Tadaany,
Cupid's Arrow and
Meshardal assessed in order of preference.
Mutabaahy has also been running well in defeat, so enters the reckoning, while

SHORTBACKANDSIDES for the bang-in-form local trainer Tim Easterby. This 4yo sits just 2lb above his last winning mark (C&D), has his optimum racing conditions and comes into the race off the back of a narrow defeat at Haydock a fortnight ago.
