Rated-62 in the summer of last year when in the hands of trainer Kevin Ryan. Could have been of interest if not for draw.

Nothing of note in a couple of starts here last month and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Solid and consistent at this venue over a variety of trips towards the end of the year including a runner-up position earlier this month over C&D. Draw could be the stumbling block.

5/2
Lightly-raced filly, made every yard to win over C&D a year ago. Achieved nothing of note on turf last summer but has slipped 11lb previous winning mark as highlighted by her second here over C&D last month. Rates a leading contender.

60-rated handicapper for Kevin Ryan a couple of years ago. Without success in seven starts here but ran well in defeat over 6f last month. Place claims.

Generally well held on his last couple of starts here last month. Yet to win in nine AW starts and looks up against it on these terms.

Plenty to take from his 3¾L defeat over C&D last week behind Amanaat. One to note in the market.

Running well in defeat towards the end of the year. Worthy of consideration given the yard have a 33% win and place strike rate at this venue in the last three years throughout January.

Knocking on the door in recent runs around here over C&D. Holds an advantageous draw. Big player if breaking well.

Last of 13 tailed off over 6f beaten 34L when last seen in December. Eight-race maiden here and unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Running well in defeat over C&D in November but has to overcome a detrimental draw in this company and could find life difficult from the start.

One from eight here but was badly out of form before having a year out. 12th of 13 on return to action last month and others preferred here.

Verdict

KENS SAMS could surprise in the opener following up a solid run over C&D earlier this month. The Adrian McGuinness-trained mare can hold off the challenge from Snow Patch, second over C&D last month and potential improver round here, Mercury.
