Switches back to the Flat from hurdling and ran well enough in this sphere last season to be considered.

Improved significantly in handicaps last season with two wins and a second. Up in trip but plenty of stamina in pedigree to suggest it should suit. Eye catching jockey booking and should be ready to fire.

8/1
Last win came off 5lb lower but ran with credit on soft ground on his final start last season when short of room. If fully tuned up can still prove competitive off the same mark.

Drying ground against him when trying to following up on previous impressive success under today's apprentice. Conditions back in his favour and should run a big race on this quick reappearance.

Ran with promise on reappearance last season but subsequently became disappointing. Conditions suit but a fair bit to prove.

9/2
Maiden after six starts and drop in trip doesn't jump out as suiting following her reappearance. Probably has more to offer but needs to find something on these terms.

Twice a course winner whose last win came here off just 1lb higher. Definite possibilities with conditions to suit.

Hasn't suggested he needs this far in five starts on AW and tough ask on turf debut from 4lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Belisa (11/4), Framley Garth (11/4), Sula Island (9/2), Walsingham Grange (5/1), Take A Turn (8/1), Gravity Wave (12/1), Tyrsal (14/1), Dora's Field (14/1), Ignacio Zuloaga (22/1)

Verdict

BELISA ended last season as a nicely improving filly and has to be respected first up for a shrewd trainer with more to come at this extra distance. Framley Garth gets conditions back in his favour and will be a big danger backing up quickly. Gravity Wave showed promise when last seen and has each-way hopes on his reappearance.
