Form & Verdict
Has a useful pedigree and he scored in good style from off the pace at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack; 5-1) on his belated debut last month; just about sets the standard under a penalty and he has plenty of scope for progress on this step up in trip; strong contender for yard that won this last year.

Form & Verdict
Promising fourth in a junior bumper (1m5f, good) on his debut in November but was tailed off at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) next time and was the same story when switched to the Flat at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) 17 days ago; tongue-tie is now added and he has plenty to prove.

Ex-bumper horse; had wind surgery in March; has improved since going handicapping with fair efforts at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) and Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; further progress likely, particularly back over 1m; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden who has had four different trainers, including in the US and France; best form puts him in the picture but he has a very mixed record and was laboured in a Southwell handicap (7f) when last seen in December; tongue-tie now returns and he goes into unknown territory at this new trip.

Marayel

J: Tom Queally

Quirky type with a patchy record but he justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m2f at Brighton (took strong hold) last time; still looks feasibly treated on that penultimate form and has claims if he can bounce back again.

17-race maiden who looked a difficult ride when pulling hard here (1m2f classified) last time but he wasn't beaten far in that race, and that was after an eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks earlier; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back in trip.

Form & Verdict
£25,000 Australia filly who is out of a well-related 1m2f winner (RPR 81); well held when sixth of 11 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) on her debut last month but she ran very green and that was in a decent race; should know much more on this step up in trip and she looks a likely improver on her second start.

Glimpses of ability in novice company (1m-9.5f), albeit without progressing; 22-1 for her handicap debut at Lingfield six weeks ago (1m2f, AW) but she ran a moody race and was detached when pulled up in the straight; cheekpieces now added; still has time to do better but not convincing.
