Out of a 5f winner and has been campaigned only at that trip; disappointing favourite in nursery most recently, failing to back up his Super Sprint effort; something to prove upped in distance.

Ffos Las third under a penalty in novice company has been well advertised since and he showed better form again when third in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time; trainer 4-12 with 2yos here and this one may yet have more to offer on this stiffer track, so he goes on the shortlist.

Ran way above market expectations when a clear second on her Beverley debut, and did so again at the same course last time; trainer boasts a fair record with 2yos here down the years and she sets the standard.

Dual turf winner who has returned to form with cheekpieces fitted, finishing runner-up over C&D (good) last month and at Musselburgh (7f, good) 17 days ago; her mark is creeping up but she is getting close to another win and needs to be considered.

Speedy filly who can lead; two 5f wins on good to firm as 2yo but she has run up to form on good to soft; creditable show when fifth of 17 at York last month but she will do well to win this off her current mark.

April-foaled 13,000euros yearling who's related to a couple of useful performers in One Chance (won second time out as a 2yo) and Monticello (won his first two as a 2yo); trainer far from noted for juveniles but she's worth monitoring in the market.

Returned from a 231-day break, making all to beat an odds-on favourite in a five-runner 5f fillies' maiden here three weeks ago; now rated 6lb higher on her first attempt over 6f (dam won over this trip); probable player in a race lacking strength in depth.

Immediate progress for the switch to nurseries (after being gelded) when winning at Leicester (5f) and Southwell (6f); the handicapper has attempted to thwart that momentum but he still ran solidly behind a well-handicapped rival at Chelmsford (7f; 11-2) latest; 2lb higher again and back in trip.

Yet to kick on from her Wolverhampton third last September (5f) but she wasn't able to show what she could do at Nottingham on her recent return, having nowhere to go as the race was unfolding; steps up to 6f and remains capable of better.
