Narrow AW winner in January has struggled since and been unplaced in all nine career turf races. Last two efforts very poor so only hope is that the first-time cheekpieces are the answer.
7f winner last term has looked worth a crack at longer trips on a couple of occasions although his latest run when tailed-off last at Salisbury over 7f does little to inspire confidence.
Ran a couple of decent races reverting to 1m before below that level latest. Previous efforts over further not conclusive as to whether he stays so gets another go and one of the more likely sorts with a first-time visor.
Tried to make all in first-time seller at Brighton latest over 1m4f eventually finishing a close third. This trip should suit and hopes higher now at same level although bit to do at the weights.
Maiden has run pretty well in last two turf starts although he flopped on AW in between. Last of four at Chepstow latest but not beaten far and that class four event was far stronger than this. Leading contender.
Fair efforts in two starts in the French provinces over 1m4½f and 1m5f finishing midfield in each. Likely bought with hurdles in mind but found a really weak spot for stable debut and surely capable of going close.
Class six winner on heavy ground at Salisbury has failed to build on that since and she has run well below scratch the last twice with no obvious excuses. Best form would give her a squeak but not shown it for some time.

Phoenician Star (1/1), Barnay (4/1), Demurrer (4/1), Can Can Sixty Two (11/2), Font Vert (9/1), Groundnut (14/1), Twenty Twenty (14/1), Karakoram (22/1)
This will take very little winning so it may be worth taking a chance on TWENTY TWENTY whose form in the French provinces is hard to evaluate but Gary Moore's charge showed some ability in both races and he has been known to improve moderate looking French imports before. The most solid form probably belongs to Phoenician Star who would give these weight in a handicap. Demurrer has good form but nagging doubts remain stamina-wise.
