Runner-up at Chepstow on two occasions last year but he's still a maiden after 28 starts; fifth over C&D on his first start for 201 days and needs to take a step forward from that.
Six race maiden; well held in two handicaps for his previous stable but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on his first start for this yard 23 days ago; may come on from that first start for 168 days.
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.
Doubled her tally on turf when winning over C&D this month and she was unfortunate not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) having been denied a clear passage 12 days ago; returns here with claims.
2lb lower than when winning over this C&D last May and took a step back in the right direction, following some lesser efforts, when fourth of 13 here 24 days ago; needs to build on that but he's a contender if doing so.
Has won just once from 50 outings and that win came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m2f) on his debut for this yard in February, but he as posted some solid placed efforts, including when third behind Scenario over this C&D two starts ago; each-way chance.
11-race maiden but he was beaten only 2l at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January and again there over 7f in February (classified events); his latest effort is worth forgiving (wide trip) but he has struggled in four starts on turf.
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that.
Poor maiden and she was last of seven in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 43 days ago; cheekpieces are now tried.
Unplaced in all ten starts and she was beaten 43l when last of nine at Lingfield three months ago; off since.
