Lunar Power (G)
[P]
Went close twice in small-field handicaps last summer for Donald McCain. Quiet start for new yard on the all-weather this year but has dropped to a tempting mark (won off 129 over hurdles at his peak).

William Carson | Mrs L J Mongan | 8 | 61.2 kg |

Rogue Empire (G)
Returned with a satisfactory run at Kempton (2m) a fortnight ago. Mark has dipped another 2 lb and he can find a small race.

Marco Ghiani | R A Teal | 4 | 60.8 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 7 |
Smokey Malone (G)
[BT]
Completed a hat-trick on the all-weather earlier this year. Fair run last time and has plenty of good efforts on this course to his name. Wouldn't rule out back up in trip.

S M Levey | J & S Birkett | 8 | 60.8 kg |

| 5th | 4 | 8 |
Regally Blonde (M)
[P]
Won 2 turf handicaps at up to 2m last summer. Should have come on for her first run back behind Balgowan here 3 weeks ago and back on last successful mark.

H Crouch | B I Case | 7 | 59.9 kg |

Balgowan (G)
FAV
Back to winning ways in 2m handicap on the polytrack here 3 weeks ago. Pretty consistent for the level so should remain competitive back on turf after a 2 lb nudge.
|
Ashley Lewis | J W Mullins | 7 | 59.4 kg |

| 8th | 6 | 9 |
Cherry Cola (M)
[P]
On a long losing run although has run a number of good races on this course. Record suggests she might need this after 7 months off.
|
Rose Dawes | Miss S West | 10 | 57.6 kg |

| 10th | 7 | 6 |
Charles Morin (G)
[P]
Sole win came on this course 2 years ago. Ran well with cheekpieces reapplied when 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Balgowan on the polytrack here 3 weeks ago and a player if building on that back on turf.

James Glennon | P Phelan | 5 | 57.6 kg |

Capone (G)
[P1]
Won at Chester in June 2023 but has looked regressive this year. Headgear goes back on.

High Favour (G)
[H]
Has gone backwards since stable debut and application of hood last time failed to spark anything more positive.

Tyler Heard | C Poulton | 4 | 54.4 kg |

Golden Samba (F)
Well held in 1¾m handicaps this season and needs this longer trip to spark some improvement.
