18/5
C&D winner last summer (good to soft) having scored on the AW At Kempton nine days previous. Attempts something similar now on the back of his winning return at Lingfield eight days ago and clear chance despite never having won off mark this high.

Scored last summer in a 1m Sandown event for lady amateur riders but has shown very little in four runs since, including this month's reappearance at Kempton (1m2f, AW; 80-1) where he was always in rear and beaten 24L.

Teofilo gelding, a maiden winner in France with some fair form on his CV; hooded on British debut and needs some scrutiny in the betting from what appears a fair starting point.

28/1
33-1 winner of a Lingfield turf novice on debut in 2018; shaped with some purpose in three turf starts last summer and the Mukhadram needs monitoring returning to action have eased 4lb in the ratings.

7/1
Won her novice on the Polytrack at Kempton in March 2019 in determined fashion over a mile; unable to make much impact in trio of handicaps, including 1m2f contest here last July, but could be more to come this year.

14/1
Dual winner at Wolverhampton last season over extended-mile but form tailed off around the turn of the year. Should be sharper for comeback at Kempton and would have strong claims from this rating if recapturing 2018 turf form.

Dead-heated in a 7f maiden here in 2018; mixed bag since but closely matched with Sea Fox on October's Wolverhampton third. Returning from winter layoff but booking of Ryan Moore is an eyecatcher.

Eight-race maiden has shown ability since joining this yard from Andrew Balding last summer; has definite scope for better and any market confidence would be worth noting on seasonal bow.

18/1
Improved on the AW in the spring, scoring at Wolverhampton in March (7f) and running a big race under 5lb penalty at Kempton (1m) three days later. Now rated 6lb higher for turf return but further progress likely from lightly-raced four-year-old.

Sent off fav for a bumper at Warwick in November on debut (soon beaten) but has since shown promise in AW novices under patient tactics. Raced much more prominently on h'cap bow at Wolverhampton (1m1½f; 33-1) in March but faded late. More needed.

5/1
Recent comeback at Kempton was a rare poor effort; doesn't win often (1-18, placed eight times) but now operating from career-low rating and no surprise to see a strong effort under confident Hollie Doyle here. Blinkers left off.

Forecasts

Fortune And Glory (18/5), Puerto Banus (9/2), Merweb (5/1), Sheila's Showcase (11/2), Madame Tantzy (7/1), Zephyrina (10/1), Sea Fox (14/1), Yagood (14/1), Latent Heat (18/1), Nearly Perfection (25/1), Knightshayes (28/1), Biotic (33/1)

Verdict

No shortage of chances in this line-up; with C&D winner Fortune And Glory attempting to follow a familiar path in backing up a recent AW score with success here. He's respected but will need more to defy this mark. Sea Fox would hold outstanding claims if rediscovering his 2018 turf form, while his AW efforts bring Sheila's Showcase into the reckoning with Ryan Moore booked to ride. French import Yagood needs a look but MERWEB is a consistent sort and could take advantage of a mark of 66 with a run behind him and the in-form Hollie Doyle returning in the plate once again.
