0-14 but he's been placed on his last three starts, the latest over 1m at Lingfield (AW) last week; more exposed than most but no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again.

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut.

Ten-race maiden who has to bounce back from a quiet run at Windsor five weeks ago (tried in cheekpieces which are now left off); drops into his first Class 6 handicap but others look open to greater improvement.

Promise on AW for David Simcock as a 2yo; low-key stable debut at Haydock last month but he fared better tried in a tongue tie at Redcar five weeks ago; return to AW and addition of cheekpieces could prompt extra; one for the shortlist.

Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered.

Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off.

No match for a thriving rival at Kempton (1m) on her recent handicap debut but she kept on well for second and remains capable of better; the extra yardage should suit and she's an interesting contender.

Placed three times from nine starts for James Fanshawe; return to a 0-60 a positive, but she made a low-key stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month and needs to step forward from that.
