Winner of maiden auction event over 7f as a two-year-old in 2015 but yet to win since. Beaten 2L off a 1lb lower mark at Sandown (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing over 1m in August and makes his seasonal debut here.
Successful over 7f on the AW at Kempton in November 2015 but finished well beaten over this trip on good-to-firm ground at Ascot on his sole start in 2016. Probably best watched on his first run since being gelded.
Victorious in a good ground handicap off a 2lb lower mark at Haydock last September. Disappointed the last twice however but should strip fitter for his seasonal debut ninth at Redcar earlier this month.
Registered a second career success when scoring off a 6lb lower mark over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good) in September. Subsequently finished last of 18 at Newmarket the following month and has his first run since being gelded today.
Has recorded a total of seven victories in a 61 race career so far including off a 2lb lower mark over 7f here on good ground last June. Ran well over that same C&D when finishing a close fifth earlier this month and worth a check in the market here.
Eight times a winner in the past with last two successes coming in selling and claiming company. Well held in five outings since joining this yard last autumn and others make more appeal today.
Successful off a 3lb lower mark over 7f at Sandown (good) in August and made a winning return to action when scoring off the same mark on the AW at Newcastle earlier this month. Twice finished fourth over 1m in the past and an interesting runner for a yard in form (7/27).
Winner off a 2lb higher mark on good-to-soft ground at Haydock over this trip 11 months ago. Well beaten since including on seasonal debut at Redcar earlier this month and probably best watched here.
Both wins have come over 6f including on good-to-soft ground at Ayr last July. Beaten 4L over 7f at Carlisle on his penultimate outing last September and making his first start over 1m or further since he was a three-year-old.
Completed a double at Bath in spring last year and running well without winning thereafter. Made a good start to 2017 when beaten just a neck in a 13 runner contest over an extended 1m at Windsor (good) earlier this month and likely to run well again here.
Successful over 7f at Newcastle on the AW last October and experienced no luck in running when finishing seventh of 13 at the same track earlier this month. Returns to turf for the first time since September last year and one for the shortlist in this.
Successful over C&D on good-to-soft ground in June last year but best efforts since then have come when wearing blinkers and cheekpieces for the first time at Thirsk and Pontefract respectively. Failed to stay an extended 1m2f here on his seasonal debut and yard have a 29% strike-rate recently (8/28).
Beaten 2L when making his seasonal debut over 1m at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Well handicapped on his old form (won and placed off much higher marks in the past) but probably on the decline these days.
Winner of a maiden over 1m at Ayr (good-to-firm) in June last year but well beaten in the main since including on his seasonal debut at Redcar when finishing eighth earlier this month. Probably best watched today.
Won two of his four outings as a two-year-old but failed to add to that tally last season. Finished a good second having met trouble in running on his return to actionoff a 2lb lower mark over 1m at Pontefract (good) earlier this month. Likely to be involved in the finish today.
Well beaten in two starts since returning from a spell hurdling this winter. Handicap mark is falling as a result but probably best watched in this contest.
Not beaten far on his first outing of 2017 when fourth over 1m at Chelmsford last month. Has run well off much higher marks in the past but others make more appeal in this contest.

AMOOD experienced trouble in running when finishing seventh on the AW last time out and he can make a winning return to turf in this. the selection has won off a 1lb higher mark on turf in the past and can get the better of Marcano who finished runner-up on his seasonal debut while Desert Ruler who also finished runner-up on his seasonal debut earlier this month can claim third in what looks a competitive opener.
