Unbeaten at two, having sprung a 20-1 surprise on debut in a York maiden almost a year ago, before following up under a penalty at Thirsk (both 6f, on good to soft/good to firm). Initial mark reasonable and should be thereabouts in hat-trick bid.
Saw plenty of action as a juvenile, winning two of her 11 starts (both 5f, heavy). Not always consistent, but her best form would put her in the picture here. Likely to need significant rain to produce that, however.
Debut winner of a fillies' novice event at Nottingham 11-months ago (5f, good). Not disgraced in valuable Newbury sales event next time, though held under penalty when last seen on AW in December. Not badly treated though, if on song for her return.
Has run exclusively at Southwell so far, winning when upped to 6f on his second start, last September. Improved on that under his penalty when last seen, and needs to step up again from this initial mark on his reappearance/handicap debut.
Posted a couple of decent second-placed efforts in 5f/6f maidens at the Curragh last year, when with Michael O'Callaghan. Changed hands for 45,000gns last October and makes debut for top stable in good form. Improvement anticipated.
Has already raced 12 times, winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) for Mick Channon 14-months ago, and adding to that for this trainer on AW in November. 4lb higher here and more needed given her two more recent runs.
5f (soft) Nottingham winner on debut last August, but that was by far her best of three runs as a juvenile. Needs to be at her best on her reappearance to be winning from this mark, but that can't be ruled out.
Quite consistent at two, her best effort coming when scoring at Lingfield (6f, AW; second start) in November. Interesting runner here representing good stable with 3lb claimer up, and no surprise if she proves good enough.
Showed bits of promise when trained in Ireland, but immediately stepped up on that when winning on debut for this trainer at Southwell (5f) in February and following up in a Chelmsford handicap (6f). Up 4lb but big player in hat-trick bid.
Dual 5f AW winner under Paul Mulrennan during the winter, the latter when 4lb lower. Either of those efforts would give him a squeak from this mark, but he has to prove he acts as well on turf. Gelded since last run.

Magical Max (9/4), Dancin Inthestreet (10/3), My Friend Stan (13/2), Never In Paris (7/1), Garsman (15/2), Royal Context (9/1), Dream Game (12/1), Ventura Flame (18/1), Mews House (28/1), Ishvara (40/1), Birkenhead (50/1)
Magical Max will surely be popular with punters given his record and he is not taken on lightly on his handicap debut, but the improving GARSMAN catches the eye and is taken to defy his latest 4lb rise and complete a hat-trick. The consistent Dancin Inthestreet merits mention as a potential player, while My Friend Stan could also be heavily involved.
