Performed well on second start for this yard finishing second and sticking to his task well. Just one placed effort from four AW starts in career though and gives the impression he wants further than this but can't be ruled out if they go a good enough gallop. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Still a maiden but handicap debut was promising two starts back. Couldn't get involved at Wolverhampton last time though and while it's still early days, others are preferred.

Much improved beaten favourite last time out but lost to a progressive type in Babouska. Could well go one better here and extra distance is a positive.

Steps up in trip on handicap debut and yard have been in form of late. Unplaced on all three starts but this race likely to reveal more with regards to her ability.

Unplaced on all four starts to date including handicap debut last time. Jockey booking and step up in trip are both obvious positives but not one to be too bullish about.

Good second on handicap debut last time and the winner has won again since. Only up 2 lb for that effort so she has leading claims here.

Nothing to write home about in three starts last year. Assessor has give him some sort of chance with a low opening handicap mark but probably best watched.

Still a maiden after nine starts but sign he's been getting his act together of late. Best performances have come when given an easy lead and that scenario looks unlikely from this draw.

Not beaten many home in four starts to date; likely to need more time and possibly a step up in trip before showing her true potential.

Unplaced on all four starts to date and didn't show much on handicap debut when last seen. Has raced with quirks in the past so the application of a hood looks a wise move, others preferred though.

Yet to place in four starts for this yard and only showed minor improvement on handicap debut last time. Plenty more needed here for a trainer jockey combination that have just one win to their name from 36 attempts.

Makes handicap debut but virtually tailed off on first three starts and shown no ability yet. Step up in trip likely to help but hard to imagine her getting involved here.

Forecasts

Serenade The Stars (11/10), Aventus (7/1), Whatelseaboutyou (7/1), Lulu The Rocket (8/1), La Vie En Rose (10/1), Av A Word (10/1), Master Billie (12/1), Areyoutheway (16/1), Lady Rowena (40/1), Forest Steps (40/1), Ablaze (50/1), Shaqoos (100/1)

Verdict

Lulu The Rocket and SERENADE THE STARS both have close form lines with Babouska and it's the latter that may be slightly better handicapped. He looked an unlucky loser last time and stayed on well so this extra distance should suit. The former showed much improved form on handicap debut but has a tougher ask from a wide draw. The application of first time blinkers needs to bring plenty of improvement to Areyoutheway but he may be able to get involved he takes a step forward. 1. Serenade The Stars 2. Lulu The Rocket 3. Areyoutheway
