Looked green in three maidens last term. Makes handicap debut with yard going well and having been gelded during the winter. Related to winners and the market will help to further assess his prospects.

Winner of a couple of races over a mile at Southwell. Needs to prove her effectiveness on turf and off this new mark. Tough draw does not help.

Eight-race maiden who is up significantly in trip. Dam stayed 1m4f so merit in the move and she has a good draw.

Won here over 5f in September and went well at Brighton next time. Well weighted on those efforts and tries a new trip having blown the start in both runs this term. On both those occasions she has shaped as though needing further but the draw makes it harder for her.

Has failed to get competitive in minor races so far at odds of at least 200/1. Looks set to play a supporting role once again.

7/2
Produced best effort on turf last time. Suited to forcing tactics but looking fully weighted at present and stall 15 is a tough berth to overcome.

Runs to a consistent level whilst tending to find one or two too good for her. Stable have enjoyed better luck recently and looks set to be thereabouts again.

Has been going well at Wolverhampton lately over different trips and employing various tactics. Has an awkward draw to overcome with an inexperienced rider on board.

Failed to improve on her debut effort last term. Starts 2017 on a low mark and with stable going well, particularly with this age group (8-37).

Has shown only modest form in maidens and handicaps so far. Needs to show a lot more and stable have been quieter of late.

Well weighted with Viola Park on running at Chelmsford earlier this year. Finished a good second to Sir Plato at Kempton and he has scored twice since. Has an obvious chance if settling better in a hood for young rider who is 3-20 this year.

Verdict

This is not an easy race to find individuals who are anything to enthuse over. A number of these could improve for new trips, new trainers or for making their handicap debuts. Of those treated favourably by the draw Topmeup looks set to go close once again and Tis Wonderful represents a top yard who are going well. WHATALOVE wears a hood for the first time and that may help her settle. She has been keen and has not quite got home in recent outings. Her second to Sir Plato looks the best piece of form on offer and her young rider has caught the eye of leading trainers.
