Unexposed 4yo who is out of a 1m2f Listed winner; solid record in first four starts but she raised her game after a break when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (1m, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but she kept on well for that comfortable success and is open to more progress over this longer trip; big player.

Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor.

Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.

Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off.

Prolific winner, including over C&D, and is versatile regarding going; latest success came in an Ayr classified event (1m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month; blew the start and never a factor back in handicap company latest; has the ability to have a big say from this mark.

Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago.
