Made a successful handicap debut at Chepstow last time out and looks to be on the upgrade now she has proved her stamina holds out over 1m4f. Up 7lb here but open to further progress. One to bear in mind.
Won over 1m at Lingfield in January but has been well held since upped in trip afterwards. Which doesn't really bode well now she tackles an extra two furlongs. Others preferred.
Seemed inconvenienced by the drop in trip last time out (but still finished ahead of Oberyn), so will appreciate the return to 1m4f. Still has improvement to find, though.
Fair effort over 1m4f last time, so feasible there is more to come. Needs to improve for the switch back to racing on turf, so the betting will be helpful in assessing expectations of how he'll cope.
Getting the hang of things and seems to have inherited stamina from the dam side of his breeding. Yard does well here, so worth noting in the betting over this new trip. First-time headgear may also prompt a higher finishing position.
Can make the running but has a question to answer regarding his stamina over 1m4f. Others preferred.
Not much to write home about from his three previous starts. But very possible those races where nowhere near enough of a test of stamina for this son of Medicean. Gelded since last seen out and the booking of Jamie Spencer suggests connections mean business. One to bear in mind.
Sent off at an SP of 100/1 in each of his three starts so far and has basically run accordingly. This is a significant step up in trip, however, and being a son of Derby winner Sir Percy, it's safe to assume he will find middle distances more to his liking. Possible he could make a mockery of his opening handicap mark.
Open to improvement over the trip but already has something to find with Magic Beans and may be best watched.
Only modest efforts to date and has a lot to prove at the moment. Visored last time but no impact, so best watched now the headgear is dispensed with.
Of limited ability and faded tamely on handicap debut last time (well held by the likes of Nobleman) and hard to fancy here.

Forecasts
Pow Wow (2/1), Mirzam (3/1), Magic Beans (6/1), Noble Behest (8/1), Percy Thrower (10/1), Russian Regard (11/1), Nobleman (14/1), Conkering Hero (14/1), Charlie Rascal (16/1), Holyroman Princess (16/1), Light Gunner (25/1), Oberyn (25/1), Royal Sentiment (66/1)
A few of these are open to improvement now they are being faced with a sterner test of stamina. This scenario is expected to suit MAGIC BEANS , who appeals as one that may take 1m4f in his stride and move on to better things. Similar comments apply to Pow Wow and Noble Behest, who are both bred to appreciate middle distances. Support for Mirzam is also likely but she faces no easy task under topweight against those with the potential improve now resilience becomes more of an issue.
