Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted.

Both wins at Wolverhampton, the second one off current mark in October (9.5f); below form over middle distances since but gives the impression this return to shorter is worth a go; competitively weighted and may prove resurgent.

Ex-Irish 4yo who has form figures of 314 since joining new yard and racing in AW handicaps; dead-heated at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on Boxing Day and ties in with Brinton on his creditable effort at Chelmsford (1m) since; may still have more to offer in this sphere.

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy.

Won on turf in Ireland last summer and he has form figures of 3143231 on AW since joining his current yard; up another 4lb but he knuckled down well at Wolverhampton last time and he remains well handicapped on his best form; key player in his bid for a double.

Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark.

Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight.
