Mr Swivell (G)
Not seen to best effect in Cambridgeshire when last seen in September but had scored 3 times over this sort of trip earlier last season. Not out of things on return.

Back In Black (G)
FAV
Lightly raced for his age and acquitted himself well in all 5 starts last year. Off 6 months prior to posting a solid fourth of 24 in Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) 21 days ago and can race off same mark here. Big player.

Daniel Muscutt | J R Fanshawe | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 6th | 3 | 6 |
Apotheosis (G)
[HT]
Course winner who returned to best form when close second of 10 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) 63 days ago, clear of rest. Warrants respect back on these shores.

Tom Marquand | S & E Crisford | 5 | 60.8 kg |

Christian David (H)
[B]
Dual winner over 7f last year who arrives on the back of a creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good, 14/1) 25 days ago. Ought to go well again.
|
Joe Leavy | R Hannon | 5 | 59.4 kg |

| 8th | 5 | 7 |
Sword (G)
[T1]
Quirky sort who needs things to fall right and ran no sort of race when last seen at Haydock on final start for David O'Meara in October. Tongue strap on for first time. Others are more convincing.
|
David Probert | S C Williams | 5 | 57.2 kg |

40/1
|
| 5th | 6 | 3 |
The Dragon King (G)
Returned to winning ways over shorter trip at Wolverhampton in November and run creditably in defeat since, latest when fifth of 12 in handicap on all-weather here 36 days ago. Can make presence felt.
|
H Crouch | C G Cox | 4 | 55.8 kg |

16/1

| 2nd | 7 | 8 |
Dragon Leader (G)
Not successful since his juvenile campaign but arrives on back of solid efforts at Wolverhampton and Newmarket and is likely to be in the mix again here.
|
Georgia Dobie | C G Cox | 5 | 54.9 kg |

8/1
|
| 1st | 8 | 2 |
Foreseen (G)
Returned to winning ways at this venue in January and backed that up with creditable placed efforts in all-weather handicaps (both 1m) here since. Should give another good account.

S De Sousa | A W Carroll | 5 | 52.6 kg |
