Form & Verdict
Won twice (7f and 1m) last season; after returning over an inadequate 6f in May he showed his true colours with a ready success at Leicester 38 days ago (1m, good to firm), overcoming some trouble in running; 5lb higher today but still relatively low mileage; handles good ground and his one run on good to soft came over a trip too short.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Tony Carroll

Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player.

J: Billy Loughnane

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f; ridden by Billy Loughnane); 4lb penalty to shoulder but he won off a higher mark as recently as October; one of two solid contenders for Tony Carroll.

Form & Verdict
Useful in his youth and he has run with credit in two 6f handicaps for this yard after a 429-day absence; two runs over 7f in the past haven't been convincing but at least he's in good order.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the fifth time of asking as a 2yo, responding well to first-time blinkers at Leicester in October (6f, heavy); went without headgear on her seasonal return in April and got behind before plugging on late (6f, soft); no surprise to see the blinkers back on and 7f looks worth exploring; Tuesday's rain will have helped.

Both her wins for Ed Walker came over 6f at Leicester on ground slower than good, the second off this mark last October; two runs for current stable have come over 6f here, not doing enough on either occasion to make her of significant interest today.

Form & Verdict
Placed in his first three starts (7f-1m; slower than good) before an easy win in a Redcar maiden (1m, good; cheekpieces first time) in May; ran poorly on his handicap debut at Musselburgh last month (1m1f, good to firm) but this looks less demanding and he still has potential.

Tailed off on last month's reappearance in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but may have needed the run and those ridden more patiently came to the fore; he won three times last year (1m1f/1m, soft/good) and it will be no surprise if he leaves that latest performance miles behind.

Four 6f wins to his name and he has also run well over that trip at this track; in good form last autumn but he was disappointing on AW when last seen in November; starts out for a new yard over a trip he's yet to prove he stays.
