Maiden who hasn't always looked straightforward, but he did run up to best when third in 5-runner Lingfield handicap (10f) 2 days ago, not quicken late on having been well positioned. Possibilities returned to this trip.

Dandy Man filly. Showed ability on first of 3 starts in novice/maidens at 6f but easy to back and failed to improve when twelfth of 13 on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 2 weeks ago, weakening 1f out. Cheekpieces go on now.

6/4, ran up to best when third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 2 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there.

Shalaa half-sister to 2 winners abroad, including French 1m winner Forchester. Limited impact in trio of maiden/novice events at up to 7f in recent months and progress required to figure on handicap bow.

Kodiac filly who merely hinted at ability in trio of turf maiden/novice events during the summer. Has been given a break ahead of this handicap/AW debut, so worth monitoring in the betting for clues.

Maiden who again failed to make a meaningful impact when fifth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, ridden early in straight and not quicken. Blinkers replace visor here but he does need to settle better.

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 40/1) 7 days ago, beaten over 2f out and eased off. Drops back significantly in trip here with blinkers enlisted.

Thirteenth of 14 in nursery at this course (6f, 40/1) 16 days ago, weakening 2f out. That was her first start for 4 months but balance of her form suggests she may well be vulnerable to a couple again in any case.
