Stable going well and this representative has had a break since running well for a long way on her handicap debut at Lingfield in February from today's mark. Having weakened close home there, this drop to 6f is worth a try and she could well be in the mix.
Returned after a three month break at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and was doing his best work at the finish that day. Races on turf for the first time here from 2lb lower and with the hood retained and he looks an interesting proposition.
Was dropped in trip for her handicap debut at Chelmsford last time out and beaten 9L at 33/1. 3lb lower today and returns from a winter break back up to 6f. Watching brief very much advised.
Sole win was at Hamilton (6f, good) last summer from a mark of 67 when with Kevin Ryan. Shown nothing in two starts for this yard so far, but dropped 4lb since latest outing over C&D and couldn't rule out a significantly better effort this time.
Moderate form in her three maidens, the best of which was probably on debut, which is here only turf start so far. Gets in for her handicap debut from a very workable mark and now back up in trip we could see a fair bit more from her. Market check suggested.
Had failed to build on the promise of his Chelmsford debut in two subsequent starts, amid which he was gelded and also changed yards. Dropped back in trip now for his second run for this stable and headgear fitted, but was outpaced over 7f last time, so has a bit to do over shorter.
Moderate efforts in maidens led to an initial handicap mark of 56, reduced by 1lb now and she goes into this after a decent effort on her handicap intro at Thirsk last time (6f, good). Should be able to improve a bit for that and with yard going well she is entitled to claims.
Won a Lingfield handicap over the minimum trip in January and went close next time over today's distance. 2lb higher than the latter for today's race and given that she is unexposed over the trip, she couldn't be confidently ruled out.
4lb lower than when beaten just 1L at Wolverhampton in November (7f) and returned to turf with no more than a reasonable effort at Chepstow last time (6f) from 1lb higher than today. Needs to improve on that.
Ran to a similar level of form in all three starts in maidens and now has a workable handicap mark for her debut in this sphere. Stable not red hot just at the moment, so perhaps best watched today unless the jungle drums play an upbeat tune.
Has been unable to cut the mustard for either Lydia Pearce or Denis Quinn and now third trainer tries his hand at improving on her 0-11 record. Yet to finish even in the frame at trips from 5f-7f and that would be a good place to start after a 3lb drop plus a winter break.
1lb lower than when recording his best effort so far, running a 2L third at Kempton (6f) in March. Has been unable to build on that over both 5f and 7f since and needs to find a bit more for the return to today's distance.
Very poor form in three maidens over 5f-6f last year and gelded since. May do better for that, but although this is a very lowly initial handicap mark it is still not easy to assess his worth and the market should be the best guide.
Out of the handicap here and although she has finished closer on her last two starts she has not shown enough to suggest that there will be sudden, more marked improvement, today.

A poor contest where the market should again be informative and PAQITA BAILARINA might provide the answer after a decent effort at Thirsk and with the yard in form. Percy Toplis could show improvement now, as may handicap debutants Defining Moment and Frank's Legacy.
