C&D winner in September 2018 and won at Wolverhampton over similar trip in January 2019. Left Clive Cox for new yard after latest run in January and returns off 3lb lower mark with a bit to prove.
Only success in 21 attempts came in 1m2f seller at Chepstow in September last year. Went close in C&D claimer after and in Newbury h'cap but fared less well final two starts of the winter and rested since. First run for five months.
Five-time winner including previously for current handler over this trip at Nottingham in 2018 off 6lb higher. Form deteriorated towards end of last season and has always need a run or two to find his form so absence is a negative.
Previous C&D winner who won twice last season at Brighton. Made good start to term when solid second at Leicester 1m2f last week off 2lb lower and every chance she'll be involved here if in a similar mood.
Only win in Wolverhampton h'cap last December over extended 1m1f off 2lb lower,. Not at all disgraced when fair fourth on return at Lingfield a couple fo weeks ago but has to prove she can operate on turf as well.
Broke her duck at 17th time of asking when stayed on well to get up close home in Wolverhampton extended 1m1f h'cap 12 days ago. Wasn't winning out of turn having gone close over 1m previously and certainly worth a try at this trip on turf.
Very ordinary form in three runs last year for Joseph O'Brien and has been gelded and had a wind operation since. Tailed off at Lingfield recently on first start for new yard after year absence and is hard to enthuse over. First-time visor added.
No great shakes judged on three 7f runs last spring and hasn't been seen for over 13 months. Makes handicap bow though off low mark and is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Worth noting any market interest as hails from shrewd yard.
Yarmouth 1m2f h'cap winner last summer off 57 and runner-up in Nottingham h'cap off 4lb higher than that later last term. Slow away then recovered to chase leaders before weakening on recent return at Lingfield and has been eased 1lb. More needed.
Very minor promise on first two of three 7f starts last term. Into handicap for first time and steps up in trip and possible improver given dam stayed well up to 1m4f. New trainer awaiting first winner.

Lyrica's Lion (3/1), Couldn't Could She (4/1), Shaffire (5/1), Triple Nickle (11/2), Elegant Love (13/2), Elsie Violet (10/1), Perfect Refuge (12/1), Destinys Rock (12/1), Glorvina (14/1), Ocean Reach (14/1), For Richard (25/1), Wild Animal (33/1), Petit Bay (40/1), Clarendon (80/1)
It looks like connections mean business with recent Wolverhampton winner SHAFFIRE with the champoion jockey booked in an attempt to follow up off just 3lb higher. She has every chance although this is a tight race. Couldn't Could She looks one of the main dangers after a solid second at Leicester last week, and both Triple Nickle and Destinys Rock should have come on for their respective first starts back after the enforced break. Handicap debutant For Richard didn't show much last term but starts off on a lowly mark and may do better this time round.
