Form Snapshot: Has won nine races from 5f to 1m. Beaten 4l behind Canavall at 70-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Unlikely to trouble the judge here
Form Snapshot: Winner of six races from 5f to 1m. Finished 12l behind Mat Matters when sixth of 9 at 11-2 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Alejandro Gomez. Could bounce back from poor last run
Form Snapshot: Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Won on his latest outing when evens fav at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month, beating Beyond The Bend by 1l. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Crystal Richison. Has strong claims after recent win
Form Snapshot: Has won nine races from 4f to 7f. Beaten 11l behind Courthouse Cove at 66-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Hard to fancy on recent efforts
Form Snapshot: Has won ten races from 6f to 1m. Finished 5l behind Grand Park View when fifth of 6 at 18-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Difficult to assess after long break
Form Snapshot: Has won 16 races from 6f to 1m 2f. Beaten 7l by Mat Matters when second of 9 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f last month. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Joseph Musarro. Likely to be competitive again
Form Snapshot: Winner of seven races from 5f to 6f. Finished 12l behind Kotylos when fourth of 5 at 10-1 on his latest outing at Presque Isle Downs over 6f earlier this month. Should benefit from class drop
Form Snapshot: He has won four times from 5f to 1m. A winner at 55-1 at Mountaineer Park over 5f on his latest outing last month, beating Zaddy by 3/4l. Worth considering after surprise win
Form Snapshot: Has won nine races from 6f to 1m. Won on his latest outing when 7-10fav at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month, beating Bailamos by 4 1/2l. Strong contender based on recent win

Form Snapshot: Winner of five races from 5f to 7f. Beaten 20l behind Speighty War at 80-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 5f (good) earlier this month. Best to avoid on current evidence
Form Snapshot: Has won eight races from 5f to 6f. Finished 1 3/4l behind Canavall when fifth of 8 at 22-1 on his latest outing at Mountaineer Park over 6f last month. Needs significant improvement here
Verdict
COURTHOUSE COVE won the last time out and looks the one to beat despite stepping up in class. Cost Basis won impressively at this C&D last time and Big Effect drops down in class.
