12st 0lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Good-ground specialist with nine chase wins to his name, latest off 2lb higher in July last year; solid front-running third at Bangor (2m4f, good) 17 days ago after a break and he holds leading claims.

Speed Davis

11st 9lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Two hurdles wins last season, the latter when upped to 2m7f at Bangor (good) in April; still unexposed over this sort of trip but was tailed off when dropped back to 2m4f last month; hard to predict.

Bleu DEnfer

11st 9lb

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Has modest 2-30 strike-rate under rules but kept on well for second at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May and has now filled that position twice since his wind operation in March; could plausibly still have untapped potential over 3m; no surprise if he features.

Paws For Thought

9st 3lb

J: David Allan

T: Donald McCain

Six-time course winner who is versatile trip-wise but all of his wins have been on good or slower and last two have been in the mud; on a dangerous mark but he didn't fire in his three runs this season; has often worn cheekpieces but is now blinkered first time; non-runner here (7.35) on Friday.

Moonlight Melody

9st 2lb

J: David Allan

T: Donald McCain

Big prices and she's been well held in two maidens over sprint trips this season; has plenty of stamina in her pedigree but she needs a transformation on this step up to 7f.
