Dunaden filly who made belated racecourse debut here over 1m last month and suffered an injury to her mouth. She wasn't totally disgraced and steps up in trip now but her future is expected to lie in handicaps.
Will have benefitted from debut effort when seven-length seventh to decent Worthily in Newbury 1m2f maiden last month. Should win a race or two down the line but this again looks a tough ask.
Exceed And Excel gelding who showed promise only start last term and again on reappearance in 1m2f maiden here last month. Going the right way and he is equipped with first-time cheekpieces.
Narrowly denied in 1m2f novice on debut at Lingfield in December and solid second on latest start back at Doncaster. The addition of cheekpieces may well further help his cause.
Gelded son of Gleneagles out of dam placed in Listed company at 6f. Didn't show much when distant seventh on racecourse bow over 1m2f at Chelmsford earlier this month and looks to have plenty on his plate in this company.
Handled soft ground well when length second on debut over 7f at Newmarket last November but was a well-held fifth on return to action over 1m at Kempton last month. Takes step up in trip here but there is some stamina on the dam's side.
Excelebration gelding who has been well held in both runs to date over 1m2f. Represents yard in good form but more than likely his future lies going handicapping later in the season.
Hasn't showed very much in either run so far and this gelded son of Gleneagles appears to face a tough task. Needs to take a massive step forward to have any chance.
Daughter of Zoffany who's dam won over 1m5f so there should be stamina to burn. Had wind surgery prior to racecourse debut here 1m2f last month where ultimately well held. May need more time.
22,000gns Oasis Dream filly out of maiden dam who is closely related to a Group 2 1m4f winner. Didn't show much on debut but appeared to have learned plenty when pleasing fourth in Kempton 1m maiden last month. Longer trip should suit.
40,000gns daughter of Australia but has shown little form to speak of in runs at Chelmsford and Leicester so far. Others make far more appeal on evidence to date.
Raven's Pass filly who made a decent start finishing fifth at Kempton 1m3f last month but ran a shocker last time at same venue finishing tailed off. Hard to get excited about her chance on that effort and may find this a tough task.

Godolphin appear to hold the aces here with BACK FROM DUBAI narrowly preferred to First Winter. Both are equipped wth first-time cheekpieces but the selection did little wrong last time when third here despite being hit on the nose by a rival jockey's whip. He can gain compensation here. First Winter caught a tartar when second last time and can go close again if ridden with a touch more restraint. Kimberley progressed nicely from her first to second run and there could be more improvement to come as she is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Concidence is bred to be decent but was never at the races on debut after starting slowly. He can do better this time.
