| 2 | 330668 | | | Manchester Tom | 2 | Ft | Matthew Williamson(J) | Has been battling away in this grade for some time. Happy to risk for now. |
| 3 | 7X570X | | | Towney | 3 | Ft | David Johnston | 9yo resuming & though the stable gets them ready he's hard to get keen on. |
| 4 | 737034 | | | Candlestick | 4 | Ft | Mattias Hjalmarsson | Just a fair run when 3rd at Forbury last time. This is tougher. Place best. |
| 5 | 049346 | | | Gingerwyn | 5 | Ft | Brad Williamson(J) | Running solid races & from the handy draw he can play a part in the finish. |
| 6 | 430 | | | De Malmanche | 6 | Ft | Regan Todd(J) | Dual acceptor but was sound at Nelson. Staying type that will look to go forward |
| 7 | | | | Tinted Light | 7 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Trials efforts to date only moderate. Taking notes for now. |
| 8 | | | | Laura D | 8 | Ft | Ricky May | Just a run at the trials recently. Prefer to see at this stage. |
| 9 | 308293 | | | Maybe Flyin | 9 | Ft | Ray Needham | Gutsy again last time. This is an ounce tougher but she's well worth including. |
| 10 | 77 | | | Ripia | 10 | Ft | Samantha Ottley(J) | Just fair in two runs to date. Had a wee freshen up but hard to see winning. |
| 11 | 796000 | | | The Black | 11 | Ft | Brian Kerr | Has been disappointing on the whole. Happy to risk for now. |
| 12 | | | | Last One VC | 12 | Ft | Michael Heenan | Comes out of some weak trials & workouts but that form is ok on paper. |
| 13 | 585 | | | Bashful Compton | 13 | Ft | Terry Chmiel | Just average so far & draw will offer little help. Place chances look best. |
| 14 | 0X0035 | | | South Coast Boy | U1 | Ft | Nathan Williamson | Has some upside here but the Ur mark makes it tricky. Good enough to figure. |
