Scored twice over 5f from his first four starts, including from a 3lb lower mark at Windsor (good) on his return last year. Only one run since though, a laboured effort in a seller at Southwell; opposable on debut for new yard.
Back-to-back winner last summer but had lost his way since before a promising third at Lingfield last time. Handicapper didn't miss her but still on a fair mark judged on her Goodwood win last year.
Promising start to his career but went downhill tiwards the end of last year and well beaten at Chelmsford on final start of 2016. Needs to bounce back now and may need this run after a break.
Well backed on several occasions last year but largely struggled and he was a beaten favourite when last seen at Windsor. Hard to fancy in a more competitive contest.
Rattled off a hat-trick last year and been a little unlucky to finish runner-up on his three most recent starts. Could still win off this career high mark but his best efforts are over further.
Left David Barron for 13,000 gns in October 2016 and has been disappointing for his new yard on two AW starts. Most effective on fast ground so wouldn't want any rain to arrive.
Irish raiden who was a winner of a 7f handicap at Dundalk in October and stepped up on his debut for this yard when finishing 3L third at the same track over 1m in February. Has never managed to win off a mark this high so looks a little vulnerable from a handicapping perspective.
Took advantage of his reduced mark last time but back on a mark of 78 for this. Has been in good form generally so not dismissed back on turf and jockey is particularly useful in sprint races.
Maiden winner at Redcar last year but looked vulnerable off this mark since and likely to struggle for a yard in poor form.
Effective front-runner who won at Salisbury two starts back and a more consistent type than some in here. May have needed reappearance run at Windsor and all his best efforts have come on soft ground; any rain would be a positive and should go well.
Has appeared to relish the return to 7f recently but he's effective over this trip. Others looks better handicapped in this field and he can miss the break at times; patchy profile and others preferred.
Habitual slow starter but won four of his five races on the AW this winter. Disappointing in two starts in April though and looks opposable on turf from a mark higher than what he's ever won off.
Just one win from 14 starts and looks an inconsistent sort who can often miss the break, may need to come back down the handicap before becoming of interest.
A four-time winner with Willie Muir, most recently off a higher mark than this at Lingfield a year ago but he ended last season on a low note and has failed to fire in four starts on the AW for current yard.
Four wins from 38 starts on the turf but only one win since 2014 and finished last at Windsor when last seen. Has a bit to prove now and probably not all that well-handicapped.
Enjoyed the return to turf with a win at Windsor last time out. This more competitive and probably a little vulnerable off his revised mark.
Largely out of form since winning at Brighton but on a fair mark as a result. Needs to come on for his recent reappearance at Chepstow if he's to have any chance in this.
Seems to be held by the handicapper having been put up in the weights following two decisive victories in January. Needs a strong pace to aim at if he is to be seen to best effect
13 starts without a win now and very disappointing on his last couple of efforts. Not a straightforward horse (can race keen and miss the break) and he may be a little better over 5f.
Not won since April 2015 and more effective on the AW than he is on turf and that was borne out by running well over the winter on synthetic surfaces before finishing a disappointing last at Yarmouth returned to turf.

KING OF SPIN is lightly raced and he may be capable of building on his recent Windsor win. Very Honest looked like a return to form may be imminent last time at Lingfield while Vroom is capable of going well from the front.
