Had some fair form for Mark Johnston in sprint maidens back in 2016 but not seen since then and now makes her debut for a new yard. 7lb lower than when last seen in a handicap but sure to need the spin here.

Still no joy after 16 attempts to break his maiden and his last four AW starts have come on Fibresand with differing results. Now runs without any headgear again returned to the Tapeta (two previous maiden runs here); others appeal more.

Hard to confident with a career record of 1-37 to work with as she returns from a break having her fourth start for this yard. Prior to her break her form was poor although her second over C&D on her stable debut would give her a chance if repeated.

Course regular (16 runs) who has here twice (once over C&D); putting some creditable efforts of late over sprint trips here without winning. Now 2lb below his last winning mark and expected to be in the mix here.

Rather enigmatic character but is a five-time C&D winner although his losing run is starting to grow again; currently stands at 20. Finished a well beaten sixth last time out over C&D (Star Cracker second); fallen a long way in the weights.

Sent handicapping after three runs in turf maiden/novice events over sprint trips which have amounted to very little in form terms. Hard to imagine that she will be troubling the principals on what she's shown so far.

Given the fact that her career numbers are 1-73 on the Flat and she hasn't won since 2014 (a losing run of 42) her appeal here is very limited. Finished well beaten and last of 11 over C&D when last seen.

Not a race for the feint-hearted with solid records and sound recent runs at a premium. STAR CRACKER becomes the selection almost by default having put together some consistent efforts of late and is well used to this environment; off a good mark now. Windforpower won’t have many chances to break his long losing run but he has fallen a long way in the weights if he chooses to put his best foot forward. Guiding Star has a second over C&D to her name and a repeat of that would see her competitive in what is a weak heat.
