For Carmel (7/2), Sparky's Spirit (9/2), General Girling (5/1), Matrow's Lady (11/2), Coudefoudre (6/1), Cawdor House Bert (6/1), Arquebusier (12/1), Changing The Guard (20/1), Monet Moor (22/1), Scenic Star (40/1)

SPARKY'S SPIRIT finished a decent second Rayvin Black last time out and, while that form is hard to interpret literally, he must be given a chance of going well now switched to handicaps for the first time over fences off this mark. Coudefoudre is a potential improver while Cawdor House Bert has the form to be involved. After a wind operation, Arquebusier might return to the sort of form shown at Chepstow in February and would be competitive if doing so.
