1

Qaysar

Hit top gear last summer, including four wins in five starts, usually pouncing from midfield. Starts 2020 on quite a stiff handicap mark.

2

Pogo

Has a pretty good record especially as he usually competes in tough big field handicaps. Fought hard to win at York last August.

3

Blown By Wind

Versatile ground and distance-wise. An imposing gelding who produced a career best with a terrific last to first surge at Musselburgh in October.

4

Alemaratalyoum

An eight times winner who needs to be held up for a late surge. It was heavy ground when he easily won a Goodwood handicap, his ideal surface, last September.

5

Three Saints Bay

Twice in action on the all-weather this year, well beaten each time. In better shape at Thirsk last August when leading throughout, his sixth career win.

6

Sir Maximilian

A popular veteran sprinter who has won 11 of his 60 starts. Having his first-ever try at this trip when a fast-finishing winner at Chester last September.

7

Nahaarr

Won his first four starts, his performances improving each time. A soaring handicap rating eventually found him out but another good season expected.

8

Revich

Has won just two of his 18 starts, but those two handicaps were over this distance on good ground. Makes his 2020 return here.
