Thanks Max (IRE) Narrow winner of Newcastle handicap in July (now 4lb higher) but flopped next time and has seven-weeks absence to overcome.
Byo (IRE) On a long losing sequence and looks vulnerable once again off stiff mark.
Nifty Alice Not at her best of late and still looks too high in the weights.
Cark In tremendous heart at present and just touched off at Haydock latest (now 2lb higher); handles soft ground well and looks the one to beat.
Baron Crocodile Best form with plenty of cut in ground but looks handicapped up to best of late.
Western Flame (USA) Landed Lingfield maiden in June and fair effort in Chepstow minor event subsequently but has gone off the boil of late.
Taras Emperor (IRE) Has struggled throughout current campaign.
Ho Pang Yau Exposed maiden who can't be fancied after abysmal effort over C&D latest.
Lady Lenor Dropping down the weights but still struggling to lose her maiden certificate.
Love (IRE) Appears to be on the downgrade on recent evidence.
Peruvian Wave (USA) Solid effort here in August (6f, good) but flopped next time; lightly raced and may improve for soft ground conditions.
Rare Old Times (IRE) Has found life difficult in handicaps this term including in blinkers and an unknown quantity on soft ground.
Bosra Badger Well held of late including in blinkers; likely to find this too tough.
Flying Tackle Consistent efforts in low grade handicaps/maidens give him an outside chance if handling these softer ground conditions.
Garrison (IRE) Effective on this ground but became disappointing during summer and returns from ten-weeks absence.
Mrs Tiggywinkle Poor maiden who looks likely to struggle here.
Celotti (IRE) Has been struggling of late.
Lady Eberspacher (IRE) No encouragement on latest starts.
Paid Up Out of form of late and now tried in blinkers for first time.
Thorntoun Diva Faces no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap.
