Hector Crouch Michael Bell
1-1 Draw 3 OR 82 RPR 0 TS 0 +164.7% EV +27.2% Edge Data 64%

Overcame a wide stall when springing 28-1 surprise at Kempton in September and kept unbeaten record when defying a penalty on his return at Southwell (also 1m, AW) five weeks ago; will likely be going up in trip soon enough but brings plenty of potential to this turf/handicap debut.

489-1 Draw 6 OR 81 RPR 0 TS 0 +-38.7% EV +-9.3% Edge Data 64%

Gelded ahead of his AW debut when readily landing Lingfield maiden (7f) on last month's return; will probably need more on this switch back to turf/handicap debut but it's still early days and he warrants consideration.

Promise on first two starts (good to firm/soft) and she made all on AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in October; should do better at this trip and beyond (holds Oaks and Irish Oaks entries) this term; interesting on her reappearance and handicap debut.

Pierre-Louis Jamin Ollie Sangster
1307-9 Draw 1 OR 74 RPR 0 TS 0 +-31.5% EV +-2.3% Edge Data 64%

Busy as a juvenile when her nine runs yielded one win; that did come here (7f, good) in August but was quiet on last two starts and virtually tailed off on last month's AW comeback; return to this venue might help, and a handicapping case can be made, but otherwise has plenty to prove.

Sean Levey Richard Hannon
2716-6 Draw 2 OR 71 RPR 0 TS 0 +-73.5% EV +-7.7% Edge Data 73%

Off the mark on her eighth start as a juvenile when landing Nottingham nursery (good, made all) over this trip in October; not disgraced in Listed company next time but weakened over 1m2f (good to soft) on her reappearance one month ago; might do better back at this distance with the run behind her.

Hollie Doyle Denis Coakley
7-31 Draw 4 OR 70 RPR 0 TS 0 +83.0% EV +5.6% Edge Data 64%

All starts around 1m on AW; only made his debut in December but that was an eyecatching effort and he improved on third start to land Wolverhampton novice in January; potential to do better again on this turf/handicap debut.
