Step back up in trip appeared to suit when winning over 1m2f at Ripon (good-to-soft) recently. Raised 5lb for that success and interesting to see how she fares back down in distance.
Built on a promising seasonal reappearance when victorious by a neck in a handicap over this trip at Thirsk (good) last time out. One to note despite a 2lb rise in the weights.
Ended last season with a good second in a heavy ground 6f handicap here in September and showed promise when fifth over 7f at Redcar (good) on seasonal debut recently. Stamina to prove stepping up in trip.
Nine race maiden was beaten 53L in finishing last of six in a seller over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh (soft) last October. Dropping markedly in trip with blinkers returning and tongue tie tried for the first time on seasonal debut.
12 race maiden performed well when finishing a close third to Dreamseller over this trip at Thirsk (good) on seasonal return just under a fortnight ago. Notable runner once more.
Finished runner-up twice at Southwell last autumn but struggled on his final start of the year. Probably best watched with all three previous victories coming at the Nottinghamshire venue.
Twice a winner from 19 previous starts and has placed on three of his four starts since winning by a neck at Ayr (1m, heavy) last August. Interesting contender having won over this C&D in the past.
Returning from a spell over hurdles when finishing third in a 1m handicap at Thirsk (good) recently. Races off the same mark here and is of interest with the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit.
Nine race maiden finished well held at big prices in two novice hurdles in January including on soft ground at Kelso (2m) last time out. Others make more appeal on return to the Flat.
13 race maiden struggled in two starts last autumn including when 11½L ninth over 1m2f at Newcastle in October. Previously well held here and wears a tongue tie for the first time on seasonal debut.
Maiden after ten starts and could finish only eighth in a 1m handicap at Newcastle when last in action back in January. This looks tougher racing from out of the handicap on return from a break.

DREAMSELLER is taken to complete a double by registering a victory in this competitive looking handicap event. The selection was a winner at Thirsk on his most recent start and he can confirm that form with Smeaton who finished third on that occasion. Third place can go to Betty Grable who is dropping in distance having won over further on her most recent outing.
