Form & Verdict
Runner-up in three consecutive starts for Richard Hannon last summer and having been absent for 150 days and been gelded, was only beaten just over a length into fourth of 12 on stable debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last month; takes on a couple of less exposed and progressive sorts here, though.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again.

Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days.

Form & Verdict
Sixth of nine on his debut at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in December, but improved when making all and just holding off a long-odds-on shot (unlucky next time) in a four-runner contest over C&D last month; could take some catching if similar tactics are employed.

Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip.

All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell.

Form & Verdict
Twice runner-up on varying ground over 5f at Ripon last summer, but well held in two other starts including at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta); returns from six months off having been gelded in the meantime and the market may be revealing.

Cost 105,000gns as a 2yo but she was only tenth of 12 at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) on her debut in November; travelled well to a point in that race and now drops to 5f for Archie Watson but she still needs to leave her initial form a long way behind.

Well beaten in one start for Alan King at Kempton debut (6f, Polytrack; 17-2) last summer; makes his stable debut (same owners) after 226 days off having been gelded in the meantime, but Al Wosol looks the yard's main hope.

He hasn't landed a blow in two 5f events on Polytrack this year but stepping up to 6f will suit, as will this drop into Class 6 handicaps; blinkers given a go too and he's more interesting than many of these.
