Placed in five of 18 starts. Beaten 10l behind The Gay Blade at 5-2fav when eighth of 12 on his latest outing at Musselburgh over 7f (good) earlier this month. It is difficult to build a strong case for him and others are preferred for win purposes. Official BHA Rating 48

Unplaced in all four starts. Finished 9l behind Kats Bob when fourth of eight at 20-1 on his latest outing here over 6f (soft) last month. Needs to improve significantly on that most recent performance, but he at least remains unexposed after just four starts. Official BHA Rating 50

Narrowly denied on two of his last three starts, SIXCOR looks primed to defend his crown, having won this off an identical mark last year. The booking of Dougie Costello for the first time could be another plusandheisnarrowlypreferredtoEmeraldsPride,whohasa5lbpenaltytoovercomeforscoringover C&D on Monday. Fellow C&D winner SkiAngel and Mehmo are capable of being in the shake-up also.
