10/3

Comment: 5-8 on the AW since October and bids for a four-timer off a 3lb higher mark than last time; has won over 1m here and although that may be his optimum trip, he still has to be a serious contender in his current mood.

Comment: Lightly raced maiden who showed ability in his four starts last year, including on the AW; returns from 164 days off having been gelded and is well worth monitoring in the market.

Comment: Record over C&D since last August reads 131215 and he looked unfortunate not to finish closer last month; still 4lb above his last winning mark but still high on the list under these suitable conditions.

Comment: Dual C&D winner (off 2lb higher) who has gone down narrowly back here the last twice; another big run seems likely under Oisin Murphy, whose record aboard him reads 211012; first-time blinkers replace the usual visor.

Comment: Returned to winning form at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in February but disappointed in the Fillies' And Mares' Championship at Newcastle nine days ago; placed in all four visits here, but still 4lb higher than for the Lingfield win and will need to bounce back quickly.

Comment: 1lb higher than for the latest of two wins over 6f on turf/Polytrack this time last year; made an encouraging return from 162 days off when third of eight (How Impressive second) over C&D this month (has won fresh); drawn wide but still shortlisted if building on that.

Comment: Runner-up in his last three starts, having dropped in the weights, and went down by a short head over C&D in February; up another 1lb, but should go well again following a short break.

Comment: Made a promising stable debut when third of eight over C&D last month and is now 3lb lower, but he didn't back it up at Wolverhampton next time and is 0-15 in Britain; others look more solid.

Comment: All five wins over 7f on turf, three of them last year; ran well when fourth of 12 at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago on his return from six months off, but he ran poorly in his one AW start (at Newcastle) which poses a question.

Jockey: Callum Shepherd Trainer: D M Simcock Age/Wt: 6/9-5 F: 0-4149 OR: 76

25/1

Comment: Three of his four wins have come over C&D but a rise in the weights for his narrow success in February seems to have held him back the last twice, albeit with 1m maybe too far last time; others may be better treated.
