7.15pm – FRESH ONE @ 7/4
Fresh One has done enough in recent outings to suggest a maiden claimer of this nature is well within his compass, and he should have too much class for the likes of True Shipman and Pray For Jake.
7.45pm – DARING ARTAX @ 4/1
Daring Artax has gone well fresh in the past and has been found a good opening on his return from 283 days off the track. Last seen winning at Fair Meadows in July last year, he can prove too strong for Race The Moon and Fearless Will.
8.15pm – DRAMACIDE @ 9/2
Dramacide accounted for a few of these when finishing a neck second here last time, and might not need to improve much to get off the mark today. November Mike is closely matched and joins Willy Special Cats on the shortlist.

8.45pm – ELIJAH ANET @ 5/2
Elijah Anet justified strong market support when running out a five-length winner here earlier in the month, and he gets a confident vote while that impressive success remains fresh in the memory. Mickey The Moocher and Handsome Traveler should also go well.
9.15pm – WHISKEY FACTOR @ 11/10
West Coast Broker is getting better with experience but his stamina must be taken on trust, whereas Whiskey Factor is proven over the trip and can show his appreciation for the drop out of maiden special weight company. At bigger odds, D C Hero could be interesting.

9.45pm – TAGGART @ 3/1
Soul Temptation and Taggart are both lowered in class, with slight preference for the latter thanks to his fair fifths in a couple of maiden special weights here. Test The Water is interesting on his first start for a new barn, while Blameitonbeckett won’t need to be anything special to make an impact on debut.
10.15pm – HALLIES DREAM @ 3/1
Hallies Dream has hit the crossbar the last twice and only got caught in the dying strides over 6f here, so the drop in trip could do the trick. She is preferred to Mighty Vision, who started off with a decent third. Dakamo Rose has also shown enough to earn a place on the shortlist as well.
10.45pm – GATO GUAPO @ 15/8
Gato Guapo was a little disappointed last time out but went very close in more valuable events at Turf Paradise and Sunland before that and has leading form claims on his Will Rogers Downs bow. Miltontown has really taken this venue and won’t give up on the course hat-trick without a fight, while Vangilder is also considered.
11.15pm – WELDER @ 1/4
Shannon C has filled the runner-up berth the last twice and may have to play second fiddle again, as Welder sets a clear standard on the form of his Remington four-timer in the autumn and boasts nine wins from 10 starts at this venue. Rockport Kat rates best of the remainder.
11.45pm – MADISON’S PLACE @ 9/2
Few of these arrive in form and it looks a good chance for Madison’s Place, a progressive sort who followed her maiden success with a good third over this C&D and has scope for further progress. Way Too Cute and Lady Thunder are others to consider.
