In good form on the AW this winter winning three times including over 1m3f at Kempton in March. Beaten a head in a four runner contest over this trip at Lingfield nine days later and likely to run well on his return to turf.
Beaten a short-head in an amateur riders event over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton last month. Drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and races off a mark 2lb lower than when winning over 1m2f at Bath (soft) last June.
Impressive 15L winner over C&D on good-to-firm ground off a 5lb lower mark in July last year. Finished runner-up here on soft two starts later and makes his seasonal debut in this event.
Successful off this mark over 1m2f at Newmarket (good-to-soft) in September 2015. Lightly raced since however and beaten 13L over 2m on the AW at Kempton a month ago.
Useful dual purpose performer on his day but failed to shine over hurdles this winter. Had just ten outings on the Flat but well beaten off a 2lb higher mark at Newbury over 2m in November and others make more appeal here with the visor reapplied.
Followed up a C&D win on good-to-firm with two victories over 1m5f at Bath last summer. Beaten 33L at Goodwood on her only subsequent start and likely to improve for this seasonal debut.
In good form recently winning over 1m2f on the AW at Newcastle in March and finishing twice subsequently. Latest placing came over this trip at Wolverhampton last month and interesting with cheekpieces on for the first time.
Finished runner-up off a 1lb lower mark on good-to-soft ground over C&D last May. Best Flat effort in two outings since came when third here in August and has won over hurdles since. Making her first start since December today.
Well beaten in three maiden efforts and a similar result when making his handicap debut in a first time tongue tie over an extended 1m3f (good-to-firm) at Windsor in October. Yard have a 21% strike-rate recently (4/19).
Both victories in a 30 race career have come here including over this trip on good-to-firm ground off a 2lb higher mark in July 2015. Well beaten on his final two starts of last season and others make more appeal today.

Moayadd (11/4), Icebuster (11/4), Admiral's Sunset (4/1), What A Scorcher (7/1), Rosie Royale (9/1), Ma Peek (9/1), Mazaaher (10/1), Glens Wobbly (12/1), Golden Jubilee (18/1), Barizan (20/1), Ring Eye (25/1)
MOAYADD was in fine form on the AW this winter and he can register a first turf success by taking this opening contest. The selection has three victories to his name already 2017 and was narrowly touched off last time out and can get the better of Icebuster who drops in trip here having raced over an extended 2m last time out . Of the remainder the filly Admiral's Sunset is less exposed than most in this contest and can claim third on her return to handicap company.
