Unraced on the flat since 2011 and well beaten over hurdles and fences at Fontwell the last twice. Can only be watched at present.

6/1
Placed off 3lb lower mark over 1m4f here in april last year. Has had just one Flat outing since and been disappointing in the main over hurdles since moving to this yard including when pulled up at Leicester last month. Represents a leading trainer/jockey combination (17% strike rate in recent years) but likely best watched unless attracting support.

Unplaced on all nine starts so far but shaped as if this extra furlong would suit at Kempton last month. Jockey booking is a positive and interesting to see how she fares in this.

Still a maiden after 15 career outings, runner-up over two miles here last month with that being his best performance of late. Drops back in trip for this.

Sole victory came over hurdles at Fakenham in 2015 and Flat career now numbers 28 starts without success. Ran his usual race when fifth at Kempton last week but likely to find a few too good once more here.

Tried over hurdles following her second to Stand Guard at Kempton in december. Return to the Flat resulted in him being sent off favourite but she proved a disappointment. Has a leading jockey in the saddle here.

Ran better than is usually the case when seventh at Wolverhampton a month ago but has been well beaten over hurdles and on the flat in recent seasons and this just his third Flat outing since autumn 2014.

Maiden after 25 rules outings including 18 on the Flat. Well beaten when finishing last at Wolverhampton in december and hopes seem to lie with a marked step up in trip (placed over 1m6f off 29lb higher mark on turf in 2014) working the oracle.

3/1
Winner of his penultimate outing over 1m4f at Kempton in april 2015, absent for over 18 months prior to finishing last over two miles at the same track in november and now into his teens he's best watched at present.

Successful five times in his career but last victory came back in june 2013. Finished fourth over 1m2f on his return from a 14 month absence but failed to build on that at Southwell next time and likely best watched here.

Well beaten in three flat maidens at up to a mile last spring and similar results over hurdles of late. Probably best watched on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Le Tissier (9/4), Giant Sequoia (3/1), Willyegolassiego (5/1), Sudden Wish (6/1), Graceful Lady (8/1), Kilim (8/1), Galuppi (16/1), Tenhoo (16/1), Sweeping Rock (20/1), New Tarabela (33/1), Blake Dean (50/1)

Verdict

GRACEFUL LADY can be given another chance here following a disappointing effort last time out. The filly has yet to passe the winning post in front but her second on her penultimate Flat outing reads well with the winner scoring since and she can get the better of Le Tissier who takes a drop in trip here having shown he was returning to form over two miles here last time out. Sudden Wish is taken to put a poor run over hurdles last month behind her by rounding out the placings under a jockey who does well at this venue. 1. Graceful Lady 2. Le Tissier 3. Sudden Wish
