Comment: Progressive at a low level since handicapping, runner-up three times before making her breakthrough at Yarmouth last month (5f, good to firm); only third at Wolverhampton under a penalty one week later; could yet do better back on turf.

Comment: Did well on AW around 2m over the winter, finishing first post the post on four occasions, but he's lost his zip of late and there's a suspicion his handicap mark may have his measure; bred for turf but he was soundly beaten in both runs on it last term (1m2f on softer than good).

13/2

Comment: Regressive maiden who's found her level now, shaping nicely in a race that didn't pan out her way on comeback 17 days ago; this longer trip is far from certain to suit on pedigree (dam was a sprinter who's produced a winning sprinter) but has claims if stamina holds.

11/1

Comment: Often pulled hard when with Charlie Johnston, from whom she was picked up for 20,000gns, and has repeated the dose in two runs for this yard, including without the hood back at 1m latest; that would be a concern in a small field going up in distance.

Comment: Took a while for the penny to drop when winning at 2-5 on AW (1m) last autumn but that was still promising; easy to back on his Newmarket comeback (Listed), when eased off in the closing stages and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market this time.

Comment: Stamina carried the day when beating an odds-on favourite on his 1m Tapeta debut in January; improved a good deal when coming away under a penalty with the three market leaders at Newmarket since and sets the standard in a first-time tongue-tie.

Comment: Gelded 70,000gns yearling who's a half-brother to six winners, notably Meliora (Listed, 1m2f) and Monadee (2yo 6f, Polytrack); has been found a decent-looking novice for his debut.

Comment: Solid comeback at Redcar a month ago but didn't look to see it out on his first run at beyond 7f last time; stamina would have to be the concern under a big weight.

Comment: Winless in almost two years but well handicapped now and he showed much more in a second-time visor (off here) over 7f at Doncaster last time; typically pulled hard in front that day, also for Rhys Elliott, but tonight's longer trip will be fine if more amenable.
