One win from 14 starts, that came on the AW at Dundalk and he struggled off this kind of mark on turf when trained on the other side of the Irish Sea.

Hit and miss performer and not disgraced off his revised mark at the Curragh last time after a fair effort at Gowran Park. Interesting contender but could have drawn better.

Yet to win in seven starts and his better form has come on the AW. Others look better handicapped and he showed very little last time out at the Curragh.

Won a maiden for Jamie Osborne at Wolverhampton but she's struggled since plying her tried on these shores and she showed very little on first turf start last time. First-time cheekpieces need to bring about plenty of improvement.

Well beaten on all five starts to date and only minor promise on her recent starts. Needs more relief from the handicapper to figure.

Ex-Godolphin filly has been laboured in three runs since a decent start for this trainer over a mile at Dundalk more than a year ago, hard to build case currently. Tries a first-time hood.

Has struggled on all five starts to date and clearly not the easiest to train having only been seen four times since her debut in June 2015. Needs to find improvement.

Had run okay in three starts in England for John Gosden but not been seen for well over a year and likely to need this run.

Soundly beaten on her latest three outings. The return to this trip is probably what she needs but she's been virtually tailed off on her recent efforts and hard to fancy off the back of those.

Unplaced on all seven starts but that doesn't quite tell the whole story as he has run well on a couple of AW starts. Struggled badly in two turf starts this year though.

Stepped up on her sole start of 2016 when finishing runner-up over an extended 7f at Tipperary last month. Couldn't back that up at Limerick last time and may be best suited to softer ground she got on her penultimate start.

Failed to get on the scoresheet on four starts at Dundalk and failed to get involve on his sole turf start earlier in the month. In need of relief from the handicapper.

Had been knocking on the door towards the end of last and excellent third at the Curragh last time. Holding her form well and every chance having only been raised 1lb for her most recent win.

Well beaten on all three starts, going off at 66/1 on each occasion and has been too green to do himself justice so far in his career. Likely to struggle from a wide draw.

Soundly beaten on first two starts but she was a little better last time out and still very low mileage. First-time hood should help her settle and should improve.

One win from 17 starts and winless in 12 on turf. That record doesn't quite tell the whole story as she has run well on the grass on occasions but this step up in trip isn't certain to suit.

Has bounced back to form in recent starts and he's still very well-handicapped on his form of 2015. Should be thereabouts once again.

Unplaced on all five starts and yard have been a little quiet in recent weeks. First-time visor needs to bring about plenty of improvement.

Forecasts

Rose Anjou (3/1), Khabaray (6/1), Yulong Baokui (9/1), Bien Chase (9/1), Mountain Fox (9/1), Dandy Dude (10/1), Indian Tomahawk (10/1), Boy Charlton (12/1), Scilly (12/1), White Lotus (16/1), Texas Katie (16/1), Dark Amber (16/1), Turn On The Tears (20/1), Logarithm (20/1), Surewhynot (20/1), Pepperminty (20/1), Spartan's Queen (25/1), Cantsayrightly (25/1), Cristal Icon (33/1), Pure Happiness (33/1)

Verdict

ROSE ANJOU has gone close on three of her last four starts and she may come on for her recent reappearance run. Surewhynot put in an improved effort last time and may be capable of building on that while Indian Tomahawk is very well-handicapped on old form and should run well again.
  1. Rose Anjou
  2. Surewhynot
  3. Indian Tomahawk
