Sole win in 18 starts came over C&D but not in much form over hurdles when last seen at Chepstow. Ffos Las effort prior to that was better but Flat mark doesn't look particularly lenient and struggled off this kind of mark when last seen in this sphere in the summer.
Two wins from eight starts at this course and something of an AW specialist on his day but may be getting a little long in the tooth now. Hard to completely dismiss and does run well from time to time but best days are no doubt behind him.
Found a new lease of life for this yard better known for their jumpers. Usually travels well and 4lb rise isn't excessive. Promising claimer in the saddle who has won on him the last twice and should go well again provided the wider than ideal draw isn't too much of a hindrance.
Seven-time course winner but has turned into an inconsistent performer these days and not shown much zest on recent starts. Needs to prove he's not over the hill.
Both her wins came at Ayr last year but she's not looked as good on her AW starts and no certainty to stay this far. Yard do well with their runners here but she will need plenty more than what she's shown on her last three starts to get involved here.
Just about managed to get competitive when dropped into a seller last time. Jockey does well around here and handicap mark looks lenient but he'll need more back in a handicap.
Looks a better horse on turf than the AW and while he's ran okay here on occasions, he seems better over shorter distances.
Still a maiden after 11 starts and only placed once coming at Chelmsford over 10f having the run of the race. Likely to do better at some stage but awkward draw adds to his woes and their are more likely winners.
Still a maiden 13 starts but put in a career best when finishing second behind My Renaissance here last time. Despite an 11lb swing in the weights here, that rival appeared well on top that day and she looks unlikely to reverse the form.
Looks like a tricky customer to ride and remains a maiden after 20 starts. Been in particularly poor form recently and looks likely to struggle once again from the widest draw.
Forecasts
My Renaissance (7/4), Ralphy Lad (9/2), The Lock Master (7/1), Go On Gal (8/1), Horseguardsparade (8/1), Noguchi (9/1), Sennockian Song (10/1), Sattelac (16/1), Indulgent (100/1), Port Lairge (100/1)
MY RENAISSANCE bids for a hat-trick and a fourth win in five starts for the Sam England yard and he travels so well in his races it's hard to see why there won't be more to come. Go On Gal arrives on better terms than what she faced My Renaissance on last time they met and while she may struggle to reverse that form, she should remain competitive. The veteran Noguchi might have one or two more big performances in him and he's well-handicapped if he can get back to somewhere near the level he was running at in 2015.
1. My Renaissance
2. Go On Gal
3. Noguchi
