Selected odds by:
Progressive when winning four from seven starts last year and has gone close off this mark previously. Suited by a return to quick conditions and could go well.
Won over this C&D back in 2015 and now 1lb lower than last winning mark. In decent form on the AW and should be competitive.
Back on last winning mark and capable of going well fresh, however form tailed off badly late last season and will need to bounce back.
Returns on last winning mark and has conditions to suit. Has strong form fresh in the past and stable in good form. Everything looks primed for a big run.
Infrequent winner nowadays but on a workable mark and won't be unsuited by the drop back in trip following a decent reappearance. Can be competitive.
Sold out of Chris Dwyer's stable for 12,000gns after a decent run of form late last year. Starts stable and season debut on quite a high mark and others likely better handicapped.
Returned in form on the AW with a fourth and a win at Lingfield. 4lb rise makes life tougher but not out of it if able to transfer form to turf.
Enjoyed a decent run of form on the AW including two selling wins this year. Found this grade tougher last start and others preferred.
May be ideally suited by a furlong further but well handicapped at 7lb below last win and gets a welcome drop in grade following his reappearance.
Sole win came over 7f here last year but very disappointing on her reappearance over a mile. Questionable whether this trip and quicker ground will suit.
Seems to handle any conditions but following a Ffos Las win in September he struggled next time off a revised mark. Just down 1lb for reappearance and may find things tough again.
Former AW winner for Richard Hannon has a bit to prove after never getting involved on stable debut. First try at a sprinting distance.
Up 3lb for winning return at Windsor but remains on a competitive enough mark. Can be involved again however wouldn't be suited by quicker conditions.
Infrequent winner but on a good mark at present following a nice reappearance. Can be competitive but high draw to overcome.
Remains a 10-race maiden despite a few near misses. Race fit now after three runs back but probably needs a bit of help from the handicapper to break his duck.
Goes in these conditions and on an attractive mark at present. However needs to find extra from his last three runs and others look more reliable.
Conditions are fine but seemed to have lost his way at the beginning of the year and has tended to need the run when returning in the past.

Sir Roderic (6/1), The Groove (7/1), Met By Moonlight (7/1), Crystal Casque (15/2), John Betjeman (8/1), Little Palaver (10/1), Spring Romance (12/1), Bounty Pursuit (12/1), Field of Vision (16/1), Harry Beau (16/1), Goldino Bello (16/1), Cent Flying (20/1), Red Tycoon (20/1), Incentive (20/1), Pastfact (25/1), Air Of York (66/1), The Lacemaker (66/1), Black Medick (66/1)
A big field and a wide open handicap where BOUNTY PURSUIT, who is well drawn and has strong form fresh, gets a narrow verdict. Spring Romance is still open to further progress in conditions that will suit better while the in-form Little Palaver rates a danger.
