Took advantage of a falling handicap mark to prevail on the nod last time out in November over course and distance; 5lb higher here and should go well though vulnerable to some less exposed types.
Handicap debut; has managed to generally finish in the top half of finishers in all her starts but lacked any strength in the finish in all three outings; may fair better in handicaps but probably best watched at present.
Showed a good level of consistency on her first three non-handicap starts; not disgraced on debut in this sphere at Lingfield in March and certainly one to consider with trainer in good form at present.
Appeared to get worse for each run with last effort at this track over slightly further his most disappointing; could do better in handicaps and too soon to write off but difficult to make strong case for.
Has shown a degree of ability on most of her racecourse starts without ever threatening to win; has drifted down the handicap and perhaps this might be her trip (arguably failed to stay a mile last time); first-time headgear may help.
Sent off big prices all four starts to date, showing little; handicaps at least offers her something more realistic but at this stage, not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.
Has shown some ability and has been well backed on occasion; does not look the easiest ride and headgear applied for the first time here; needs to bounce back from poor run last time at Kempton.
Has finished in the money on here last three starts with latest effort coming at Leicester in September; if she has improved over the winter then she looks to be on a reasonable mark at present though is not the strongest in a finish.
Caused a 20/1 upset when winning over course and distance in February by ¾L after a series of poor efforts; fair effort next time at Newcastle and decent chance here if running up to his best.
Didn't finish ahead of an opponent until his third start as a juvenile, and was well beaten on his nursery debut here when last seen in November; hard to see him winning based on all known form.
Does not stand out as the likely winner on all known form; declared yesterday at Yarmouth.

RUSALKA makes her AW debut here but if she is able to pick up where she left off on turf then she has an excellent chance of finally getting her head in front. The filly has finished in the places on her last three runs and this looks a decent opportunity for this daughter of Ivawood. Anna Maria is another filly who was consistent last season. With experience of this surface in the locker and her trainer being in good form then she could run a big race. Inductive won over course and distance in February and should run his race though may have to settle for minor honours.
