Ex-Sir Michael Stoute runner remains a maiden having finished last of 13 over 1m1f on stable bow for this yard on AW at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. Plenty questions to answer right now.
Off since September and remains a maiden after nine starts but has shown enough to suggest there are races in him, notably when second over 1m4f at this track in July off this rating. Has fitness to prove here but not beyond him.
Has been in exceptionally good form on the AW this year, rattling up a four-timer before being beaten at Wolverhampton over 1m4f last month. Yet to win but acts on turf, could go well.
Shed maiden tag at Catterick over 1m4f (good-to-firm) last month with a bit to spare and should prove capable of mounting another decent bid from 4lb higher over slightly shorter trip.
Three-time turf winner in the autumn at around this distance, is 7lb higher than previous winning mark now though Redcar return last month (1m2f, good-to-firm) suggested he can compete off this mark. AW outing since was fair, given he had plenty to do from off the pace.
Haydock winner in July over 1m2f in soft ground off 64, should be better for last month's reappearance and chance if stamina holds out now upped in trip.
Has won four of five races since joining this yard (three over hurdles). Just 2lb higher than when scoring over 1m4f at Musselburgh in July on good-to-firm ground. Could be capable of better again if ready to go on return.
Ended long losing streak with Brighton success over 1m4f this month on good-to-firm, showed game attitude in doing so and could be involved against from 3lb higher if in similar mood.
Uninspiring record in four previous runs on the turf, has been out of form on the AW recently and makes little appeal here.

Forecasts
Arrowtown (11/4), Our Kylie (7/2), Monaco Rose (11/2), Canny Style (11/2), Lopito de Vega (8/1), Albert Boy (10/1), Smiley Bagel (10/1), Petrify (10/1), Street Poet (25/1), Thou Swell (25/1), Taste The Wine (25/1)
Our Kylie thrived for the switch to this yard last year and could well have more to offer this term, confidence in the mare would certainly be noteworthy but she does have to concede fitness to a few of these rivals. Arrowtown also has fitness to prove but has run well here before and cannot be discounted along with Albert Boy and Canny Style. MONACO ROSE scored nicely at Catterick last time to shed her maiden tag and from just 4lb higher she is given the nod to back that up here.
