On what looks to be a high enough mark to start off her Flat handicap career, and despite formerly running very well in bumpers is tough to fancy based on her performances so far on the level.
Not the worst record over intermediate trips on the all-weather, but is 0/9 on turf and was beaten 20L into last of 14 in a similar event at Brighton in May.
Sole win to date came on the all-weather track at this course, and he hasn't been running at all badly recent but perhaps needs to show a little extra off a stationary mark in order to prove competitive here.
Hasn't been able to get competitive the last twice having won back-to-back races prior to that, though the last race can be ignored as he lost all chance at the start. Worth considering again here, especially as he is likely to get his favoured strong pace.
Slight doubt about this trip being his optimum, given all his wins have come over shorter, and would probably want it no faster than 'good'. Too many question marks therefore for him to be given genuine consideration.
Beaten favourite on his return to this trip last time out, but has still been running well of late and once again enjoys the services of a top jockey, raised 1lb from his last run.
Form has leveled off recently and the suspicion would be that he is now in the handicapper's grasp, but with a good record over this trip it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him go well.
Recent improver who won last time out at Bath having stepped up to this trip for the first time. Up 4lb now and another career best needed, but no doubt that he's going the right way.
Makes his handicap debut having been well beaten in all three starts in maidens, and has plenty to prove now against some more promising, progressive types.
Sprang a small surprise to win well at Brighton last time (1m2f, good to firm), and has subsequently been raised 6lb. Further progression necessary, in addition to proving that result wasn't a fluke.

Buzz Lightyere (7/4), Betsalottie (4/1), About Glory (6/1), Fanfair (15/2), Retribution (10/1), Master Of Heaven (14/1), Live Dangerously (16/1), Sheer Intensity (20/1), Shanandoa (25/1), Etaad (33/1), Street Art (40/1)
There's no one stand-out in this field but a few have been running well and are capable of taking a handicap of this nature off their current marks, and these include BUZZ LIGHTYERE. Only narrowly beaten when 2/1 favourite over this trip at Brighton last week, he has run consistently well since switching to this yard and has more to offer raised only 1lb from his last run. He is the selection narrowly ahead of Fanfair, who would need to improve again but is perhaps the most likely to in the field, and Street Art, who should go well if getting a better start this time round.
