Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field.

Ex-French; low-key stable debut at Haydock in April but he fared much better when sixth, beaten under 3l, behind stablemate Supido here (7.6f, good) 24 days ago; he hasn't fared so kindly with the draw this time.

Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus.

Found the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes all too much for her on her reappearance but she left it behind on her handicap debut, enjoying a charmed run up the inside to score comfortably in a C&D handicap 24 days ago; up 5lb and drawn even wider today; another career best is required.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt as a 2yo, winning a 6f fillies' novice decisively; stronger form when coming from off the pace to win a Class 4 handicap at Southwell last month but she was beaten fair and square at Yarmouth two weeks later (7f, good to firm); return to 6f can help but Champonie may prove the yard's main hope.

Won a big-field nursery (6f, good to firm) at last season's Ebor meeting; good second to Cherry Baker over C&D on her seasonal reappearance and 4lb better off with that rival today; drawn in stall 1 on that occasion but she's widest today which makes it easy enough to look elsewhere.

Easily won a 5f maiden at Chepstow on her second 2yo run; never in the hunt behind Cherry Baker on her seasonal/handicap debut here 24 days ago but the run wasn't without hope, drawn wide in stall 12, racing freely under restraint and not enjoying a clear passage at a crucial time; stall 9 again not ideal but she's one to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive.

Front-running wins in a Southwell novice (1m) and Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f; with authority) in his only two AW races; those were way better than turf performances at Newmarket on debut and in 1m2f handicap (good to firm) on latest outing, which is a concern even though these are early days.

After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect.

Last of nine on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW; 11-1) in March but won starts either side in a maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW; made all) and eight-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good; always prominent); the latter was by a short head at 25-1 but she's gone up just 3lb since that rallying display and that does not look harsh.

Finished closer each time in his three-race 2yo career and met trouble in running when fourth of nine at Haydock (1m, good) on final outing, looking on an even keel only very late in the day when running on well; gelded the following day; highly likely to stay and he's a fascinating handicap newcomer who needs a close look for any strength behind him in the betting.
