Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; came back to form when returned to 6f with third of 14 at Windsor (good to firm) on Saturday; same mark (due to go up 2lb) and this is less competitive.

Enjoyed a fine spell on AW during the winter, winning four consecutive handicaps at 6f across January and February; good effort when second in Class 2 at Lingfield (AW; 50-1) on his next start at that trip but hasn't been at his best over shorter in two turf handicaps this spring; still not totally ruled out back at 6f.

Often front-runner and won four times on the AW over 6f this winter; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield on Good Friday before weakening into sixth, but he was well beaten at Bath (5.5f, good) 26 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Went very close off 1lb lower mark on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (6f) and was not discredited when third in Wolverhampton novice a fortnight ago; also suited by Polytrack and probably won't be far away.

Gradually getting closer to winning, beaten half a length on her Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) in January and by just a short head in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be bang there again.

Showed minor ability in one of her three qualifying runs; best effort came on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), when the winner went by late on; drop back to this trip looks worth another go; not ruled out.

0-8 but involved in close finishes over 7f and 6f (AW) in February and only just failed to get up at Lingfield (5f) in March; no serious impact at Southwell since but ran as though still in form and not ruled out if able to transfer his sand form back to turf (first run on grass since debut).

Consistent; ran best race last time when only just failing to reel in the winner at Lingfield (5f; in this newly applied equipment); no issue with this extra furlong and the form of that race was given a boost when the fourth won at Bath; possible.

Got off the mark on the last of her six starts for William Haggas, winning a Newcastle handicap comfortably 11 days ago (6f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers); changed hands for 15,000gns since then and has risen 8lb; will need another step up to defy that.

Made all to win Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in February but his subsequent handicap form doesn't bare similar inspection, including when beating one home at Newmarket (6f, good) a fortnight ago; falling mark the straw to clutch at.
