Selected odds by:
Yet to win on turf, and although he has the ability to get involved, he has hung under pressure when making headway on his last two starts, and probably isn't one to trust in a battle.
Maiden after ten starts, and is unraced on ground quicker than good. Below form on both starts this season, although possibly working his way to full fitness. Clear chance at the weights, although would probably welcome rain.
Not disgraced when fifth at Beverley on Sunday, but that came off a lowly mark in a weak handicap, and his yard is 0-188 in the past couple of seasons, which hardly inspires confidence.
Placed at Southwell in December of a much higher mark, but still beaten by 10L, and he's gone badly the wrong way since. Upped markedly in trip in a first-time visor now, but hard to fancy nonetheless.
Hails from the same stable as Amity Island and Smashing Lass. Well held in a couple of maidens, but still some hope that he will improve, unlike a few of his rivals, so worth a precautionary market check.
Redcar maiden winner on debut. Pulled hard and well held in cheekpieces last time, but he is the clear pick of these on form, and with the headgear dispensed with for this marked drop in class, it will be disappointing if he can't go very close.
Beaten a long way when last to finish on debut, and repeated that feat last time,. so hard to get excited by her chances despite the fitting of cheekpieces here.
Largely regressive form in handicaps this year, although got back to form from her much-reduced mark when running on late for second in a 1m handicap at Thirsk last time. Minor place claims if she can back that up, but possibly flattered.
Struggling to make a breakthrough, but is pretty consistent, and would be giving weight to many of these in a handicap, so ought to be thereabouts with cheekpieces added to usual hood.

Forecasts
Knightly Spirit (7/4), Ride The Monkey (3/1), Tails I Win (7/2), Smashing Lass (15/2), Amity Island (11/1), Prince Consort (20/1), Phenakite (25/1), Dothraki (66/1), Graciarose (100/1)
RIDE THE MONKEY had excuses when beaten off a mark of 74 last time, and faced with a bunch of low-grade rivals on this first dip into selling class, he ought to get back to winning ways. Chief threat is the consistent Tails I Win, although a case can also be made for Knightly Spirit, especially if rain arrives.
