Fair sort for Jeremy Gask at his best and is 2-4 here but lost his way with previous yard and showed nothing over hurdles on his return from a long absence in January. Another stable switch, best watched.
A winner on the turf here during the summer and made it five wins from just 19 starts with a career-best effort over 1m3f at Kempton last time out in October. Reappears off a 5lb higher mark but Ryan Moore will help.
A Flat winner in Germany in his younger days before winning a couple of novice hurdles in 2015, only to lose his way. For all that, he wasn't totally disgraced on his return from a long absence and mark has tumbled.
AW Flat winner in France who also landed claimer over hurdles before an abject effort on his UK debut at Fakeneham in December. Subsequent wind surgery suggests an underlying issue that day, so perhaps dangerous to dismiss under Adam Kirby now.
Sole success in 22 races came on his debut in 2015 but has ran well in defeat on numerous occasions since. Below his best the last twice but on a career-low mark and a potential threat if putting his best foot forward.
A 16-race maiden but deserves to find a race after a couple of near-misses over 1m2f on turf last summer. Respected under Luke Morris on his return for a progressive new yard, though niggling stamina query to answer over 1m4f.
With John Gosden once upon a time but, having started brightly for this yard, he regressed significantly during the second half of last season. Poor reappearance and hard to see him opening his account from the worst of the draw.
Three-time course winner from 11 attempts, his latest success coming over C&D last month from a 3lb lower mark. Just found wanting over slightly further last time and no surprise if bumping into something better-handicapped.
Three-time C&D winner who was winning on the track for the sixth time when scoring from a 3lb lower mark in January. Twice held off his revised mark since but no surprise to see him competitive once again.
17-race maiden but has been fancied in the market the last three times, finishing close-up the first twice before a lesser effort last time when restless in the stalls. Interesting to see Andrea Atzeni up, not ruled out.
Successful on the Flat in Germany on decent ground but has laboured badly in two runs over hurdles for this yard, where testing conditions may have been to blame. Market should act as the best guide.
Forecasts
Iballisticvin (3/1), Yensir (9/2), Attain (5/1), Betsalottie (6/1), Widnes (7/1), Joycetick (8/1), Top Beak (14/1), Leoro (16/1), Slowfoot (20/1), Henry Croft (25/1), Jamhoori (25/1)
An interesting contest but the booking of Ryan Moore points to a big run from IBALLISTICVIN on his seasonal reappearance having signed off last year with a career-best win at Kempton. The five-year-old remains open to further progress this year and it may not prove beyond him to defy a 5lb higher mark given the yard's adeptness at readying one after a break. Yensir, a new recruit for the bang-in-form Olly Murphy yard merits respect with Luke Morris booked, whilst Widnes is also worth a look with Andrea Atzeni up. Any market move for Joycetick on his first run after wind surgery could be significant.
