Successful twice on the AW in the past including at this venue and ran well when finishing a close third over 1m3f at Kempton last October. Worth a check in the market on her seasonal reappearance.
Returned from a break with a 1L victory in a heavy ground 1m handicap at Haydock last August. Performed well when 2L second over the same C&D the following month and is of interest on his first attempt at this distance.
Built on a couple of promising placed efforts when winning over an extended 1m2f at Angers (very soft) last October. Purchased by current connections for 60,000 gns subsequently and is one to note on her debut for this stable.
Victorious five times in 2019 including by a short-head over this C&D last September. Raised 2lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist having run well first time out in the past.
Winner on the Flat in France early last year but has pulled up on two of his four hurdles starts since joining this yard and is probably best watched on his return to the Flat.
Successful over C&D in August last year but finished held on both subsequent starts including when last of 14 over 1m at Kempton in October. Likely to improve for his seasonal reappearance.
Changed stables since finishing 10½L seventh of ten over 1m4f at Ripon (good-to-soft) last September and market support would be notable racing off a mark 5lb higher than when winning over this trip at Newbury (good) in August.
Registered a victory in a 2m maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (good-to-soft) in March on his fourth start since joining this yard. Interesting runner on Flat return having won off a 3lb lower mark at Ripon (good-to-soft) in August 2018.
Placed on his final three starts of the 2019 campaign including when beaten ¾L in a first time visor (replaced with cheekpieces here) over this C&D in November. Worth a check in the market racing off the same mark in this contest.
Returned from a break with a heavy defeat in a 1m handicap at Kempton in November. Races off a 2lb lower mark here but has to prove his stamina on his first attempt at this distance.

Barossa Red (3/1), Mayfair Spirit (7/2), Ritchie Valens (4/1), Amjaady (11/2), Rhosneigr (17/2), Agent Zigzag (14/1), Geetanjali (16/1), Masked Identity (16/1), Marbella (20/1), Secret Art (33/1), Rafiot (66/1)
Trainer Andrew Balding can boast a 25% strike-rate (6/24) since racing resumed and his representative BAROSSA RED can make his first start over this trip a winning one by taking the final race on the card. The selection has won off a break in the past and he can get the better of Mayfair Spirit who was narrowly beaten over this C&D last September and has a good record fresh. Third place can go to Marbella who is making her first apperance since joining her current stable from France.
