A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break.

Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed.

Form & Verdict
Snapped a long losing run at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) but that had been coming and he was well on top in the finish; back up 5lb but has shown he can deal with this mark.

Consistent spell on Tapeta over the winter and continued the good work back on turf when close second of six at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he's never won above a mark of 75, though.

C&D win last summer came off 18lb lower and he returns to turf 10lb higher than when last running on grass, thanks to a consistent spell on Tapeta; will need something close to a career-best to take this and he's not improving at his age.

J: Callum Rodriguez

Track regular who doubled his tally over C&D when scoring in January and ran respectably in two subsequent starts in this higher grade; sometimes needs luck in the run but he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Multiple sprint wins last year for Darryll Holland; quiet in three runs this year for Lemos De Souza and, although better on his first run for this yard at Newmarket, that was still beneath his peak level; mixed messages as to whether the return of headgear is a good thing.

The only filly in this field; no wins in ten but has run some fair races in sprint handicaps and has dropped to a career-low mark after perhaps failing to handle Brighton last time; considered.

Form & Verdict
Can be free but settled better under a prominent ride over 7f here last month and won cosily; has a 5lb rise to deal with but might be okay back at 6f, as he was far from the finished article when trying this trip last year.

Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back.

Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims.

Had 15 races; second career win when prevailing narrowly over C&D in September and following efforts weren't too shoddy; still on a competitive mark but he does lack a recent run.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden who finished runner-up four times when with Ralph Beckett; has yet to recapture his best form for current yard but the ground was soft on his first run (6f) and 1m looked too far 15 days ago; dangerous to rule out with a visor tried.
