Well held in sole 2yo run but she's finished runner-up in three starts this spring and was only narrowly denied when odds-on at Wolverhampton (1m4f) three weeks ago; had steering issues (hanging right) in that race but she kept on well and pulled a long way clear of the third; sets the standard on that form and her RPRs have been progressive.

Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached.

Ex-Gosden maiden who's shown enough this spring to suggest he's on a competitive mark now; still to finish placed after nine runs, often at short prices, but no surprise to see him pop up; look for some support this time.

Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward.

Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal.

Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race.
