Battled to short-head victory at Kempton in June before disappointing at Chepstow last time. Won on turf at Ffos Las last season but remains 6lb higher than that success and has a bit to prove.
Won 6f maiden here four years ago and scored last time out at Leicester over 1m with a bit in hand. Up 6lb but should still go well given manner of that recent success.
Went close over C&D in April last year off off 11lb higher but hasn't won since January that year and returns now following almost 8 months on sidelines. Probably be better for this first start back.
11-race maiden but went close over 6f at Thirsk last year and over 7f at Chepstow last month. Poor effort upped to 1m Wolverhampton last time and has stamina to prove at this trip.
Generally disappointing in four runs last year for John Quinn. Joined current yard in March and went close to winning first time for new connections when second over 1m at Lingfield AW. Solid third over C&D in June and runs here off same mark.
Only form last year came on sixth and final outing when fourth over 9.5f in Wolverhampton h'cap. Showed little first two runs this term but much better latest when second at Chelmsford AW last month off 1lb lower. Chance if able to back that up.
Nathaniel filly who showed very little first three starts but took step forward at Bath 1m2f latest despite being slowly away, finishing third of 9 after running freely. Eased 1lb and yard in fair form so enters calculations back in trip.
All three career wins have come at Brighton, the last two over 1m. Looked to be returning to form when fair fourth at Bath last time so off 3lb lower has to be considered even though she's away from her beloved Downs.
Stable companion of Harlequin Rose. Placed a couple of times at up to 1m2f for Seamus Mullins but has yet to win a race. Well beaten both outings for current yard and is very hard to recommend on recent evidence.
Yet to place in seven starts, the first four for Robert Cowell. Well beaten all three runs last autumn for current yard and not seen since. Looks to have a lot on her plate.
Doesn't lack for consistency having finished last in all four career starts to date. Impossible to fancy and looks set to struggle yet again.

Forecasts
Kodiline (11/4), Crystal Carole (4/1), Master Rocco (4/1), Dancing Jo (13/2), Folie D'Amour (15/2), Mabo (12/1), Harlequin Rose (14/1), Act Of Magic (14/1), Mister Dependable (16/1), Trepidation (20/1), Triple First (40/1), Love Not Money (80/1), Toolmaker (125/1)
With the champion jockey on board KODILINE must have a fine chance of following up his easy Leicester success last time and a 6lb rise might not be enough to halt this in-form gelding. Crystal Carole could be the main danger after a solid run here last time, while Folie D'amour hinted at better to come when third on handicap bow at Bath and this freegoing sort shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip. Unexposed Trepidation is a potential improver, while Mabo has a shout if forgiven a poor run last time having previously won at Kempton in June.
