Form & Verdict
Sister to 5f AW scorer Kim Wexler, half-sister to seven winners up to 7.5f, notably Anticipated (Group-placed 5f 2yo) and Midnight Rider (5f-6f); ran green when 10-1 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but she finished well for second; that was a promising start and she's an interesting contender back from a break.

The handicapper has looked in command so far this year but she is down in the weights and should appreciate the drop back into Class 6 company; inexperienced amateur on board.

Form & Verdict
Left his debut form well behind when a promising third at Ripon (6f, good) last month; failed to build on that when only fourth of six at Hamilton but the drop to 5f looked against him and he could resume his progress on this step back up in trip; dangerous.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Scott Dixon

Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred.

Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way.

Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon.

Form & Verdict
Out of a dam who was placed in a bumper and he's been well held at big prices in two 7f runs, most recently at Haydock (good to firm) on his return two weeks ago; has plenty to find on this drop in trip and handicaps look the way forward after this.

Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade.

Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark.

Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden but he's finished a creditable third in two of his three runs for new yard this season, including behind a smart rival in Thirsk novice (1m, good) last time; takes a big drop back in trip but he sets the standard back in calmer waters and is respected; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Ninth foal; gelded half-brother to three winners including Little Boy Blue (5f-7f; RPR 96) and Dusty Spirit (5f 2yo; 78); dam 5f-6f winner (102), out of May Hill winner; has fair target to aim at on belated debut and is probably best watched.
