Hover On The Wind (G)
[P]
Successful over C&D in December and having looked unlucky not to win again when close third of 6 in a handicap at Southwell last time, he makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark.

Barry McHugh | P T Midgley | 6 | 61.2 kg |

Dc Cogent (G)
FAV
Landed the odds in C&D maiden last March but 0-11 in handicaps since, for all he again ran respectably when fourth of 11 at Southwell on latest start.

P Mulrennan | B Smart | 4 | 59.9 kg |

Blue Force (G)
[H]
Dual course winner had no excuses when creditable third in Wolverhampton handicap last time and the draw hasn't been as kind on this occasion.

Cam Hardie | A Brittain | 5 | 58.5 kg |

7/1
|
| 7th | 4 | 9 |
Darlo Pride (G)
[BT]
C&D winner hasn't got his head in front for a while, but he did well to finish a close third of 12 at Southwell last time and remains on a handy mark.

Sean Kirrane | M Dods | 6 | 58.1 kg |

| 2nd | 5 | 2 |
Herakles (G)
Did best of those held up when fourth of 11 in a Southwell handicap last time and now only 2 lb higher than for his latest success over C&D.
|
Mark Winn | P T Midgley | 6 | 57.6 kg |
5.50
9/2

| 1st | 6 | 10 |
Rock Of England (G)
Back on his last winning mark having shaped better than the result on Southwell comeback and needs considering from what is likely to prove a handy draw.
|
Jason Hart | P T Midgley | 6 | 57.6 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 5th | 7 | 8 |
Ganesha (G)
Again out of sorts on latest start over C&D in early-February, though reasonable to think this previous C&D winner can be more competitive following a break.
|
Rowan Scott | Phillip Makin | 5 | 57.6 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 3rd | 8 | 7 |
Brian The Snail (G)
[P]
Veteran C&D winner has been more miss than hit this year, reverting to his slow-starting ways when well beaten at Wolverhampton on latest start.
|
William Pyle | P Morris | 12 | 56.7 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 8th | 9 | 4 |
Zuffolo (G)
[V]
Returns off 1 lb higher than when successful in a slightly lesser grade here last autumn, having been very much in a lull when well beaten over C&D in late-November.
|
Connor Beasley | M Dods | 6 | 55.8 kg |

28/1
|
| 9th | 10 | 5 |
Bonito Cavalo (G)
Six-time course winner was more prominent in the betting dropped in grade here last time (9/2) but fared no better and continues badly out of sorts.

Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 7 | 53.1 kg |
