1. I've Got A Friend(0)Form: U2-1

J: Brian Hughes · T: Gary Hanmer · 5yo · 11st 9lb · trainer 0% (14d)

By Idaho out of Rose Cottage (Flemensfirth) · Owner: Mr Steven Preston

10/11Bet365

Won last time out and a second two starts back, so I've Got A Friend arrives in rude form, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 163 lb, his only reservation is a 48-day break, but he is the one to beat.

2. Clear The Way(0)Form: 77/4F-

J: Peter Kavanagh · T: Jane Walton · 5yo · 11st 2lb

By Getaway out of Consuelita (Singspiel) · Owner: The Optimistic 2 Syndicate

14/1Bet Victor

Lightly raced and unexposed, Clear The Way fell last time out after a fourth two starts back, with sevenths three and four starts back, so he's yet to win in recent form. Back after 167 days off and carrying 156 lb, he may have more to offer.

3. Laser Des Mottes(0)Debut

J: Derek Fox · T: Stuart Coltherd · 5yo · 11st 2lb · trainer 0% (14d)

By Montmartre out of Sepia Des Mottes (April Night) · Owner: Cruikshank Coltherd

5/1Bet365

Laser Des Mottes is unexposed with no recorded runs to go on, so he is open to any amount of improvement. He carries 156 lb, and he is one to learn from rather than judge.

4. Our Clive(0)Debut

J: Jonathon Bewley · T: George Bewley · 5yo · 11st 2lb · trainer 0% (14d)

By Mizzou out of Open Your Heart (Soviet Star) · Owner: G T Bewley

12/1Bet365

Our Clive is unraced on the figures we hold, so he's an unknown quantity and open to plenty of improvement. He carries 156 lb on debut, and with no form to lean on, this is all about unexposed potential.

5. Big Vik(0)Debut

J: Craig Nichol · T: Brian Ellison · 4yo · 11st 1lb · trainer 5% (14d)

By Cityscape out of Ananda Kanda (Hero's Tribute) · Owner: Kristian Strangeway

8/1Bet365

Unraced and with no recorded form to go on, Big Vik is an unexposed gelding who could have plenty of improvement in him. He carries 155 lb, while his trainer is struggling, with one success from 21 in the last fortnight.

6. The Gloves Are Off(0)Form: U3-

J: Ricky Doyle · T: C. W. J. Farrell · 4yo · 11st 1lb · trainer 0% (14d)

By Getaway out of Koko Rose (Beneficial) · Owner: Douglas Taylor

7/1Bet365

Lightly raced and unexposed, The Gloves Are Off was third last time out, and he unseated two starts back. He returns after 196 days off, so fitness is a question, but he looks open to improvement under 155 lb.

7. Pether's Daisy(0)Debut

J: Callum Bewley · T: Ewan Whillans · 4yo · 10st 8lb · trainer 14% (14d)

By Pether's Moon out of Uppermost (Montjeu) · Owner: John Elliot Partners

10/1Bet Victor

Pether's Daisy is an unraced filly with no form to assess, so she is entirely unexposed and open to improvement. She carries 148 lb on debut, and she'll tell us plenty about her profile once she's had a run.
