9th	3	4	Myrrh (F) T Landed 1m Hamilton maiden last autumn. Has beaten one rival in her last 3 runs, last of 7 at Doncaster (1m, firm) in July. Has since had a breathing operation and first-time tongue strap also fitted …	3-34687	S D Bowen D O'Meara	3	61.2kg	11 10/1
4th	4	8	Sailor Batt (G) Remains a maiden and he has been below par in 7f handicaps at Redcar and Ayr on his last 2 runs since returning from 5 months off.	533774	Finley Marsh T D Barron	3	60.3kg	5 4/1
—	5	10	Aurelune (F) Has improved since switched to handicaps when placed over 1m at Leicester and Hamilton. Must enter calculations off an unchanged mark.	536732	Shane Gray R A Fahey	3	60.3kg	5.50 9/2 Betfa… 8 Paddy… 8 Sky B… 8
1st	6	2	Coxy's Star (F) FAV Back to form with second of 12 in handicap over C&D 15 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark in her bid for a breakthrough success.	540492	Billy Loughnane W Muir & C Grassick	3	60.3kg	3 2/1
—	7	13	Snaafy (G) B Scored over C&D in December. Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) a week ago, despite going off too hard. Blinkers go on for first t…	295983	H Crouch D Loughnane	3	60.3kg	7 6/1 Betfa… 4.50 Paddy… 4.50 Sky B… 4.50
7th	8	1	Thestral (G) A fair 7f scorer (albeit not straightforward) for Hugo Palmer who signed off for that yard with a good third at Wetherby in June. Not in same form in 3 starts for this stable, though.	230597	William Carson A W Carroll	3	59.9kg	29 28/1
5th	9	11	Gifts Differing (F) Shaped well when runner-up at Newcastle for her new yard in September but only tenth of 11 in handicap here (9.5f) 22 days ago. Not out of it if back on her A-game.	566920	Josephine Gordon R Burdon	3	59.4kg	26 25/1

3rd	11	5	Meritocratic (G) V Unreliable maiden for James Horton. Yet to hit top form in 3 runs for new handler, sixth of 10 over C&D 22 days ago. Visor is retried now.	—	C Lee James Owen	3	58.5kg	4.33 10/3
10th	12	9	Florizelle (F) Well held in novices and in handicaps at Salisbury (1m) and Sandown (1¼m, good to soft) on her last 2 runs.	56887	Ashley Lewis E Smyth-Osbourne	3	58.1kg	23 22/1
