Off the mark at the seventh attempt when winning over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out. Carries a 6lb penalty for that victory and is one for the shortlist on turf debut.
Beaten 3L when finishing third over 6f at Ffos Las (good) on debut last August. Disappointed in two subsequent starts however and blinkers tried on handicap and seasonal debut having been gelded since his latest start.
Good second over 7f on debut at Newmarket (good-to-soft) last August. Below that form in three subsequent starts most recently when fourth over 6f at Chelmsford in November. Leading contender on handicap debut.
Placed twice last July but well held in two starts since being gelded and probably best watched down in trip following a heavy defeat at Windsor (1m, good) last month.
Failed to trouble the judge in four starts at two most recently on handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good-to-soft) in October. Gelded since his latest appearance.

ADELANTE can defy a penalty to make a winning turf return in this three-year-old only handicap. The selection broke her maiden on the AW last time out and she is taken to follow-up here with Hello Bangkok capable of finishing runner-up on seasonal reappearance. Third place can go to Tanqeeb who wears blinkers for the first time in this contest.
