Up 5lb for a handicap victory last time at Lingfield over 7f, when she won more easily than the narrow margin of victory suggests. Return to 1m should suit, and she goes for a yard in good form.
Off since finishing 7th in the York maiden won by subsequent Group 1 winner Rivet last August (the richest maiden of the British season), and looks to get off the mark here on handicap debut. Step up in trip should suit and opening mark looks fair, so he's a big player.
Slightly disappointing at Epsom last time but raced far too keenly in the early stages and paid the price, finishing up beaten 38L into last. On the same mark now, but could be worth another chance if able to settle better, given the good of style of her maiden win.
Maiden winner in October, though the form of that race is questionable, and has been off since. Could do better stepped up to a mile and handles some cut in the ground, but a step up is required to handicap debut.
Won on handicap debut with something in hand in January before probably not enjoying the step down in trip to 7f last time. On the same mark now (7lb above that winning weight) and should relish returning to 1m.
Ran one of his best races to date at Kempton last time on his seasonal reappearance and could have more to offer returned to this trip, especially given his proven ability to handle softer conditions.
Won on maiden before being simply outclassed in a Newbury Group 3 on only his second start. Slightly disappointing at Chepstow last time when well beaten on his seasonal reappearance, but could do better in another handicap over this trip with a visor now applied.
Won a maiden on debut but has so far struggled in handicap company, and more will be needed, especially off an only slightly reduced mark from a comprehensive beating at Epsom last time out.
Makes her handicap debut here off a low weight having run some nice races in maidens. However her best performances have been on fast ground, so conditions would have to be a concern.

Black Trilby (3/1), On To Victory (4/1), Hersigh (11/2), Balgair (6/1), Oud Metha Bridge (8/1), Subatomic (17/2), Revel (10/1), Fiendish (16/1), Cyrus Dallin (20/1), Gold Award (22/1)
This can go to REVEL. Stuart Williams' charge won with something in hand on handicap debut in January on Kempton's all-weather track (when it was standard/slow) before not getting the run of the race dropped down to 7f last time. He will need to settle a little bit better but if he can, this could be his for the taking. Black Trilby ran well in the York maiden won by Rivet last August and is a big player if handling the ground on his return, while On To Victory looks to be improving and is one to consider at a likely bigger price.
