Most of his runs and all wins have come left-handed (dual course winner, once over C&D); ran poorly on turf last time back from a 4-month absence. Better judged on his previous form here, usually held-up, best form off a quick return, gets that here.
Never won away from this track (3-6), two wins over this trip to his name; ran respectably last time over 1m2f here (will come on for the run). Still below all the marks that he scored his hat-trick of wins off here in early-2019; on the shortlist.
Modest performer in Ireland on turf; looks to be steadily progressing for this yard on AW, returned a career-best when winning at Kempton (7f, slow) last time (settled better than usual), value for a little extra, up 6lb, still open to progress.
A losing sequence that stretches back 26 starts clearly tempers enthusiasm; well below form since shaping with credit over 1m2f at Lingfield (debut for this yard), poor since, blinkers worn before now return in a bid to find some spark.
Modest handicapper, last successful over this trip at Lingfield a year ago off a 1lb higher mark (did well to win). Failed to win since (some creditable efforts); modest couple of runs at the start of the year, one win came off a break off 147 days.
Handicap newcomer (wears first-time cheekpieces), took a step forward on her third career run over 7f here (modest form). Been handed a workable mark, may do better in this sphere although this isn't a bad race for the grade, others appeal more.
Only seen on three occasions since winning at Wolverhampton in December 2016 off a 4lb higher mark. Career peppered by long absences since then, returned from 20 months off on stable debut last time; little expected this time around.
Modest maiden on the Flat (0-12) who offered very little when tried over hurdles at Fakenham in March (started 50-1). Failed to take advantage of a tumbling handicap mark (originally rated 62); hard to fashion a cogent case for her chance.
No form as yet in minor events with nothing more forthcoming on handicap debut over C&D in a similar type contest (started 33-1). Well beaten on that occasion would need to make considerable progress after an absence to get involved.
Dual C&D winner but his losing run is starting to extend to a worrying length and even from a much reduced mark he's running below form. Only modest these days he would have a chance if rediscovering his form, last win came off 72.
Pulled up over 1m2f here last time (reportedly lost his action); has looked a moody sort in the past. Tried over four different trips since having a wind op prior to this year but not 1m; 0-10 record looks unlikely to be improved upon here.
36 Flat starts to his name and still nothing in the win column to show for those efforts. Started the year out of sorts, has continued that way, off the bridle before most and soon beaten last time; blinkers return, limited interest in his chance.

Compass Point (3/1), Billie Beane (9/2), Musee D'Orsay (11/2), Sharp Operator (15/2), Duke Debonair (8/1), Four Feet (10/1), Lottie Deno (10/1), Arlecchino's Leap (11/1), Miaella (16/1), Deftera Lad (22/1), Fivehundredmiles (28/1), Urban Scene (66/1), Prince Consort (80/1)
Despite the double-figure field not many of these have a clear cut chance and it probably gives Tony Carroll’s MUSEE D’ORSAY a good chance to build on his March Kempton victory where he did well to win having been given plenty to do having raced fairly freely. Stepping up a furlong should suit him and having started life on a basement mark he still looks well handicapped. Sharp Operator usually runs well here especially when he’s had a recent start and like another C&D winner Compass Point provide the main dangers to the selection. Billie Beane and the well handicapped Arlecchino’s Leap are another pair to throw into the place conversation mix.
