Form & Verdict
Longstanding, regressive maiden who started favourite on his first crack at 0-50 company when behind Battle Point over C&D last Tuesday; a slow start did for him there but he'd been running well enough in handicaps previously and is capable.

Hard to predict and was well held at Salisbury last time but he looks interesting on his third in a Newbury handicap (6f, good to firm) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was at this track.

Form & Verdict
Dual Tapeta winner who ran well in a race that didn't set up ideally over C&D in April; doubtful whether her recent near-miss in Jersey (5f) amounted to much but it confirmed her in decent form and this is her first run in a 0-50 classified race.

Form & Verdict
Nothing like as good since missing almost a year but has always enjoyed switchback tracks and made it 2-3 here (close second the other time) when making all over 7f last week; no guarantee he'll repeat the effort under a penalty but leading claims if he does.

A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW.
