Charencey (G)
FAV
[T]
Raced closer to the pace than ideal when sixth of 15 at Leicester in October, and having fallen a long way in the weights, he makes appeal down in grade for in-form yard.

L Morris | Ian Williams | 6 | 61.2 kg |

|
| 10th | 2 | 9 |
Raysham (G)
Strong in betting when third of 13 at Redcar (1½m) in late-October, and though the drop back in trip doesn't look the obvious move, he's less exposed than his rivals.

Zak Wheatley | D Carroll | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 2nd | 3 | 10 |
Love You More (F)
[H]
More miss than hit following a career-best third at Leicester in the autumn, though likely to be in the mix if bouncing back to that sort of form on return (hood refitted).

Dylan Hogan | J Parr | 4 | 59.9 kg |

12/1
|
| 1st | 4 | 5 |
Desiderata (G)
Backed up his classified stakes win with a creditable third at Lingfield last time, and he cannot be totally discounted on first turf start for current yard. Engaged 5.35 Wolverhampton Friday.
|
R Havlin | T Faulkner | 6 | 59.9 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 7th | 5 | 3 |
James Park Woods (G)
Veteran whose form tailed off following a double last September, though following a rusty seasonal reappearance at Bath, he's quickly back on his last successful mark.
|
S De Sousa | D J S Ffrench Davis | 10 | 59 kg |

22/1
|
| 4th | 6 | 6 |
Mooretown Lad (G)
Has been running creditably on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, without shaping like a winner in waiting, and now switches to turf for the first time since joining current connections.
|
George Wood | A Wintle | 6 | 59 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 8th | 7 | 4 |
Law Degree (G)
[P]
Inconsistent performer who shaped better second time up over hurdles at Catterick latest, and he may make an impact if on a going day returned to the Flat.
|
D Fentiman | T D Easterby | 4 | 59 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 2 |
Haaf A Diamond (M)
[P1]
Underlined her inconsistency when trailing the field in a Southwell handicap last September, though does at least look the type who may benefit from first-time cheekpieces.

Alec Voikhansky | K Frost | 6 | 57.2 kg |

| 6th | 9 | 7 |
Clipsham Noble (G)
[P]
Sole victory came in a similar race with cheekpieces on at Brighton last summer, and while not in the same form when fourth in a classified stakes on stable debut/return at Southwell last time, he may do better back on turf with headgear r…

| 9th | 10 | 1 |
United Force (G)
Ran better than on previous start, especially given his wide trip, when fourth behind Desiderata in classified company at Wolverhampton. However, he's hardly one for maximum faith.
