Improved from his debut to win at Nottingham and ran a fair race on much faster ground at Haydock next time out. Found pattern level too much on his last couple of runs of the year and handicap mark looks a little stiff on what he's achieved.

Four wins from seven runs on AW over the winter when found some good opportunities by his shrewd trainer who won the opener here on Wednesday. The gelding needs to prove he's as effective on turf though.

Ran well on debut at Chepstow and followed up with an impressive win over 7f at Chelmsford in November. Disappointed a little last time but ran well in the circumstances (slowly away and keen) and has been freshened up for his return to turf.

Improved from debut to win at Catterick and while he found pattern level too tough on two subsequent starts, he rounded off his juvenile campaign with a win over C&D when dropped in class. Likely to need improvement here.

Chester maiden winner and while he failed to win in six subsequent starts in his juvenile campaign, he was third of 29 in a valuable contest at the Curragh in September. Ran okay on sole run here and looks on a fair mark if ready to go on return.

Ran well on debut last year and improved to win twice and place twice in four subsequent runs last year. Remains unexposed but the drying ground may be against him (both wins with soft in the going).

Improved for a mid-season break last year to finish runner-up in a Haydock maiden before another good run in a valuable race at Redcar and a comfortable success when last seen at Leicester. Every chance she will do better as a three-year-old.

Winner of his second start at Thirsk last year and finished a close second over C&D on final start of 2017 in Class 4 company. Return on AW at Chelmsford was underwhelming but better at Doncaster latest. Needs to improve here.

Has run okay on AW this winter but disappointed on handicap debut last time and will need to improve for the switch to turf in first-time blinkers.

Dragons Tail (4/1), Music Society (9/2), Consequences (5/1), Maybride (6/1), Captain Jameson (7/1), Desert Doctor (17/2), Galloway Hills (10/1), Rockies Spirit (12/1), Rebel Assault (12/1), Green Power (25/1)

Verdict

MAYBRIDE showed plenty of promise throughout her juvenile campaign and there's every chance she will prove to be a better three-year-old; she could be the one to beat if ready to go on return. Dragons Tail isn't the most consistent but has course form to his name and Tom Dascombe has already had a winner here this week. Ryan Moore rides the unexposed Music Society. He ran okay last time out despite blowing the start and over-racing in the early stages and could be the main danger.
