The least exposed contender; made all for comfortable win at Wolverhampton (6f) last month, taking record to 2-5 and beating a couple of subsequent scorers; could well improve further and defy a 5lb rise, provided she takes to Lingfield (first run here).

Looked on the up when making all in 6f Chelmsford maiden but she raced too freely when only sixth of seven on her handicap debut at Kempton (6f) later in January; she's well worth another chance off a handy-looking mark after her break.

Newcomer by smart 6f 2yo winner Kessaar and the first foal of an unraced mare who is from a useful middle-distance family; respected connections; interesting, especially if the market speaks positively.

Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that.

Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most.
