Nine wins including two over an extended 5f at this track; last win was off this mark at Wolverhampton (6f) in November and he ran well to finish third in a classified event there last time; now drops back in trip but he's effective on fast ground and should get a decent tow into this race; respected.

Won at Wolverhampton (6f) in February and was close second there last month but he's finished a well-held eighth (Tapeta/turf) in last two starts; still unexposed on turf but record is now 1-16 and he's untried at this trip; others preferred.

Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes.
