Comment: All turf wins on good/firmer; not in top form this year but has slipped in the weights and looks quite interesting off an attractive mark back at Doncaster, being the only C&D scorer in this field.

Comment: Quiet on AW over the winter but that didn't do his mark any harm; in better form back on turf, winning at Musselburgh in April (5f, good) and finishing fifth in a strong York handicap last month (blinkered first time); one of a number of front-runners in the field.

Comment: Didn't live up to market expectations on Southwell debut in October, but she left that form behind when scoring on her Kempton reappearance (7f, AW) last month; this is tougher under a penalty but she beat 13 rivals last time and looks a useful prospect.

Comment: £170,000 yearling who is a brother to some smart winners; made promising start when third at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month and he built on that when beating five rivals at Catterick (7f, good); has penalty in this deeper race but he knuckled down well last time and is open to more progress.

Comment: Finished last of ten on her Kempton debut in October but she looked a different proposition when runner-up at Southwell (7f, AW) on her return in April; that was eyecatching form off the pace and she's in the mix on this switch to turf.

8/1

Comment: Four wins for David O'Meara last year, with one over C&D (good to firm) and the other three at 2m; never involved on stable debut at York last month but that was over 1m4f and she's now only 1lb higher than for last win; could be dangerous back up in trip but any rain would be a concern.

12/1

Comment: Won two novice events (1m2f) as a 2yo but he's 0-10 in handicaps and has been well held in his three runs this season; mark continues to fall but he has plenty to prove at this new trip.
