The form of his latest start leaves a little to be desired but he is at least gaining in experience and has a fitness edge over a few of the rest. An interesting contender at his local track - topweight not such an issue in this company either.
Not seen since finishing last on his handicap debut last July but still has scope to improve and may be better than the bare form suggests and is one to bear in mind if supported in the betting.
Won from a mark of just 55 at Kempton on his penultimate start and was unlucky not to add to his tally from a 5lb higher rating at Newcastle last month. Runs off the same mark today, so does have a little to prove. But he is versatile regarding the ground preference and may still have a little room to manoeuvre from his current mark now his switches back to turf.
Claims on the pick of her form but the majority of her best form is has been posted over 5f up to press. This drop in class might help though and worth noting in the betting.
Joined his current yard after winning a seller over C&D last summer and didn't take long to repay the faith. Gelded before the start of the year and beginning to find his form; comes here after a sound performance at Catterick earlier in the week. More to do but has place claims once again.
Another who ran well last time out and interesting that she manages to swerve Judy Woods this time around. Big chance if that form line receives a boost in the previous race on the card.
Six furlongs suits him ideally and posted his best effort to date last time out; set to race from the same mark but more to do now he switches to turf. Rider's 7lb claim helps and drawn well, so capable of making the rest aware of his presence.
Struggled to make an impact for Chris Wall and hasn't shown much improvement since joining his current training establishment. Bred to be effective on the All Weather but needs to conclusively prove she handles racing on turf as well.
Posted a very encouraging effort last time out; and has to be considered from just a 1lb higher mark from what looks like a plum draw near the rail.
Shown very little since joining his current yard so no surprise to see experimentation with a form of headgear. The visor needs to bring about a big reversal in fortunes though.
Very little to get enthusiastic about her starts as a juvenile; and looks opposable despite making her turf debut on a very lenient mark.

Regal Decree (4/1), Bismarck The Flyer (4/1), Darvie (7/1), Skellig Michael (15/2), Mr Strutter (8/1), Trois Bon Amis (9/1), Emerald Secret (11/1), Ejabah (12/1), Majestic Stone (14/1), Mimic's Memory (14/1), Little Kingdom (14/1), I Dare To Dream (50/1)
The previous race holds a reliable form line, with the recently gelded REGAL DECREE making the most appeal after posting a very encouraging return earlier in the month. That said, Darvie will be a big threat if he copes with tackling a sixth furlong, while Mimic's Memory and Bismarck The Flyer also merit serious consideration; the latter edges the verdict in that personal battle on these terms. Skellig Michael is another to bear in mind if he attracts support.
