Arqoob (G)
[B]
Course winner who failed to build on reappearance effort when (cheekpieces on) sixth of 9 in handicap at York (1½m) 20 days ago. Usual blinkers refitted and could bounce back.

Minhad (G)

Resumed with success at Thirsk (1½m) in April and backed it up with a solid fifth of 17 in handicap at York (1½m) following month. Needs considering.

Marnier (G)
[P]
Got off the mark in a Lingfield maiden (1½m) in November. Better form in handicaps this season, posting a good third of 9 over C&D 20 days ago. Enter calculations again eased 1 lb.

Galactic Jack (G)
[PT]
Won at Salisbury in June 2023 for Andrew Balding but below that form for a host of trainers since, including over hurdles. Others more persuasive back in this sphere.

Macari (G)
C&D winner who comes here in decent nick, beaten around 5 lengths when eighth of 9 in handicap over C&D 20 days ago. No forlorn hope off a slipping mark.

Aggagio (G)
Goodwood specialist who posted a respectable third of 8 in handicap there (1¾m) 21 days ago, that despite doing a bit too much in front. Not out of things off a 2 lb lower mark here.

So Alex (G)
Dual 1½m winner at Wolverhampton last winter (under today's rider). Has resumed his progress this season, finishing well when second of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (1¾m) 18 days ago. Remains unexposed at this trip so he's a player nudged up…

Pyleates (F)
Fair maiden who returned with a good third at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut and not seen to best effect with seventh of 9 over C&D 20 days ago, suffering a poor run over 1f out. Remains with potential at this trip.
