Rutterkins run behind recent winners George Benjamin and munaaib looks good form since they've both won it looks like the drop to 6fs on this track will suit,was held up in that 7f race I wouldn't be surprised to see rutterkin made more use of in this race from lower draw.The best piece of form in the race was by art dzeko when 3rd to pull the pin off 66 in july 2013,has changed trainers and shown nothing since but only races off 52 in first time pieces.
Mucky molly has beaten some of these before over 6fs she could well be involved in the finish if she leads as she has done over most of her 7f races from decent draw in 5,you could make cases for half the field on some formlines.At the bigger prices although he has quite a bit to find with mucky molly and very first blade it wouldn't be impossible for doctor Hilary to run well.
Rutterkin,Mucky molly,Art dzeko.. (could run well Doctor Hilary at 20s)

Mark Johnston has interesting runner out of leading top class sire Malibu moon first run as 4yr old so conceding lots of weight,will make this an interesting maiden as big ask on debut run but really catches the eye
him sending here,just before flat starts.There are other runners with bits of form some of it on the surface and seaham could be another improver with reasonable sire but hasn't run for 180 days,probably these two most likely winners.
Mondlicht,seaham

There's nothing to separate alpha tauri,arabian flight and beachwood bay on form the 7 pound turnaround with Arabian flight could be enough but Josephine Gordon rides and is currently 1/27 rides although that might just make beachwood a bigger price.The formlines through spitfire also bring them close together..
.There are others with chances but sire stats are poor on the surface,so would be hard to back.
Arabian flight,beachwood bay,alpha tauri

Frontier flight is the only runner in the race with known fibresand form at this level,he's on a very high mark now of 95 off this mark he should be vulnerable but it looks as though there maybe only one or two dangers especially over this c/d which suits him probably better than the mile.There a possibility that apostkle could run well on first run on surface and verse of love not great sire stats but at least prodice winners.
Frontier flight,apostle,verse of love

Not much form over the trip so a bit of guiesswork arr kid out of another top sire medaglia doro looks quite interesting especially on the catterick run in better class race behind ulytimate now rated 142 over hurdles,any improvement for trip or surface in a weak race that won't take much winning.Outrageous request has run well here in the past over 14fs 2nd in 2009 off 77 but won recently over 2mile at Kempton.No reason to think that form can't be repeated back at swell.
Arr kid,Outrageous request.

Fruit pastille looks the most interesting runner in the race with just the 4 runs and open to improvement,staying on behind outbacker and recent 9l winner three d alexander over 6fs at lingfield.Was badly hampered last time out although not sure how near to the winner wouldv;'e got may have been unlucky hard to tell in what was an average lingfield handicap.The sire pastoral pursuits isn't great on the surface but still looks one of the most likelier winners.Nick the odds may run alright even though winning some very poor races has course form would probably have to be a weak handicap to win but going through the swell form already run there he still seenms to have a chance on his win from the 20th of jan time compared ok to older handicap..
Also black Geronimo has changed stable and still relatively lightly race won over 6fs here last time out with 60 rated runners in behind he could well figure with the extra furlong....
Fruit pastille,black Geronimo,nick the odds

Horrible race to end the card,light the citys div was 2 seconds quicker than samosets win in other div,the danger looks to be fire in Babylon as will go on and make it a true test.The most interesting runner ion the race at huge prices is monzino a real rogue,he's just as likely to be tailed off after 1/2 mile as winning but has the ability to run well off these sort of marks and at some point he will pop up again at a huge price..
Light the city,Fire inbabylon Monzino
