Only one previous outing here but that came a long while ago (finished last) and he doesn't look an obvious candidate for a return to the Fibresand. Not seen to best effect last time out (slow away; caught wide) but drops in grade here and is 6lb below his last winning mark.
Appears to have taken well to this surface shaping well on her first try here having just her second run for the yard. Certainly built on her first run for the trainer and it was no disgrace to beat only narrowly beaten over C&D last time by one who acts well here; leading chance.
Ran to a reasonable as a juvenile but remains a maiden and she now makes her Fibresand debut on her second start for this yard. Showed very little on her debut for the yard though and quickly dropped 5lb to a near basement mark; others appeal more.
Has a couple of decent runs to his name on surface (and one poor one) all those coming over 6f. Failed to build on his last good run here at Lingfield last time (again over 6f) and now tries 5f for the first time since last summer; chance if he copes with the trip.
Only reasonable run of late came in first-time blinkers on her penultimate outing in similar company over 5f at Kempton. Not in the same form last time out and her one previous run here wasn't that encouraging as she's given another try on Fibresand.
Only modest in handicaps although her last two runs have shown that she has ability at this lowly level (failed to go through with effort last time). Shaped well enough over this C&D on her only try so far and one of the leading contenders.
First try on this surface but is by a sire (Monsieur Bond) who has a decent record here. Yet to win a race though and well below form over 6f last time out on Tapeta on her return from a break; worth a glance in the market.
Never run on Fibresand before but is by a sire who has yet to have a winner on this surface (0/36). Shaped as though she needed the run last time out (raced too close to a strong pace) and faded over 6f at Chelmsford; hard to fancy given her pedigree.
Well beaten in a 6f seller at Wolverhampton last time out (had no chance at the weights) her previous handicap form still leaves her plenty to find returned to this sphere. One previous try on Fibresand (finished 8th) and was well held.
Made his handicap debut last time out (tongue-tie on first time) at Lingfield over 5f and shaped well (had hinted at ability before) although he may have needed the run. Looks a speedy sort so remains to be seen how he handles this surface (sire 5/19 here); of interest based on his last run.

Forecasts
Kingstreet Lady (15/8), Warrior's Valley (7/2), Roy's Legacy (5/1), Silver Penny (11/2), Blistering Dancer (7/1), Rial (8/1), Digital Revolution (14/1), See Vermont (20/1), Lambrini Legacy (20/1), Little Cupcake (25/1), Celerity (100/1)
If Roy’s Legacy comes here after his Saturday Lingfield win he would clearly have a chance under a penalty although he might not be quite as effective on this surface. KIngstreet Lady was only beaten narrowly over C&D last time here and must be respected but a narrow vote goes to WARRIOR’S VALLEY who has a trainer who does well here and should given his pedigree act on this surface. Most of the others have something to prove although Silver Penny has plenty to recommend her on this surface based on her previous outing here. See Vermont drops to a dangerous mark if he did come back to form although that’s looked unlikely of late.
