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.

Attracted support at Wolverhampton ten days ago and ran a better race, albeit not looking to have any excuses; 2lb lower today but this looks a more competitive race.

Hasn't looked ahead of her mark since moving into handicaps; raced freely when only seventh at Southwell last week and a hood and a tongue-tie are now reached for; well drawn but needs a return to her best.

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.

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.

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.

J: Robert Havlin

T: Sean Curran

0-13, but he came closest to winning when beaten less than a length into second of 13 in the first-time hood (retained) over 8.6f here four weeks ago; may have won that race with a clearer run and the third and fifth have won since, so he has major claims if seeing out the extra furlong.

A maiden after 13 runs and seems to have some quirks; might have been unlucky not to open his account at Wolverhampton (8.6f, first-time hood) last month, where he came from the rear and was denied a clear run before snatching second close home, but there are safer options here.

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.
