Good second on debut over this trip at Newcastle just over a year ago but finished held in three subsequent starts including in a hood (absent here) on handicap debut last July. Worth a check in the market on first start since being gelded.
Seven race maiden was from a break when finishing 7L sixth in a seven runner 6f handicap at Lingfield in March. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and market support would be notable.
Broke his maiden at the sixth time of asking when registering a 3L victory in a 5f novice event at Southwell in March. Best form to date has come on the fibresand and is one for the shortlist on his first start on this surface.
Ended last season in good form following up a 5f victory at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) in September with a good second on good-to-soft ground over the same C&D later that month. One to note on debut for this yard.
Built on a promising third place finish in a 5f maiden at Kempton in early October when victorious over this trip at Chelmsford on handicap debut a month later. Interesting runner despite a wide draw and a 5lb rise in the weights.
Eight race maiden ran well when finishing runner-up over this C&D in December. Return to this distance a positive following a fourth over 6f at Kempton in January but he is more exposed than most in this event.
Maiden winnner over this trip at Dundalk last November and finished a fair 3¼L seventh over a furlong further on handicap debut on his only subsequent start. Hood tried for the first time and worth a check in the market on debut for a new yard.
Placed in a maiden here last October and victorious on fibresand at Southwell subsequently. Finished well beaten over 7f on his three-year-old debut in March however and interesting to see how he performs with the return to this trip likely to suit.
Maiden after six starts and ended his two-year-old campaign by finishing third in a 5f handicap at Musselburgh (soft) in October. Races off the same mark here and likely more needed if he is to make a winning AW debut.
11 race maiden finished a well held sixth in a handicap over an extended 1m here last November. Had wind surgery since but is probably best watched dropping markedly in distance on seasonal reappearance.

Capla Spirit (10/3), Sampers Seven (6/1), Veleta (13/2), Lilkian (13/2), Wade's Magic (7/1), Wilfy (8/1), Olcan (12/1), Live In The Moment (14/1), Shepherds Way (14/1), Bartat (14/1), River of Kings (16/1)
VELETA is taken to defy a wide draw to make a winning seasonal debut in this three-year-old handicap. The selection ended her two-year-old campaign on a winning note and can get the better of surface debutant Capla Spirit who showed good form on fibresand prior to the suspension of racing. Third place can go to Shepherds Way who is making her AW debut and first start since changing stables.
