Beaten 1½L over this trip at Salisbury eight days ago having gone off favourite, makes Tapeta debut here with cheekpieces on for the first time.
Cost £30,000 as a yearling and showed promise when third on debut at Leicester; also eye-catching that he made the frame on a couple of subsequent occasions on the AW here but was a highly disappointing favourite on his last start for Ed McMahon and may be best watched on his first start since December making debut for a new yard.
Lost race in the steward's room last time at Salisbury having also won two starts earlier on the AW at Chelmsford. Clearly in good form and shouldn't be far away if taking to the Tapeta surface.
Excellent run at Ripon over this trip four days ago, beaten under a length. Yard are in good form and has claims here though yet to produce best stuff on the AW in two previous attempts.
Cost £48,000 as a two-year-old a racked up a double at Southwell and Newcastle earlier this year. Returns from a break now and could remain well treated with first-time cheekpieces also being added.
C&D winner in April when fresh, didn't back that up earlier this month when stepped up to 6f here but can be given chance again back over the minimum trip.
Maiden is lightly-raced and has been there or thereabouts in previous two turf outings over this trip on firm ground. First run on the AW but should be in the mix if handling the surface, which seems plausible.

Mr Skinnylegs (11/4), Super Julius (3/1), Wild Approach (4/1), Red Alert (9/2), Lawless Louis (6/1), Blue Rocks (12/1), Angel Palanas (12/1), The Daley Express (22/1)
RED ALERT lost a Salisbury contest over this trip in the steward's room last time out having battled gamely to pass the post in first spot. This is his first attempt on the Tapeta but there is no reason to believe he won't handle the surface having already won at Chelmsford and compensation may await now. Mr Skinnylegs is starting on an artificial surface for the first time and has been knocking on the door lately so it won't come as any surprise to see him shed the maiden tag sooner rather than later. Wild Approach was in good form early in the year, twice winning, and should again go well coming off a break while Blue Rocks is likely better suited back over this trip and looks set to be competitive.
