Form & Verdict
Three-time course winner who hasn't had much luck here the past twice, hitting traffic over 6f before being unsuited by the way the race panned out latest; Ryan Kavanagh has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company and she's shortlisted.

Six-time winner, with five of those wins coming on turf; ran well when second of 11 here on the AW in December and switches to turf on her first start since; seems unsuited by ground softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Last season's two victories came over 1m but he's still effective over this trip (previous C&D winner); offered little back from a few months off recently, though, and others have more pressing claims.

Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade.

Form & Verdict
Consistent but expensive to follow since two wins late last year; this easier, now eligible for 0-50 company once more, but he'll need to improve on three previous turf efforts back from six weeks off.

Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere.

Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further.

J: Luke Morris

Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of chances for Eve Johnson Houghton in sprints last year and has struggled badly in three runs for this yard, having been picked up for just 1,000gns; this is easier but he can't be recommended.

5 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who finished a clear second, behind an improver, on his return to turf last week; often races keenly and the drop to 7f shouldn't hurt but he's tended to steer clear of fast turf in the past and some rain would have been ideal.

Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track (6f/1m), with the most recent coming in October; below his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) last time but that was his first start for 75 days and he may come on for it; can be competitive back to 7f.

Form & Verdict
Dual course winner from the front, latterly over 1m2f last August; back in form on his return to turf three weeks ago (1m) but he may not be able to dictate today and at least another furlong would have been optimal under these conditions.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer.

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.
