Straight A
Only narrowly failed to justify market support in a similar C&D race last Saturday; a 1lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Havana Sky
Has landed seven 6f AW wins in the last 13 months, the latest at Lingfield in October; good second over C&D last month and player if a lesser effort back over 6f since can be forgiven.

J: Hector Crouch
T: Ed Dunlop

4 | 4/1 | |

Arnaz
Has drawn a blank since a 7f handicap debut success at Brighton in May 2024 but plenty of creditable efforts this year, including second over 6f at Kempton in September; excuses on turf at Yarmouth later that month (final start for Ed Walker); enters calculations on first outing for Mark Loughnane (same owner).

Bint Havana Gold
C&D scorer who resumed winning ways at Chelmsford (6f) in October; not at her best twice since but she's not the type to stay down for long and might be happier back in a 0-70; also well drawn.

J: Finley Marsh

Dragon God
Hinted at ability in three qualifying runs (including 7f on AW) and brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut after wind surgery; also tongue-tied first time; all the more interesting if backed.

J: Ben Sanderson
T: Charles Hills

Token Gesture
Won on nursery debut at Kempton (7f) last autumn but hasn't gone on from that in six runs since; still 5lb higher than for his win and needs to find more for first-time cheekpieces.

J: Tyler Heard
T: Mark Usher

Dapper Gee Gee
Got off the mark at Chepstow (7f) in June; runner-up three times on turf since but weakened quickly back on AW at Kempton 17 days ago and seventh is the placing he's managed in his four AW outings.

J: Jack Doughty
T: Tony Carroll

Diddy Man
C&D winner in April; some decent efforts on turf since but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August and always behind returned to AW here in early October.

J: Robert Havlin
T: Thomas Faulkner

4 | 20/1 | |

The Caribbean
On a losing run but took a step back in the right direction when a close second over C&D at the beginning of October; being put back up 3lb doesn't help but he is well capable in this grade if putting his best foot forward.
|
J: Darragh Keenan
T: Heather Main

Lessay
Ex-Ed Dunlop; has won twice over 7f at Kempton, latest in March; yet to hit form for new yard but is becoming well handicapped.

J: Paddy Bradley
T: Patrick Morris

Book Of Life
Both wins on AW, including here (9.4f) off 1lb lower in February; off seven months, well held at Newcastle (1m) on debut for new yard 14 days ago; needs to have come on a fair bit.

Ten Club
Gained compensation for a near miss over C&D when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last month; his run of good form came to a halt back at Lingfield 11 days ago but a wide trip didn't help.

J: Donagh Murphy(7)
T: Adrian Wintle
