Form & Verdict
2-4 on the AW, including when comfortably beating a subsequent winner on handicap debut at Southwell (5f) in March; makes his debut on grass from an 8lb higher mark, but he has a classy turf pedigree on the dam's side and remains open to further improvement; respected.

Form & Verdict
Has made the running in the past and has been consistent since winning twice on the AW early last year, including when beaten a neck by a subsequent winner at Lingfield (5f) two months ago; new headgear combination now given a go, but something to prove on only his second turf start (out of the frame in the first).

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer who won twice over 6f (good to firm/AW) as a 2yo for Martyn Meade, but only showed his form once in four starts last year and finished tailed off on stable debut after 173 days off (gelded in the meantime) at Redcar (6f, soft; 100-1) last month; can't be recommended after that.

Form & Verdict
Was returning from 281 days off when fourth of 13 from 1lb higher in a warm handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft; 50-1) four weeks ago; has won on good to soft, but best on faster ground so if the rain stays away she would enter serious consideration.

Would be an appropriate winner on Coronation Day, but very hard to win with (2-41 on turf) despite plummeting in the weights, so it seems unlikely; headgear removed.

Form & Verdict
Finished a well-held fifth of nine on his Newmarket debut (6f, good to firm) last summer, though the form of that race worked out well; went on to win a couple of AW novices over 5f and now makes his handicap debut after seven months off; still open to plenty more improvement and a market check is crucial.

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race.

Four-time C&D winner who bids to win this race for the third year in a row, but he is returning from 226 days off this time and on the previous two occasions he had already had a run; his overall record fresh would be a cause for concern.
