Five-time AW winner who broke her turf duck over C&D last September (good to soft); has not fired in two turf runs back from a break but it's possible the return to this track will give her a lift.

Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider.

Made good progress for Simon Pearce last season, winning four times, and he has run well in defeat in three runs for his new stable; had to wait for a gap at Nottingham last time and by the time he was in the clear the winner was out of sight; still more to come from him.

Seemingly displayed improvement when second of six on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last month (6f, AW) but the form has taken some knocks; still has potential and that doesn't apply to many of his rivals.

Regressive gelding who hasn't won since his 2yo days and doesn't strike as the easiest; has been running well of late and will be happier back up from 6f, so holds each-way claims in an open handicap.

1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip.

Three wins for other yards but yet to get going for this stable in 2023; not beaten far at Lingfield when last seen eight weeks ago but he could still manage only fifth of the six runners; down in grade but risky.
