Inconsistent performer on the AW but with six wins on an artificial surface. Races off 10lb lower but yet to place in eight starts on turf. Others more convincing.
Eight-race maiden went close on his last couple of starts last year but has proven very disappointing in both starts this campaign and plenty more required. First-time visor added.
First run since February and has tended to need his first run back. Concern that he has yet to win on turf but has gone close. Comes off the back of some decent AW form so has to be respected.
Has been second or third on 15 occasions but just the one win from 39 starts overall. Running below her best on her last few starts so others more convincing.
Twice a winner late last year and remains just 2lb higher than the last of them. Would appreciate a fair degree of rain off the back of a decent fourth on ground quicker than ideal at Ayr.
Sole win from 26 starts came in the basement grade so not one to get carried away with for win purposes. Place possibilities again off the back of two seconds but any rain would be a negative.
Has failed to progress from some promise shown in early 2018 and remains a maiden after 16 starts. Not far away last twice on the AW but yet to place in seven turf runs.
Yet to place in five turf starts while being 2lb lower than sole win for previous yard. Well beaten in two runs for new yard and hard to fancy at present.
Six-race maiden showed some promise when third at Redcar in October and then out of her depth on final start last year in Listed company. Struggled on reappearance but could show more in this lesser grade.
Just two wins from 36 turf starts and best turf form has come on quick ground. Has struggled since arriving at this yard in August last year and remains best watched.
Longstanding maiden without a win after 49 starts. Recent form isn't anywhere near good enough and hard to have any faith in.
Winner at Wolverhampton in February made it nine wins on the AW. Without a win and just one second from 13 outings on turf and form since win has been poor. Others preferred.
Remains a maiden after nine starts and has shown no signs of threatening to get into the money. Poor form in handicap company so far and hard to make any sort of case for.
Eight-race maiden has been sent off at long odds on all starts so far while showing little signs of being competitive. Easy to overlook.
Forecasts
Tadaany (9/2), Dalness Express (6/1), Miracle Garden (7/1), My Society (8/1), Coastal Cyclone (9/1), Viking Way (10/1), First Excel (10/1), Mother of Dragons (12/1), Red Allure (12/1), Ingleby Molly (14/1), Major Crispies (20/1), Caledonian Gold (20/1), Lisnamoyle Lady (40/1), Tilsworth Rose (66/1), Black Truffle (66/1)
The second division again lacks any depth as would be expected at this level. FIRST EXCEL comes here off the back of some good AW form and his record on turf, despite the lack of a win, shouldn't be underestimated. Tadaany ran well on ground quicker than ideal last time and any rain would bring him right into contention. First-time cheekpieces and a drop in class could see some improvement from Red Allure.
