Performed well on both starts so far this year following up a fourth over an extended 1m1f here in February with a 2¾L third over the same C&D in early March. Races off a 1lb lower mark here and is of interest having won over this trip in the past.
Wore a visor (retained) for the first time when finishing 4½L fourth in a handicap over an extended 1m1f here back in March. Dropped 1lb for that effort and is one to note stepping back up in distance.
Dual winner on the AW most recently over an extended 1m1f here in February last year. Races off a 3lb lower mark here but has to prove his stamina on his return from an unsuccessful spell hurdling if he is to take this event.
Fair effort in finishing sixth in a 2m handicap hurdle at Newcastle (soft) in January. Interesting to see how he performs as he seeks a first victory on the AW at the 12th time of asking.
Well beaten in two starts over this distance earlier this year including when 15½L ninth at Kempton in March. Well handicapped on his old form but probably best watched at present.
12 race maiden has had wind surgery since finishing 36L seventh over an extended 2m in a maiden hurdle at Taunton (good) last October. Others make more appeal on his first Flat start since last August.
In decent form over jumps last summer placing twice prior to finishing 20L fourth over an extended 2m at Stratford (good) in September. Notable runner on his debut for a new yard.
Placed on two of his last three starts including when 5½L third over 1m4f at Southwell in early March. Has won over this C&D in the past and is worth a check in the market as he seeks a first victory since September 2018.
C&D winner finished a good 3L fourth in a 1m5f handicap at Lingfield in February but failed to back that up when well beaten over an extended 1m1f here subsequently. Step back up in distance a positive.
Victorious over this trip on heavy ground at Ffos Las (heavy) for previous yard in September 2016 but has been racing over hurdles since joining this stable. Market support would be notable racing off her last winning mark on her Flat return.

Robeam (7/2), Cafe Sydney (9/2), Competition (5/1), Taurean Dancer (5/1), Aria Rose (13/2), Sunshineandbubbles (12/1), Ravenous (12/1), Howardian Hills (14/1), Chelsea's Boy (20/1), Precision Prince (25/1), Homing Star (28/1)
CAFE SYDNEY showed good form over shorter earlier this year and he can defy top weight to take this 1m4f handicap event. The selection is taken to see off Competition who has joined a useful yard for his return to Flat racing while third place can go to Taurean Dancer who should appreciate the return to this trip having finished fourth over shorter last time out.
