Well beaten in two of her three races but the second here to Box Clever (7f, good to firm) offers hope off this mark now into nurseries.

J: Luke Morris

Never involved on Newbury debut (6f; 14-1) but she came on plenty for the run and the extra furlong when faring much better at Salisbury recently, travelling well but running green under pressure when a close second to the more experienced favourite; can improve further over 1m.

Half-sister to a dual 7f Group winner (including 2yo) for her stable; never landed a blow on debut at Newbury (6f) last month, but that was likely a solid maiden and she may well do better over this extra furlong with the experience under her belt.

Just one win from 11 starts but he hit a personal best when going close in a 20-runner handicap at York (7f, good) last month; the first three pulled clear in that race and he's strongly respected off only 1lb higher.

Usually runs some sort of race but he has not finished with much purpose at Southwell (AW) or Lingfield (turf) on his last two starts, and this is more competitive; needs a revival.

Scored on handicap debut at Newbury (6f, good) in August and it was a good return when just failing at Kempton in March; took a big step backwards at Southwell (also 7f, AW) next time, although that was a little out of character so probably worth forgiving.

Improved for the switch to nurseries last summer, winning easily at Ffos Las and Doncaster (both 6f) before finishing off strongly for sixth in a much stronger race at York's Ebor meeting; better than ever when winning a C&D handicap in April and his subsequent fifth of 19 at Ascot was in a Class 4; could still rate higher; key player despite a wider draw than ideal.

More exposed than most but he won third handicap when making all at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; just held on) four weeks ago; also won twice at 6f on sound turf so these conditions should be no problem, but a 4lb rise might be.

Dual turf winner (6f) last summer and he's run respectably from the front at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in his last two starts; should benefit from his reappearance run last month and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous with cheekpieces reapplied.

Still quite unexposed but may be ground-dependent; has shown his handicap form (win/third, both over 7f last autumn) on heavy and was withdrawn due to good going on intended reappearance; gelded since he last raced.

Disappointing at 9-2 on Newmarket debut in May, but he returned after a gelding operation with a much improved third under prominent tactics at Doncaster (7f, good) last month; sets good standard on that form and he's open to more progress on this step up to 1m; key player.

First foal of a 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 85); well backed into 9-2 for Newmarket debut (6f, good) in May but he faded into a remote seventh of 11; gelded since and he needs a transformation upped in trip after a short break.

Justified 9-4 favouritism in Salisbury maiden (7f, good to firm) in August and she may not have handled the heavy ground on nursery debut there (fourth of six) last month; still unexposed but she's untried on AW and needs to resume her progress at this new trip.
