Out of a half-sister to Prix Robert Papin winner Family One.; two reasonable but unspectacular effforts last season at Carlisle and Redcar; obviously open to plenty of improvement; market support would be interesting.
Yet to record a win in five outings; obviously has talent as he has been well supported on a number of occasions; could well have benefited from his winter break and is one to consider.
Was not the easiest ride last season but showed he had ability with a fair placed effort when last seen at Newcastle in January; if settling better then he should be winning races soon but hard to back with confidence at present.
More exposed than most but experience should stand her in good stead; tried at a variety of trip and goings; best effort came on last run in November at Chelmsford; could go well if she has strengthened up over the winter.
Victorious by 3L in a handicap over this trip at Southwell three starts ago; found life tougher off revised mark including when odds-on favourite; should go well but vulnerable to some less exposed types.
Began to show a bit of promise on final start of last season and not disgraced on seasonal reappearance run at Kempton in March; looks to be going in the right direction and may get in here off a fair mark.
Well exposed now and has never really looked as though he was capable of winning a race; best effort did come at this track in February but disappointed here earlier this week over slightly longer trip; other preferred.
Has yet to convince on the racetrack from three starts; likely to fare better in handicaps but difficult to call as likely winner based on all known form.
Best effort when 5L fourth on debut at Beverley (5f) in April 2019 but has hardly beaten a rival home in three subsequent starts including in a handicap last time at Southwell; not the most obvious winner.
Has beaten just two horses home on her last four starts (all at this track); would be a huge surprise if able to produce a performance good enough to land this.
Slow if unspectacular progress last season; open to more improvement than most of her rivals and certainly one to consider off this mark on debut at this track.

A chance is taken with HAYUPLASS who took a while to get the hang of things on the racecourse but showed on her last appearance at Newcastle that the trainer certainly had something to work with and has been allocated what looks like a reasonable handicap mark to begin with. Another who showed a deal of promise and has not been too harshly treated is The Red Witch. The filly showed she had talent with a useful performance on her second start at Bath and a repeat of that could see her run close. Van Dijk is capable of running well but is a bit inconsistent. He may have solid place claims at this very best.
