Form & Verdict
Impressive when winning 6f maiden at Ffos Las (good to soft) and although his handicap runs came to nothing in the end, a troubled run ended his hopes at Doncaster (6f, good) last September; gelded since; the market should show what's expected on his return.

Form & Verdict
Has found new reserves of late, gaining back-to-back wins over 6f (good to firm) and 7f (AW) before building up a head of steam to take a late third against the older fillies at Newmarket (6f) recently; might prefer a stiffer test than this sharp 6f but still hard to leave out.

Has won handicaps this year at 6f (good to firm) and 7f (AW); similar chance to Shallow on last month's Newmarket clash and the leaders never came back when third from off the pace at Chester latest (6f, good); each-way shout.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Charles Hills

Has been threatening to get off the mark since the autumn and things have fallen right for her of late, following a 6f win at Leicester (good to firm) with an impressive one on Lingfield AW (7f); strong traveller who shouldn't mind the return to 6f; still has potential.

Form & Verdict
Has acquitted himself well in all four starts, winning over 5f on Ripon debut as 2yo, but most significantly when keeping on well against smart sprinting rivals at York (6f, good) four weeks ago; in the thick of it at this easier level for yard that has won two of the last eight runnings.

His two 2yo starts yielded a win at Ripon (5f, good to firm) and close second at Pontefract (6f, good to soft), and he returned with a respectable third on handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good); in a hot contest today and improvement is necessary, but that can't be ruled out.

Led late when making a winning debut at Ripon last August (5f, good to firm); beaten at odds-on at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) the following month but that form looks solid; gelded afterwards; brings clear potential to this handicap debut.
