Form & Verdict
Still to win after 14 starts but went close off this mark in December and has likely been waiting for some drying weather since below par on soft two months ago; one of the likelier winners in uncompetitive affair.

2-16 in handicaps, raised to 3m here (good) for last three outings; ridden by Cameron Johnstone-Baker last month on last two starts, runner-up before winning easily with a career best four weeks ago (Miss Tiara third); 8lb higher today but needs plenty of respect.

Yet to score this season but she comes here in decent nick, fourth of nine over C&D in December; mark is easing so she has possibilities after a break.

Form & Verdict
1m Tapeta winner on the Flat who's often pulled hard and been fitted with a hood the past twice (left off today); has had plenty of chances against his own age group and will need to improve on his latest handicap debut effort back from a break.

0-14 over hurdles, and C&D second in January (good to soft) was the fourth time he's been beaten under a length in this sphere; not obviously ungenuine for all that, however, and he'll likely be just right for this after a couple of recent Flat spins; no ground concerns.

5 yo Colt

OR: 93

Form & Verdict
Dual 1m4f winner for Richard Hannon as a 3yo (good to firm and good) who was picked up for 40,000gns last summer; often made the running on the Flat and a return to more aggressive tactics could help back on a sounder surface now handicapping.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame in three Irish points but hasn't offered a lot in three runs over hurdles, all on soft going; whether today's forecast faster ground will work in his favour remains to be seen and would want to see some support now handicapping.

Has enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning three times over hurdles in the autumn and also successful in handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good) and Plumpton (2m1f, soft) on his first two starts over fences; freshened up since a lesser run at Newbury over Christmas.

Veteran who's 1-15 in points and 0-7 over hurdles having been pulled up at Lingfield recently (2m7f, soft); the emphasis will be much more on speed today and he's hard to recommend.
