Got up late to land the odds and overcome a wide draw at Lingfield latest over this trip and 4lb rise and return to turf do little to dampen enthusiasm so he rates a big threat again.
Remains a maiden after 13 starts. He was second of 13 at Yarmouth (1m) last August but form afterwards regressed so questions remain on return to action.
A consistent type but is yet to win on turf (0-5) and needs to dramatically step up from his previous form away from synthetics with eighth of 11 at Bath latest further evidence that he is stronger on AW.
Relishes Southwell's fibresand with a 3-5 record and two thirds in January there most recently. Wasn't as effective earlier on Tapeta and now tries turf for the very first time; market a guide.
Turf winner at Lingfield (7f) last season and ran quite respectably latest at Chelmsford considering she'd been off nine months. 1m a slight worry but go well is she lasts it out.
Has won three times on AW, when running up a hat-trick over 1m-1m2f at Chelmsford in spring 2019. Not as effective on turf, where his only placed effort came over C&D in 2018. Went close last time at Chelmsford, and can't write him off back here.
1-26 career record, having scored at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last July. Well held in all runs since, and not easy to fancy from 1lb 'wrong'.

Pilot Wings (5/2), Compass Point (4/1), Confrerie (9/2), Ifton (5/1), Deftera Lad (11/2), Jazz Hands (7/1), Liam's Lass (10/1), Revolutionary Man (10/1), Bob's Girl (18/1)
A few in-form runners here and preference goes to Lingfield scorer CONFRERIE whose effort must be upgraded given the wide draw he overcame there. Deftera Lad also scored last time out and he is the biggest danger with Compass Point also on the shortlist.
