Plenty of from here in the past but hasn't been in the same form for a while. Bit better on latest but it was a slowly run race and does have to back that up although this is the weakest race he has been in for a long time.
Another disappointing effort last time and hard to make a case for in recent efforts. Not hard to look elsewhere.
Still a maiden but plenty of fair efforts, the best of which was his only previous attempt at this trip. More to come and should play a major part.
Not at his best this winter including on Wednesday and although his mark continues to slip, would rather see more before becoming involved.
Switch to front running tactics paid dividends when getting off the mark under today's claimer over C&D last month and now connections have found out how to ride her the 6lb rise may not stop her.
A couple of fair efforts under this apprentice of late at this venue and still hope that there could be more to come for this lightly raced filly.
Beaten off similar marks since switched to this surface and first time blinkers will need to have positive effect for her to lose her maiden tag.
Maiden who is 7lb out of the weights but her slow starts are a bigger concern and first time blinkers on latest didn't work.
Just the three runs and not seen since tried in a claimer last summer. Taking a step up in trip on first run for this yard and only of interest if market speaks in his favour.
No sign of ability and hard to make a case for from 13lb out of the weights even in the first time blinkers.
Sole placed effort was last summer but hasn't been able to build on that and hard to make a case for from 10lb out of the weights.
Much improved effort here last month when, trying to make all, was only reeled in by an improving sort who has followed up since. Slight drop in trip shouldn't be a concern and a repeat would see him go close.

Yarraman (9/4), Royal Admiral (3/1), New Vocation (5/1), Sharjah (7/1), Lusis Naturea (8/1), Caronda (10/1), Ursus Belle (10/1), Another Dressin (16/1), Important Message (20/1), Indian Eye (40/1), Roses Queen (40/1), Beat Of The Sea (50/1), Markus Twain (66/1)
A weak finale and the pace should be strong with NEW VOCATION and Yarraman both improved for front running last time. Narrow preference is for the former with Royal Admiral completing the short list.
