3/1
Has won one of his 14 races to date and his stable has been in pretty good form recently. Odds-on when scoring over a mile at Dundalk back in March 2016, he has run several good races since, without adding to his tally. A solid second behind impressive winner Sands Chorus here last time, a repeat effort here will take him close.

5/1
Was winning for the sixth time in his career when scoring over 1m4f at York on his penultimate run in a Pro-Am Lady Riders' race. Never a threat after a tardy start when returning to the Knavesmire over a shorter trip, he could go close here if running up to his best.

9/1
A debut winner over 7f when trained by Andre Fabre in France and was successful over a mile at Redcar in March 2016 after returning from being gelded. A winner over this trip at Pontefract in October, he has looked in the grip of the handicapper so far in 2017 but can add to his tally at some stage.

9/1
Has been fairly consistent in her 14 races to date, getting her head in front twice, winning races at Leicester and Newcastle over 7f and a mile. Just under 2L behind an easy winner on her penultimate start over this trip, she was last of six over CD last time but was not beaten that far. Solid claims in this contest.

25/1
Was winning for the second time in her career when scoring on this track last month in a race over 1m4f, staying on strongly under Daniel Tudhope to score. The pair were soundly beaten over a longer trip at Hamilton last time and the drop in here should suit her.

4/1
Often attracts plenty of market support and does not know how to run a bad race. A winner over 7f at Chester last autumn, she has been placed in all but one of her races so far this season in races at around this trip and is a belting each-way proposition. Should take them along at a good pace throughout.

5/2
Had shown plenty of promise in his early career starts and looked as though this trip was right up his street when scoring over it at Nottingham last time, getting up close home to beat Vigee Le Brun by a neck. More to do here but is short-list material.

Forecasts

Aelius (5/2), Mulligatawny (3/1), X Rated (3/1), Celestation (4/1), Jacbequick (5/1), Bahama Moon (9/1), Prying Pandora (9/1), Marmion (25/1)

Verdict

Aelius appreciated the step up to this trip when battling hard to win by a neck at Nottingham last time and a repeat of that run here will take him close. Celestation is a wonderfully game and consistent sort. She seldom lets her backers down and she will give them another great run for their money here and has the ability to add to her solitary success gained so far. Jacbequick is a threat if running to his best while Prying Pandora and Marmion are others with solid claims. Topweight MULLIGATAWNY has been running into form, running a really good race here at Ripon last time. A similar effort here could see him back in the winners' enclosure.
