Comment: Won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and exploited lower turf mark over C&D (good to firm) last month; seems okay on good to soft ground; Simon Walker rides and he remains well treated on his AW form; strong claims.

Comment: 9yo who may be better suited by AW but has a lower mark to work with on turf and has shown signs of promise this spring for his new yard; has travelled from Newmarket and this stiff 6f should suit; of interest in a first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces).

Comment: Made it 0-18 when soundly beaten on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Carlisle (1m, good to soft); however, the drop back in trip could help and he has an each-way shout on the pick of last season's Irish form; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Comment: A win, on debut, and two seconds from his first three starts but things have been more challenging since handicapping; that said, his reappearance over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago was promising with a view to returning to this trip; dropped 2lb too; yard in form; big player.

Comment: Two 6f wins on good ground last year; slow start to this campaign but he's tumbling down the weights and his latest third of eight at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) was better; runner-up in two of his three runs at Hamilton; each-way contender.

Comment: He had slipped down the weights prior to his good second at Ayr (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, keeping on well behind one that was way ahead of her mark; he was strong in the market that day too which was encouraging; up 3lb but still has plenty of handicapping scope; probably wouldn't want it slower than good.
