Bumper winner at Newton Abott but not so good on the Flat debut here last month and may lack the tactical pace required to have a say in this.
Has run two races of little account so far in maidens at this course and at Lingfield; plenty more neeed now and appears to be the stable's second string.
Has beaten only one of her 21 rivals in two starts so far, and the switch to turf for the first time would need to bring about more improvement that practically impossible in order for her to demand any kind of consideration.
Disappointing when a well-beaten odds-on favourite when last seen at Kempton last August. May not have appreciated the synthetic surface and/or drop back in trip there. Returns to 1m now but has the lay-off since then to overcome.
Posted two solid efforts over 7f at the end of last season, running to a similar level on each occasion. Came up short there but less probably needed in this company.
Took a big step forward to finish a good second on her second run at Newmarket last time out, having run only a fair race on debut at Chelmsford in May. A repeat of that performance would see her go close here.
Beaten only by a relatively comfortable winner on debut at Yarmouth last month (7f, good); this could be easier despite the bigger field and she is of definite interest now stepping up in trip.
Slightly disappointing when well-beaten at Windsor last time out, but had run a solid race on debut at Lingfield prior to that and showed enough ability on that occasion to suggest she could be capable of hitting the frame here.
Beaten 26L into last when making her debut at Lingfield in September, and is difficult to build a case for following that run, though she had been well supported in the market.
Showed improvement to finish a close second at Bath last time. That was only a three runner race but still definitely represented a step forward, and another would see her run a big race here.
No impression when tried over hurdles at Stratford last month for stable debut but had shown he has some ability on the Flat prior to that. Probably a bit more needed now but wears a first time tongue strap to assist.
Beaten by double figure margins in all of her races so far and looks an unlikely sort to win a maiden, even a relatively weak-looking affair such as this one.
Never figured on debut at Sandown before running a more accomplished race at Windsor last time out, dropping down to this trip. Claims if building on that performance.

Awfaa (10/11), Ambrosia (10/3), Chalky (11/2), Gold Dust (14/1), Keeper's Choice (20/1), Your Ladyship (20/1), Jazaalah (20/1), Lucky Esteem (25/1), Triple First (25/1), Poyle Emily (50/1), Koubba (66/1), Bubbles Arcade (80/1), Millie May (200/1), Our Ruth (200/1)
It was encouraging to see how much improvement AWFAA was able to show at Newmarket last time, with the time off over winter and the step up to this trip both clearly suiting her well. She goes for some top connections and if she is able to improve again then could prover herself to be a force to be reckoned with here. She gets the vote ahead of Poyle Emily, who can bounce back from a disappointing run last time if overcoming a lay-off, and Chalky, who ran an eye-catching race on debut at Yarmouth last month.
