Runners Spotlight

1
Al Rufaa
Favorite

Conditions to suit but he is on a long losing run and usually manages to find something stronger; arrives in form and holds each-way claims once more.

Jockey: Callum RodriguezTrainer: Daniel & Claire Kubler
2
Threatening

Two AW wins last year, the latest over 1m at Chelmsford in November; beaten off this mark at Kempton two weeks later but still likely to give a good account.

Jockey: Luke MorrisTrainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt
3
Studious

C&D winner; twice successful last year, comfortably seeing off seven rivals at Newcastle in November on the second occasion; finished behind Tonal when fourth at Kempton under a penalty and he is another 1lb higher today.

Jockey: Cieren FallonTrainer: Mark Loughnane
4
Ernie's Valentine

Multiple AW winner, including two over C&D; two solid in-frame efforts last month and should run well but he will need to pull out more to defy this mark.

Jockey: Phoebe Edwards(7)Trainer: Ross Burdon
5
Boubyan

Close third over C&D in November before a heavy defeat at Newcastle; last week's midfield finish here (met some trouble) came in a higher grade and he has each-way claims.
