16/1

Well held in sole bumper. Seemed to show fair form when fifth on Wolverhampton Flat debut 3 months later but not in the same form when a remote fourth at Lingfield (AW) since.

18/1

Lope De Vega gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to smart 7f winner Rehana. Has had wind surgery ahead of this rather belated debut. Betting the best guide to expectations.

5/6

Modest form in his 2 starts but he hails from a top stable and won't need to improve that much to play a prominent role here.
