Marry The Night (G)
FAV
[P]
A 4-time C&D winner, latest in March. 7/2, good third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago and can make his presence felt again.

Holly Mist (F)
Fair form in 7f novices, not seen to best effect when third of 5 at Kempton 39 days ago. Can do better now going into handicaps.

Dream Illusion (F)
FAV
Dual C&D winner, latest in March, but only eighth of 9 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

American State (G)
Making only second start for Ivan Furtado (had a breathing operation) when landing 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February that worked out well. Left poorly placed from a wide draw when sixth there last time so he's well worth another c…

Soames Forsyte (G)
[P]
A 4-time course winner. Posted a creditable fourth of 12 in handicap over C&D 26 days ago but unreliable and no banker to back that up.

Union Island (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield in February and not discredited when fourth of 8 in 1m handicap at Newcastle 40 days ago. This C&D winner is in the mix again.

Hachiman (G)
Won 1m maiden at Lingfield in August for Simon & Ed Crisford. Yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle for his current yard.

Looks Fantastic (G)
Remains winless and he came in last of 7 in 7f handicap here 107 days ago. Others more persuasive.
