2nd	1	2	Crestofdistinction (G) Second in a listed race at York last September but struggled this year and finished only 11th of 13 in a handicap at Doncaster 28 days ago. Perhaps needed that outing after 4 months off and being gel…	824-000	George Bass J Channon	4	63.5kg	21 20/1
12th	2	7	The Strikin Viking (G) H Has been more miss than hit so far this year, but seventh of 21 in a handicap at Doncaster 29 days ago was a bit more encouraging and Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle means he needs a second gl…	4-05697	Tom Marquand H Al Jehani	4	63kg	19 18/1
9th	3	11	Caburn (G) V Yet to win this year but came fourth of 7 in listed race at Newmarket in August before tailed off 16th of 24 at Ayr 22 days ago, looking unsuited by heavy ground. First-time visor now replaces usual …	830640	H Crouch J Tate	4	63kg	12 11/1
1st	4	3	Deep Havana (G) FAV Gelded before winning at Thirsk (beat subsequent winner) in August on return from 17 months off and is best excused recent flop on heavy going. Lightly raced and merits respect.	222101	James Doyle H Al Jehani	5	62.6kg	3.50 5/2
11th	5	6	Midnight Thunder (C) T Off 19 months prior to August reappearance and produced an excellent second of 9 at Thirsk in September which gives him a chance here. Subsequently stopped as if something was amiss at Yarmouth thoug…	9/40-528	Oisin Murphy S bin Suroor	4	62.1kg	6 5/1
6th	6	9	Collecting Coin (G) Won over 7.5f on yard debut at Chester in July and produced good efforts in defeat both starts subsequently. His stable continues to go very well and he looks sure to be in the mix if proving as well…	061256	George Wood J Candlish	4	59.9kg	8 7/1
4th	7	10	Jungle Drums (G) Inconsistent sort whose last couple of wins have come on all-weather but he was a good 4th of 10 over C&D in August so holds place claims on that effort. Not so good on heavy going at Ayr last month,…	144047	William Carver J A Osborne	4	59.4kg	26 25/1
7th	8	14	Sudden Flight (G) P Ran well when second 3 times in a row in June and July, including once over C&D. Also ran creditably here when fifth of 10 42 days ago and was by no means disgraced dropped to 5f at Chester last time…	222055	Donagh Murphy R Hughes	4	58.1kg	19 18/1
5th	9	8	Bone Marra (G) T All 3 wins on all-weather, the latest at Southwell in June. Also ran well on turf (soft ground) when third of 24 in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and now has the benefit of Billy Loughnane taking ove…	012335	Billy Loughnane Ollie Sangster	3	57.6kg	7 6/1
3rd	10	13	Brosay (G) B Runner-up twice over C&D in September but only sixth of 14 at Salisbury 10 days ago. Needs noting that he's 7 lb below last winning mark which came around this time last year so he's got to be consid…	992263	Rossa Ryan Charlie Pike	4	57.6kg	6 5/1
8th	11	12	Dream Composer (G) P Twice a winner over 5f since joining this yard and, though his last couple of efforts haven't been good, he's got a C&D win in the past to his name so isn't without hope.	715437	Myla Coppins A W Carroll	8	57.2kg	34 33/1
13th	12	1	Justcallmepete (G) B Won over 6f at Windsor in May but largely run poorly since. Has now dropped below last winning mark, though, and this race looks more realistic than the strong handicap he contested at Doncaster over…	315408	Jack Dace A W Carroll	7	56.7kg	41 40/1
—	13	5	Percy's Star (G) B Won over C&D in a handicap (beating Brosay by ½ length) 18 days ago. 4 lb higher here and hiked in grade but less-exposed than most of these and the fact he's proven at the track counts for plenty.	416621	S De Sousa C A Dwyer	3	53.5kg	6.50 11/2 Paddy… 9 Betfa… 9 Sky B… 9
10th	14	4	From The Hip (C) Second of 10 in a handicap at Kempton on all-weather 6 days ago, taking time to knuckle down but resuming his progress. Lightly raced on turf and already has a win to his name but this is a better ra…	11-3182	Tyler Heard M D I Usher	3	53.5kg	21 20/1
