Won twice in classified company at Wolverhampton earlier in the year and returned to form when third in a similar event there latest. Turf record is hardly inspiring, though.

Four-time winner at Brighton but offered little on his return there last month, extending a run of poor form.

Typically a difficult ride, she hung left when fifth of 9 in a classified event at Bath last time and isn't one for maximum faith.
Dr Ali (Ire)

- F:
- Age

- 9st 9lbs

Dual all-weather winner who wasn't disgraced in a classified event at Wolverhampton last time. Needs more, however, he isn't totally exposed on turf.
Top Biller

Having chased home a subsequent winner at Yarmouth, he isn't best judged on his latest run (posted wide) and may make a bold bid from a handy draw (made all sole previous C&D start last May).
Apple's Angel (Ire)

- T: Jim Boyle
- F:
- Age

Three-time all-weather winner who ran poorly on final start for Simon Dow last September and made it 0-8 on turf when trailing the field at Brighton on reappearance/stable debut.
Charging Bull (Ire)

- T: Michael Keady
- F:
- Age

- 9st 9lbs

Shaped as though ready for step back up in trip when close second of 6 in a handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 7 days ago, finishing strongly behind an all-the-way winner, and should go close if he can produce a similar performance on contrasting ground.
Magnificent Mel (Ire)
- J: George Wood
- T: Rod Millman
- F:
- Age
- 3
- Weight
- 9st 2lbs
- Or
- -
Hit-and-miss performer who finished runner-up to an in-form rival in a classified event at Bath last time, though stall 1 makes life tricky.
Tass
- J: Nicola Currie
- T: Henry Candy
- F:
- Age
- 3
- Weight
- 9st 2lbs
- Or
- -
Has carried little win threat at long odds in 3 starts to date, though ran his best race on the figures on qualifying run at Salisbury, and could be potentially well treated off a lowly opening mark.
Timeform Verdict
A lowly event that may go the way of handicap debutant TASS. Top Biller and Comedian Leader both look interesting given their course form, while Charging Bull isn't fully exposed on turf.
