Making his debut for this yard when finishing 2L third in a handicap over this C&D in March. Races off the same mark here and is one for the shortlist in this contest.
Winner on the Flat last spring for Sir MIchael Stoute and was in good form over hurdles for this yard in the winter. Market support would be notable on his first start since unseating over hurdles at Musselburgh (soft) in February.
Impressed when taking a maiden event at Listowel (7f, yielding) by 4L just over a year ago but disappointed on handicap debut at The Curragh (1m, soft) subsequently. Interesting to see how she fares on stable debut.
Well beaten in recent starts including when fifth over this C&D in March. Has won three times over this C&D in the past however and races off a mark 13lb lower than when winning here in January last year.
Failed to figure in two starts since wind surgery including when 11th on Flat return over 1m at Kempton in February. Probably best watched stepping back up in distance.
Placed twice from five starts including when 2½L second in a handicap over 1m at Chelmsford last November. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and is an interesting runner on her first attempt at this trip.
Good second on debut at Carlisle (1m, good-to-firm) in July 2018 and best effort in three subsequent starts came when 4½L seventh over 1m2f on handicap debut at Newcastle in February. Interesting dropping slightly in distance.
Well held in two starts over this C&D since finishing 4½L second here at the start of January. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and was a C&D winner off this mark back in December last year.
Ended his time with previous stable by finishing sixth in a 1m1f amateurs event at York (good) in July last year. Stamina to prove on her first attempt at this distance.
Completed a C&D double when victorious by ¾L just over three months ago. Performed well when finishing fourth under a penalty in a similar event three days later and is one for the shortlist despite a 6lb rise in the weights.
Seven race maiden showed promise when placed in a couple of 1m events last August. Struggled in two subsequent starts however and is probably best watched on seasonal reappearance.

Squelch (3/1), Let Rip (4/1), Daafr (9/2), Michele Strogoff (6/1), Rudy Lewis (12/1), International Law (12/1), El Picador (14/1), Moxy Mares (14/1), Antico Lady (18/1), Bin Makfi (18/1), Zlatan (25/1), Risaalaat (50/1)
DAAFR was in good form earlier this year winning twice over this C&D and he can register a third win in his last four starts by taking this handicap event. The selection looks capable of getting the better of his rivals here with top weight Let Rip the selection to finish runner-up on his second start for his current yard. Third place can go the way of Squelch who is making his first start of the year and ended his last campaign with a second at Chelmsford in November.
