Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner; second at Bath (11.5f, good to firm) in April; left James Owen for 5,500gns after that and made a respectable stable debut when fifth of ten at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; just one win on turf but he's more solid than most.

Formerly effective on AW but has produced best results for current stable on turf; regressive form since returned to AW started with a modest third over C&D (sole 2m attempt).

Form & Verdict
Poor strike-rate but she put some moderate hurdle and Flat runs behind her when fourth of 11 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) this month; she'd have a big say if building on it from this career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden; beaten just over 18l at Nottingham (1m2f, good; outpaced) last time but half that margin was taken up by the impressive winner, who's gone in again since; first-time blinkers worn that day are swiftly ditched and he's probably ready for this step up in trip; not ruled out.

Dual-purpose performer who got off the mark at the 19th attempt when landing classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; got an easy lead but he justified support in good style and they were strung out behind him; key player.

Form & Verdict
0-18; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified (1m4f) in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; hasn't matched that since, tailed off over 7f last time, and that headgear combination is now swapped for a hood (worn once for previous connections); hard to fancy.

Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close.

0-22 on the Flat and 0-7 over hurdles; sold out of Matt Crawley's stable for 3,400gns after well-held fourth at Fakenham (2m, soft) in February but ought to be better suited by the forecast faster ground here, and could plausibly have been perked up by her new regime.

All four Flat starts on AW; fair effort when fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f) in April and matched that form when beaten just over 4l on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f; first-time cheekpieces) one month ago; unexposed in Flat handicaps and this good-ground bumper runner-up should be fine on the forecast surface.

No win in her first 18 starts but she made the breakthrough when storming 7l clear in a Chelmsford handicap (1m5f) last week; now drops back to 1m4f but she hit a personal best with that success and is a major player again on this switch to a classified event.
