Best form has come on turf but ran well to finish third over C&D last time out. Had finished well beaten over hurdles prior to that and worth a check in the market in this contest.

Winning for the first time since joining this stable when victorious over 1m at Southwell last time out. Raised 3lb for that victory and and has run well over C&D in the past.

Put a disappointing effort over C&D behind him when winning over an extended 1m here last month. Races off a 3lb higher mark today and interesting to see how he fares in this contest.

Improving with racing since joining this yard in the autumn and ran well to finish third over 7f at Lingfield recently. Two previous starts came over this C&D and wears a tongue tie for the first time today.

Finished fourth in competitive contests the last twice including over an extended 1m here a month ago. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and steps up in trip as she goes in search of her first victory today.

Promising effort when finishing fifth over C&D on debut for this stable a month ago. Has won over this trip in the past and is worth a check in the market today.

12 race maiden and drop in trip failed to bring about an improvement in form when tenth over an extended 1m here last time out. More needed today.

Well held in three starts in maiden company including over C&D on his debut two months ago. Market support would be interesting with blinkers applied for today's handicap debut.

Held in recent starts but has placed off much higher marks in the past. Others have a more obvious chance today however.

SHEER INTENSITY should be suited by the way this race is run and she can register her first victory on this surface having ran well to finish runner-up here last time. The selection races off a 1lb lower mark than for her only previous success and can take this at the chief expense of Weardiditallgorong who ran well to finish third here last time out while Sunishineandbubbles, a last time out winner can finish third having performed well at this venue before.
