Consistent as youngster but still didn't quite manage to shake-off the maiden tag; reappearance effort at Kempton was fair and promising but then failed to back it up when last of 9 at Wolverhampton. Now has a bit to prove.
Ran well in a C&D maiden last September; subsequently gelded in the off-season but showed he has trained on with another solid performance on his reappearance at Nottingham. Steps back 2f in trip but likely to be a lot fitter for the outing and is a leading contender in this company.
Steady improvement last year, culminating with a solid effort at Kempton in December. Needs to keep progressing and the step up to a mile ought to suit on breeding - the betting will be helpful where he is concerned.
Well held in a couple of handicaps back in January but arguably ran up to his current mark each time, so difficult to rule out now that he is gaining in experience. First-time cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer booked to assist her as she makes her turf debut.
Placed three times from seven starts as a juvenile, so respected as a fairly consistent performer. Starting to look exposed and needs to improve in the first-time blinkers.
Cost 62,000 gns and started to justify the outlay with a nursery success at Leicester back in October - form which is working out well. Not seen since and will go into handicaps on a 3lb higher mark after this. But the step up in trip shouldn't be too much of an issue and he is another to bear in mind if the vibes are right.
Posted a solid effort on his return in March and, with winners over a mile in his pedigree, he should appreciate this step up in distance. Reverting to racing on turf should also suit. Dangerous to rule out.

I'vegotthepower (3/1), Pacofilha (4/1), Challow (9/2), Raj Balaraaj (5/1), Spiritofedinburgh (5/1), Ocean Promise (8/1), Elusive Olivia (8/1), Mutineer (12/1)
One of the most informative races on the card as several of these can pay their way as the season progresses. The likes of: Raj Balaraaj, Spiritofedinburgh and Mutineer do need to conclusively prove themselves over the trip but are going the right way are certainly worth keeping tabs on whatever happens this afternoon, while Elusive Olivia is probably better than she showed last time out and will be a threat if she is back on song. However, preference goes to I'VEGOTTHEPOWER, who ran a blinder over 10f on his seasonal debut and will be ideally suited by stepping back to a mile here.
