| 8th | 1 | 7 |
Alnayef (G)
[P]
6/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) 52 days ago. Can give another good account.

|
| 3rd | 2 | 10 |
Fleur De Mer (M)
Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights if back on her A-game.

| 6th | 3 | 2 |
Grand Duchess Olga (M)
[P]
C&D winner. 18/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 37 days ago, well positioned. Needs considering.

| 10th | 4 | 9 |
Oviedo (G)
Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 125/1, last of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 7 days ago so has work to do.

Daaris (G)
FAV
[B]
C&D winner. Good third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 9/1) 16 days ago. Merits consideration.

| 11th | 6 | 8 |
Appleblossomwhite (F)
[TP]
Well held when sixth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Fair on the Flat though so can't be discounted.
|
Lewis Edmunds | Lemos Souza | 3 | 61.2 kg |

11/1

| 5th | 7 | 3 |
Dollar's Dream (G)
Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Seventh of 10 in novice at this course (12.2f, 125/1) 26 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

| 2nd | 8 | 6 |
Zooks (M)
[P]
Latest win at Ffos Las in July. 5/2, good third of 9 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix.

| 9th | 9 | 1 |
Black Smoke (G)
[BT]
3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. Off 11 weeks before a fading eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 24 days ago. A likely player eased 2 lb with that run under his belt.

Jack Dace | D M Loughnane | 8 | 56.2 kg |

| 4th | 10 | 5 |
Rampant (G)
[V]
Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 10/1) 1 day ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip now.

Jack Nicholls | P Morris | 5 | 55.8 kg |

|
| 7th | 11 | 11 |
Himself (G)
Got off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 33 days ago, just holding on. Up 2 lb but he's firmly in the picture.
