Without a win in 11 starts, but gave the first major indication of an imminent success for some time with a running-on second at Yarmouth 11 days ago. Needs to back that up and has the burden of top weight, but is certainly one to consider.
Exoerienced campaigner who has been performing well on AW surfaces of late without being able to get her head in front. Back on turf and at a course where she has enjoyed success, she is worthy of respect.
Little encouragement to be gleaned from recent turf and AW displays and needs to rediscover the form which saw him finish a close third at Wolverhampton in December.
Only turf win in nine starts came at Newmarket around this time last year. Although this is over 2f shorter, he runs off a 3lb lower mark, May need this run after a lay-off, but is certainly handicapped to be competitive.
Won a Leicester seller for Richard Hannon in September, but has shown nothing in two starts for his current stable. Best watched until hinting at a revival.
Without a win after 19 starts, she has been inching down the weights and ran a fair race to be third at Wolverhampton over 7f last time. The return to a mile should suit and she has each-way claims back on turf.
Having her second stint with this trainer, but did not show much on her second 'debut' for him when well beaten at Southwell after a short break. Has run well at this track in the past and is feasibly handicapped on her return to turf.
Ran his best race for some time when just touched off at Chelmsford in March, but that was a poor contest and he has a dismal record of no placings in eight starts on turf.
Unplaced in 15 turf and AW races, he runs off a falling handicap mark but is hard to fancy given his form figures.
Without a win in 25 starts on the Flat, she has done nothing recently to suggest that record is about to improve.
Awarded the race after finishing second for Tim Easterby at Catterick in May, 2013, but is without a win since then and has shown little for his current yard. Tumbling down the weights, but not as good as she was and needs to find a spark.

Little Choosey (7/2), King Oswald (4/1), Indigo Princess (9/2), The Dukkerer (5/1), Tatawu (11/2), Qortaaj (15/2), Cahar Fad (15/2), Sheer Intensity (9/1), Ada Misobel (9/1), Sarakova (16/1), Walking In Rhythm (16/1), Tom's Anna (20/1), Lady Nahema (20/1), Tamarin (33/1)
Most of these are struggling to find their form, but one who is in good heart is KING OSWALD, who shaped well in first-time cheekpieces at Haydock last time and runs off the same mark. The Dukkerer won on the AW last time and will be a threat if reproducing that effort on turf, while Little Choosey has been running well and should make her presence felt.
