9/4
C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 8 over C&D (good, 17/2) 15 days ago. Can play a part if a wide draw isn't too big an inconvenience.

12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on reappearance 23 days ago but should be sharper for the outing and she's well treated on the pick of last year's turf form.

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Best run when fifth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 23 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

9/1
Notched 3 turf wins in 2021 but has drawn a blank since. Her mark has come down as a result, though, and she wasn't beaten far when last of 7 at Southwell 23 days ago. Back on turf for the first time this year.

Modest maiden. Shaped as if needing run when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 22/1) on reappearance 35 days ago. May fare better this time.

Well held in 3 outings over 6f last autumn but more realistic chance now handicapping at a modest level on reappearance. One to note in the betting.

Forecasts

High Security (9/4), Harry With Style (7/2), Imperial Khan (4/1), Van Gerwen (4/1), Emeralds Pride (9/2), Sharrabang (9/1), Snow Berry (9/1), Golden Prosperity (22/1), Howyadoin (22/1), Roman Blaze (25/1), Star Of Havana (40/1), Sir Arthur's Boy (80/1)

Verdict

The handicapper might have taken a bit of a chance dropping EMERALDS PRIDE for a reappearance run which she may simply have needed and she's on a good mark based on her 2022 exploits. Van Gerwen is getting on a bit now but showed he can still make an impact from his reduced mark when narrowly denied at Ripon recently. The shortlist is completed by Stella Barclay's Sharrabang.
