Quick to make his mark for current yard when going in over C&D in April; largely in good form since and posted a solid fifth of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap 12 days ago; considered.

Twice went close last month at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) then ran pretty well when seventh of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) most recently; this is less competitive than last time and he could be thereabouts.

Found a bit of bother in running when beaten 8l at Redcar but she lacks experience and likely the talent to keep up with the best of these.

Course regular who won over 7f in March; only 2lb higher and mainly running well in the meantime but, although she has run with credit over this far, there's a suspicion that a shorter trip suits her better.

Will win races but he was just behind An Outlaw's Grace at York and he's worse off at the weights with that rival here; there are plenty of others to worry about, also.

Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard).

Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time.

Two AW wins for Hugo Palmer last season (1m, 8.5f); finished last on first two starts for new yard but a switch to blinkers prompted shock return to form when 80-1 and second of seven at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last Monday; interesting to see if the aids work a second time.
