Came good last season winning four of her last five starts and starts this campaign 19lb higher than the first of those successes. Will probably improve for the run so others are preferred on this occasion.
Both wins have come on AW inlcuding Chelmsford 6f h'cap in March off 74. Good second there recently on first run for three months but has a bit to prove on turf. Wouldn't want soft ground.
Ideally suited by some give in the ground and has optimum conditions when winning at Ripon in May last year off 83. 5lb lower now having struggled second half of 2019 and will probably improve for this first run of the term.
Goes on any ground and won twice last year, including at Nottingham on heavy going in November off 77. Just Ilb higher but better for recent C&D sixth so well worth checking for any market interest.
On 23-race losing run his one and only victory coming in Chelmsford 7f novice event in February 2018. Hinted he may be approaching feasible mark when fifth on return here two weeks ago and has falling to his lowest ever handicap mark.
Won handicaps over 5f and 6f last autumn but begins 2020 season 10lb higher than latter win. Appears to have a bit to find but more improvement this campaign not ruled out.
Grand old timer who has done nearly all his winning at 5f so may find this extra furlong a step too far on first run of the season. Has fallen to a feasible mark though and top jockey booking is noted.

Colonel Frank (5/2), Commander Han (3/1), Fighting Temeraire (4/1), Rock Boy Grey (5/1), Real Estate (6/1), Autumn Flight (13/2), Rose Hip (8/1), Dark Defender (17/2), Shamshon (16/1)
A typically competitive course sprint handicapper. COMMANDER HAN has fallen to a career low mark and with a further 5lb claimed by his good young rider he may be set to strike after a satisfactory recent return run. Colonel Frank also shaped as though his winning turn may be just around the corner with a solid first effort back, and Real Estate has a similar profile. Rock Boy Grey has a bit to prove on this surface but went close at Chelmsford last week and is going the right way.
