Selected odds by:
Handicap newcomer (stable in good form), off the mark showing improved form on turf debut last time (settled better than before) at Pontefract (1m, good). Made all, quickened clear, race not a deep one, not overburdened off this opening mark.
One of six handicap newcomers; failed under a penalty on return for her 2yo Catterick win stepped up to 1m at Chelmsford (made effort too early). Now reverts to turf kept to 1m but off a mark that looks one that will be a test against some improvers.
Not really backed up a promising first effort as yet, well below form when last seen in January at Chelmsford over 1m. Now gelded, switches to turf for the first-time on his handicap debut, ought to improve but hardly looks thrown in off this mark.
Kept to 7f in three races as a 2yo he's so far failed to show his best, a breathing procedure may solve that problem. Now trying a handicap for the first time, suspicion that there could be more to come back on turf over 1m; note a market move.
Below-par in two handicap starts so far either side of the lockdown for racing, looked far from his best when back to this trip on the AW last time. Not best placed on that occasion (has work to do with Glitter Queen), can be slow away.
One of four in this who ran at Lingfield (1m, standard) last time, this one was well backed. Showed a little more ability making handicap debut (looked inexperienced, slow away), entitled to do better off a 1lb lower mark, first time on turf.
Looks to have been brought along with this discipline in mind having been given three relatively quick runs last autumn over 7f on turf/AW. Hardly thrown in off this mark, progress ought to be expected up slightly in trip on handicap debut.
Hardly short on experience having had nine 2yo starts winning an Epsom maiden over 7f (good opportunity). Not knocked around on first start for this yard (never landed a blow) over 1m2f at Lingfield, return to 1m not sure to suit (bred for further).
Failed to improve on debut for this yard having previously been with Ralph Beckett having his first try on AW. Left poorly placed he was never really a threat finishing behind three of today's rivals; previous form leaves him something to find.
Off the mark when having her fourth handicap start back at 7f kept to the AW showing improved form at Chelmsford but winning with little to spare off 4lb lower mark. Made all, won't find it as easy to pull off those tactics here back to 1m on turf.
Looks the type to do better in handicaps catching the eye soon after racing resumed at Newcastle (1m, slow) despite finishing down the field. Handled very tenderly on that occasion, rewarded with a fair mark, open to progress, one to note.
Gave some hope for the future on handicap/stable debut at Chelmsford (7f, slow) despite being easy to back, made some late headway, finished well. Worth a try at this trip off the same mark but does meet some more progressive rivals.

Forecasts
Returnofthemac (5/2), Exotic Escape (4/1), Nat Love (7/1), Key Look (7/1), Glitter Queen (7/1), Queen Of Silca (9/1), Goodwood Rebel (10/1), Night Voyager (12/1), Bound For Heaven (16/1), Martin's Brig (20/1), Reclaim Victory (20/1), Game Over (33/1), Tough Character (66/1), Top Flight Cool (100/1)
A typical 3yo handicap where quite a few are expected to improve for the step into handicaps with a sextet making their debut in this sphere. Returnofthemac is sure to be of interest having made all to win at Pontefract and looking a sound prospect off a decent opening mark. Glitter Queen did the best of the four that ran in a Lingfield handicap last time and she’s expected to confirm the form with the other three. Game Over ought to be worth noting in the market he looks very unexposed so far but its TOUGH CHARACTER who interests most despite some rather uninspiring form figures. Not far behind Returnofthemac at Newcastle he may have got in off a good mark here for his handicap debut.
