Five times a winner here, including over 7f in January and then ran well when second on final start behind one from an in-form yard; conditions clearly no problem, drawn well enough and if on a going day, she will have her chance.
Bred to be decent but not really happened as yet; and having had just five starts in two years, appears to have had her issues too; now with new yard, conditions probably fine and only advice is to watch the market for a clue.
Won a claimer here in January, a change of headgear working the oracle, but he's an infrequent winner that is probably happier over shorter (yet to win at this trip) and yard yet to really get going this season.
Bit more consistent than a few of these, although was below par when last seen; conditions no problem and despite a couple fo wins last year, still looks on a workable mark; yard had a winner last week too.
Tailed off over hurdles when last seen but consistent on the Flat. placed in his previosu six starts although the fact he has only won once in 16 starts is a bit of a worry; has gone close over C&D and if fit, has place chances once again.
Thrown in on fifth to Space Blues at Nottingham some 18 months ago but all gone wrong since then and has been tailed off in two starts for this yard; young enough to turn things around but you'd need to see more before getting involved.
Eight wins in 62 starts and ran a bit better than finishing position suggested when last seen here in March; worry would be this trip is very much on the short side for him and on that, is best watched today.
Made all to score at Newcastle in February but that effort very much the highlight of a nine-race career to date; yet to show this trip is what he wants either, and not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.
Maiden after 12 starts and she looks modest; placed a couple of times on this surface but held by Seaforth on December running; tried over further last two starts to little avail, and others readily preferred.

Bell Heather (10/3), Queen Mia (9/2), Troop (9/2), Mabo (11/2), False Id (9/1), Bea Ryan (9/1), Deolali (10/1), Kodiline (12/1), Deftera Lad (20/1), Evolutionary (20/1), Free Gift (50/1)
A wide open handicap to finish the card off with. Bell Heather's record here entitles him to respect and Bea Ryan ought to be better than his current mark, but at a likely bigger price DEFTERA LAD might be worth a try. It basically boils down to whether he has the ability he had a couple of years ago because if he has, this mark is surely not beyond him, and there was just about enough on his final start at Kempton before the break to make you think he is still capble of winning a race of this nature. Mabo still looks ona workable mark and the yard had a good winner at Newmarket last week. He might be the danger.
