Hints of a little ability in two starts for John Gosden before joined current handler in November. Fair first run at 1m4f in January at Wolverhampton but ran badly there time after and has been rested since. Handicap bow and blinkered first time.

70,000gns Camelot filly who looked a little backward but showed some ability in two starts last term. May do better this campaign and allotted a feasible mark for handicap bow.

Claimed out of Sir Mark Prescott's last term for £5000 after finishing third in Wolverhampton claimer over extended 1m. Won on debut for new yard over extended 1m1f in January and fair fourth of 5lb higher over 1m2f Lingfield time after. Turf debut.

Didn't show too much in three runs at 7f last term prior to being gelded. Makes handicap debut her over much longer trip for handler renowned for placing his horses so well in this sphere. Could easily show plenty of improvement.

Only beat one home on all three starts last season over 7f and 1m but may do better now tackling more of a stamina test. Makes handicap debut and runs for the first time since being gelded last October.

Made very little impression in three runs last year at up to the extended mile but dam won over 1m so no surprise to see him do better this term given a stamina test such as this. Starts handicap career over modest mark.

Verdict

A race full of lurkers, horses who didn't do much last year but may do rather better this time around now stepped up in trip. REVOLVER falls very much into that category and is surely better than we saw last year over 7f. This will be more his cup of tea and he can get the better of former stable companion and AW winner Nikolayeva who has done well for her new yard. Top weight Baltic Wolve hails from an in-form yard and the blinkers may help his cause, while the other four are all potential improvers so the betting market may shed some light on which, if any, are expected to relish this new challenge. My Girl Maggie may do best of this group.
