Modest hurdler and beaten 21L on Flat debut over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield (soft) last week. Others make more appeal here.
Placed on the Flat in France but well beaten of jumps last season for this stable and a similar result when 74L sixth of eight on Flat return at Lingfield (soft) last week.
Modest form in point-to-points but off the mark on rules debut in a Newton Abbot (good-to-firm) bumper last month and finished 13L third over the same C&D when attempting to follow up three weeks ago. Worth a check in the market on Flat debut.
Beaten 42L when making her debut over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield (good) earlier this month. Tongue tie worn on that occasion is retained today and drops in trip also.
Finished last of 13 when making his debut over 1m2f at Newbury (good) earlier this month. Probably best watched in this contest.
Ran well when finishing third of 13 over 1m2f at Newbury (good) when making his debut a fortnight ago. Yard have a 16% strike-rate (3/19) in recent weeks and likely to play a leading role today.
Ran well when finishing runner-up on debut over 1m1f at Carlisle (soft) last month but disappointing when only third over the same distance at Hamilton (soft) next time out. One of the likelier candidates in this event.
Unraced gelded son of Nathaniel and a half-brother to AW maiden winner Share The Honour. Dam a winner on the Flat in France though probably best watched on debut.
Unraced home-bred daughter of Nathaniel. Half-sister to connections useful middle-distance filly Be My Gal amongst others and market support would be interesting on her racecourse debut.
Beaten 3L into fourth in a maiden event over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-soft) when making her debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience and an interesting runner today.
Finished fourth in both starts so far including when upped to 1m2f at Goodwood (good) last time out. Beaten 3L into fourth on that occasion and an interesting runner here.
Well beaten seventh of nine over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-soft) on debut last October. Probably best watched on her return from a near ten month lay-off here.

SAROOG made a promising debut when third over slightly further than today's trip earlier this month and he can get off the mark at the second time of asking here. The selection was slowly away on that occasion and should have benefited from the experience of his first visit to the racecourse. Torcello has twice made the frame in maiden company on soft ground and he can add a third placed effort to his record by claiming second here ahead of Pequeninha who showed promise when fourth on her debut last month.
