Form & Verdict
Mainly seen on the AW so far, easily winning a Southwell handicap (1m) in December; twiced-raced on turf, finishing runner-up here (1m, soft) last September albeit well behind the winner; my need the run after 168 days off.

Win (off 2lb lower last August) and two seconds to his name from four runs over C&D; pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here last time, and this hold-up performer should fare better as long as it doesn't become tactical.

Won here (7f, good to firm) last August and made an encouraging reappearance when fifth of 14 at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; does stay this far but could do with the ground drying out.

Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper.

Form & Verdict
0-14, but has run well over 1m here the last twice and only went down by half a length (good to firm) on Monday; not sure dropping a furlong is ideal, but still respected in an uncompetitive race.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
1-13, the win coming for Alexandra Dunn at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November; makes his stable debut (same owners) after 133 days off and the market may be helpful, albeit he has finished well beaten in both starts on turf.

Well short of his best on turf on his last two starts but perhaps better judged on this winter's AW efforts, which included a 6f win at Newcastle as well as several placed runs; not discounted at this level.

Does most of his racing on the AW; four places from six runs this year; effective at 5f/6f but bit to prove on his turf form.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick on the AW at the start of the year with his overall record on artificial surfaces 31113, but four efforts on turf, including at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last time, have been moderate; enough to prove.

T: David Simcock

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Will be having her 12th-consecutive start at the track, with her record over 7f here reading 711232813; this is a higher grade than she normally contests these days, but the form of her latest third of 14 here has already been franked by the winner and she is now 2lb lower; major contender.
