Selected odds by:
Gained sole win in Kempton maiden over this trip a year ago, since been running well enough without winning before leaving Ralph Beckett. New yard are in good form, first time blinkers on for Irish debut.
Has struggled in two runs back from a year on the sidelines, latest over 5f here three weeks ago. Stepped up in trip, is clearly capable of much better but has to prove it currently.
Filly was beaten just over 5L when last spotted over 7f here in September, needs a bit more on return to the track but cannot be written off.
Holding his form nicely since course win in December, not beaten far in fourth three weeks ago and should give his running once more amongst these rivals over shorter trip.
Has gone well in low-grade AW contest at Wolverhampton in the past, bit disappointing at Windsor when last spotted in October, since switched to this yard and has some chance on form if ready to roll.
5lb higher than when scoring over C&D early last month, since been a bit disappointing in two runs over longer trip but drop back ought to suit here and may do better.
On the pick of AW form he'd be thrown in on current ratings, first outing in this sphere since June 2015 and anywhere since last June when well held in mile handicap at Limerick. Bit to prove all things considered.
In super form around here of late, gaining narrow success over this trip two weeks ago. Up 5lb for head success against Red All Star, has the ability to defy the hike.
Held behind Strategic Heights and Red All Star over C&D last time, better at the weights now but yet to truly suggest he is ready to gain breakthrough success.
Filly ran some promising races last year, comes here off a break and could well be more to come if she's strengthened up as a 3yo.
Five-time course winner, went close over C&D a fortnight ago and since run credible race over 7f, should be competitive again.
Collared on the line by Strategic Heights over C&D a fortnight ago, should be closely matched with that rival once more and entitled to go well in first time blinkers.
Ex-Mark Johnson runner had modest enough form in Britain and failed to beat a rival home over 7f on debut for new trainer two weeks ago. Raced freely on that occasion and, while having plenty to prove, can do better if settling.

Lily's Prince (4/1), Rosenborg Rider (5/1), Guanabara Bay (11/2), Your Pal Tal (6/1), Rapid Applause (7/1), Strategic Heights (8/1), Red All Star (9/1), Haqeeba (10/1), Brave Display (12/1), Madam Bounska (20/1), Chicago School (25/1), Red Aggressor (25/1), Caitie (25/1), Accladora (66/1)
Brave Display showed improved form here last time out and would be a significant player if able to dictate matters with his weight allowance but, from a wide draw, the lead may be hard to attain now. Strategic Heights and Red All Star look closely matched on their one-two over C&D last time and both should be involved but the consistent recent form of LILY'S PRINCE might see a winning reward now. He's run well in a succession of races here this year and should find this drop in trip no issue. Guanabara Bay should also find the 6f in his favour, having won over the trip in January and he should run well while ex-Ralph Beckett inmate Rosenborg Rider could be worth noting in blinkers on his first appearance at this venue.
