Runner up in all four outings so far and has already been expensive to follow. May do better when stepped up in trip and faces a tough test on these terms.
Cost €48,000, his dam won over 7f on the AW and 9f on turf. Yard respected at this course but this fellow may need more time.
Exposed as ordinary on the AW but may have more to offer on turf. Still has a lot to prove, however, and best watched this time around.
Cost 110,000 gns as a two-year-old but his starts so far have brought little in return - including when tried in a first-time hood on his seasonal debut at Bath earlier in the month. Yard won this race last year but this fellow needs to improve if he is going to emulate the feat.
Cost 160,000 gns, the colt kept on well to finish second on debut at Nottingham and should be a lot wiser this time around. The winner of that race looks a decent yardstick, so feasible to expect a bold effort tonight.
Respected on the form of his handicap debut on his penultimate start but was never in contention last time out and eased near the finish. Now has something to prove.
Beaten at short odds three times as a juvenile, so has already been expensive to follow. Gelded since last seen out, so may now be a more determined character. Worth noting in the betting.
Drops back to 6f after a lacklustre effort at Brighton at the start of the month. Carried a lofty price-tag but reputation on the racecourse may suffer if he doesn't start to show improvement before too long.
Initially cost €100,000 as a yearling but moved on from Richard Hannon's yard after five fruitless outings for just 15,000 gns at the October sales. Hard to see where the requisite improvement will come from.
Cost just £6,000 and has finished last in both her starts up to press. Another that is hard to fancy just at the moment. Possible she will do better in handicaps over further in due course.
80,000 gns as a yearling, was no better than mid-division in a maiden at Bath last June. Best watched on her first start back.
Has a speedy pedigree and was far from disgraced at Doncaster in the second of her two starts so far. Leading claims on that form and strikes as one that is likely to progress whatever happens here.

Crafty Madam (5/2), Subjective (3/1), Hollander (7/2), Port Isaac (8/1), Tawaafoq (12/1), Gloriux (14/1), Cobalty Isle (16/1), Raffle King (16/1), Limelite (16/1), Delagate This Lord (25/1), Tesko Fella (50/1), Clip Art (50/1), Babette (100/1)
This could be an informative little contest as a few of these jostle for the lead role. And the speedily-bred CRAFTY MADAM may be the one to take up the mantle after a solid effort at Doncaster earlier this month. The selection's yard has been quiet of late, so it may also pay a dividend to consider an investment on Hollander stepping things up a couple of notches in a race that should be run to suit. Subjective has already been expensive to follow but may find himself a cut above many of the rest, while Gloriux needs to improve but has a nice enough pedigree to suggest he is capable of winning a small race somewhere along the line.
