Flat AW
Standard 7f
Nam is the obvious starting point and despite a poor draw, he is likely to take stopping, but at a price and from a good draw, a chance is taken ANNIE FIOR. The selection shaped with a fair amount of promise on her recent stable debut/first start for 168-days, and normal improvement should see her deeply involved. Eacharn and Lily's Prince are also feared. [Shay Howard].

66-1 shot on recent stable debut and showed enough to earn some attention when seventh behind Have A Nice Day (7f) here 12-days ago; stayed on nicely on that occasion and over this longer trip, allied with race fitness on her side, and a 5lb ease in the books, worth a look.

Defied a similarly poor draw when stretching away close home to account for Oor Jock (recv' 6lb) in good style by 1.75l on his recent course visit, with Eacharn (gave 7lb) a further short-head back in third, and A Likely Story seventh; progressive and probably not done with yet.

Eight-time winner went close to recording his fifth victory here when only collared close home by Silk Cravat 26-days ago; similar draw today (one wider) and fancied to be in the shake up off 2lb higher.

A lot of water has passed under the bridge since this ones last C&D win (2015) and probably vulnerable on return from a 231-day break, although well drawn and worth checking out if the market vibes are positive.

Largely competing in claimers of late and picked up a well earned win on the back of some consistent efforts when accounting for Sheisdiesel over 6f last week; equally as effective over this longer trip and remains a threat to all concerned on debut for Karl Thornton.

Dual C&D winner had a good crack at it on recent course visit, trying to slip the field turning for home before settling for second best behind Honor Oak 8-days ago; not a lot more needed and first-time blinkers could well do the trick.

Ran a couple of good races in defeat for Dermot Weld but went winless in 23-starts; bit keen on recent stable debut when seventh behind Nam (recv' 2lb) and with the cobwebs blown away, he should turn the screw another bit, although might need another run.

13-race maiden was 2.5l behind Midnitemudcrabs (gave 2lb) when sixth to Honor Oak 8-days on first start since December; should get closer now fitter and has often promised to break her duck in the past; first-time blinkers now applied.

1-21 with sole win over C&D on penultimate start, and continued in a good vein of form when fourth on next start (Goodnite Irina 2nd); can go well fresh and today's top jockey steered her to a close fourth on the other time they paired up.

Went close to causing a 20-1 upset over C&D behind La Cumparsita on penultimate start; not so good when only fifth in the interim, although not beaten far and whilst absent for 131-days, stable last runner a winning one.

27-months has passed since this ones last win, then rated 81, and now down to a mark of 67 on first start for 131-days; far from threatening to resume winning ways then and probably best observed on this occasion.

Enjoyed a good time of it last summer, picking up wins at Cork and Gowran in June; those victories on the back of a string of placed efforts but lost his way a little since then, although largely on soft ground; in with a shout if fit enough.

Has returned from a 280-day break in cracking form here, narrowly losing out on reappearance before winning on next start (6f), and then trying hard to justify favouritism off this mark when third behind Nam latest; this his widest draw since his return.

Reserve; looked like a seventh career win was a real possibility deep into the contest latest until Nam (gave 6lb) arrived on the scene to win well; clearly back in good spirits and should take high rank if sneaking in, even from 1lb out of the handicap.
