Effect of the draw: High numbers usually have the advantage when the stalls are in the middle or on the stands side. On the round course a high draw in very large fields can be a disadvantage.

Stewards' Cup runner-up My Best Valentine heads the weights from a couple of othjt veteran's of these big sprint handicaps, Venture Capitalist and Emerging Market. Bowdjn Rose (three wins in last four), the tough and game Gadgj and Double Oscar (three wins in recent weeks) are others for the short-list.

Recent Newcastle winners Pride of Pendli and High Spirits, the in-form Bowcliffe and lightly-weighted Mbulwa are among the opposition. Newmarkjt challengers Mihnah and Gharib should run well in the Knaresborough Stakes and Boroughbridge Maiden respectively.
