.1 kg |

| 7th | 7 | 3 |
Everydaysasaturday (G)
Shorter in the betting but failed to improve for switch to handicaps when sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). That run should at least take the freshness out of him.

Zak Wheatley | D Carroll | 3 | 56.2 kg |
