7/2
Put in a solid stint when third of 12 at Newmarket last month and merits consideration for a place at least, as she runs from the same mark here. A bonus that she acts at this course and her rider pitches in with a 7lb claim; can be thereabouts.

Went close on three occasions last summer and is well handicapped in comparison to the best of her 2019 displays. A poor effort latest needs to be forgiven, though.

Back from a long break with a comfortable success at Windsor last month (5f, good to firm), but hit with a 10lb higher mark as a result. Did run well here as a juvenile but never won from a rating this high and a personal best is required.

On a winning mark and respected on the pick of his form; is rated higher on the AW these days but does have a respectable record on this type of surface, too. Has won under today's rider, so dangerous to rule out now he's back on turf.

Edged out Pink Flamingo when winning over C&D last September and certainly merits consideration from a 4lb lower mark. He's tended to need at least a couple of runs to be at his best in the past; the betting can guide for now.

Won three times at this course and still retains enthusiasm despite his advanced years. He goes well at this time of year and should be sharper after a couple or outings over the last month; yard is quiet but he's otherwise got a lot going for him.

Already a dual course winner and posted another solid effort over the extended 5f here last October; but brushed aside at Chepstow yesterday; might have needed the run but looking high in the weights at present.

Won here twice last year but lost his way shortly after; now back on a highly competitive mark as a result. Last two starts have left a good deal to be desired so does need to up his game to stop the rot setting in.

Won his first three starts after joining his current yard last summer but they were modest races and the gelding struggled to hold his own from the revised mark afterwards. Nudged down just 1lb, this is no easy task for his reappearance run.

10/1
Dual winner on the AW at the turn of the year but weighted to her limit and needs to run a lot better than she did at Windsor on her reappearance last month. She was a bit too keen that day but still has something to find on these terms.

Due to drop 1lb in the ratings and is close to a winning mark; also positive that he's gone well at this course before; but he's best when able to dominate and will have to work hard to grab the lead from his wide draw.

Forecasts

Pink Flamingo (7/2), Secretfact (9/2), Iconic Knight (6/1), Bay Watch (15/2), Storm Melody (10/1), Zac Brown (10/1), Knockabout Queen (10/1), Secret Potion (10/1), Bhangra (10/1), Haveoneyerself (11/1), Waseem Faris (20/1), Archimedes (40/1)

Verdict

Secretfact and Wasim Faris have decent course form that gives them reasonably solid claims; comments that also apply to Secret Potion and Storm Melody, who are both respected on the pick of their efforts and help make this a tricky one to fathom. However, PINK FLAMINGO created the impression that her turn isn't too far away after a near miss at Newmarket last time out and, considering she was rated 8lb higher at the end of the 2019 turf campaign, she looks worth chancing on these terms. Bhangra still has scope and, as she gets plenty of weight from the selection, she's also feared. Haveoneyerself is respected but a 10lb hike is harsh.
