Needed a drop to selling company to get off the mark last September (6f, Tapeta) but she has made good progress since, adding a 6f nursery here two weeks later and stepping forward on her reappearance in February with a smooth C&D success; this looks tougher though and she's another 4lb higher.

Inconsistent 12-race maiden but was runner-up over C&D (first-time visor) on his penultimate run and he probably did too much too soon over 6f here last time; on career-low mark on this drop back in trip and he could make a bold bid.

Exposed, free-going maiden who's been turned over at short prices a couple of times round here; much better in the first-time visor off the same mark here at the weekend (made most over 5f) but he'll need to settle better back up in trip.

In the frame three times on Tapeta and may appreciate the return to the AW after being beaten a long way at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on Wednesday, but now 0-10 and the first-time visor will need to make a big difference.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when getting up late in a 6f maiden at Newcastle 11 days ago (runner-up very green when looking to have things sewn up); penalty to shoulder back up in distance (effective over 7f) but likely to be involved.

Going great guns since handicapping, starting with a 6f win here and going on to better things in three 5f events elsewhere; has more to do than at Lingfield 18 days ago but she again sealed the deal quite takingly and a 2lb rise shouldn't be beyond her.

On the go early last season and wasn't seen again after August (gelded in early summer); will need to improve for the switch to AW in first-time headgear and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market for a yard that's made a bright start to the year.
