Claimed out of James Fanshawe's yard after winning at Wolverhampton in September and did scored twice more there over 1m4f during the winter for current yard. Having belated first start on turf and may be better for this first run of the term.

Four-time Southwell 1m4f h'cap winner second half of 2019 improving 28lb on AW in all. Will be straighter for recent Lingfield pipe-opener but hasn't shown much on turf in four previous attempts and has plenty to prove on this surface.

Placed in 2-3 first runs last season at around this trip in novice company and off the mark on the snow track at St Moritz this winter over 1m. Not seen since last of 8 at Chelmsford in March and steps back up in trip off 3lb lower.

Won three 1m4f Epsom handicaps last season and ran creditably most other outings. Starts back 9lb higher than began last term but was good one length third at Lingfield recently and should be primed for this.

Came good at Lingfield in February 1m4f h'cap landing first success from five attempts. Yet to race on turf but dam won over 1m3f on this surface so fair display not ruled out although stable made a quiet start since return to action.

Distant third and second in novice events first two starts with Hugo Palmer then ran poorly first two runs for current yard. A little better when sixth at Lingfield last week but more needed if she's to get involved.

Off the mark at 11th time of asking winning 1m2f Chelmsford h'cap off 55. Failed by only a neck off 60 when last seen there in March and returns to turf for first time since March 2019 when third at Cork for Ger Lyons.

Decent fourth on debut in Wetherby 1m2f novice in May 2019 but ran poorly both subsequent starts. Makes handicap debut off just 58 for yard in good form at the moment and might be one to go best fresh.

Verdict

Not the deepest of races and a chance for PEACE PREVAILS to open her account for this year. She did well last term winning three times at Epsom and showed plenty on her recent return when third at Lingfield. Alvaro won a Lingfield handicap in February when last in action and might add to that success this term. He won't be far away if ready for this first start back, and Hooflepuff is interesting having her very first start on turf in her 17th race. Blowing Dixie improved a lot on the AW last year but is rated much lower on turf, while Walk It Talk It makes her handicap bow and it wouldn' be a shock to see her shape well off bottom weight.
