Comment: Off the mark (seventh attempt) with a clearcut win at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; held in second when odds-on at Redcar (1m6f) the following month but that was another creditable effort and he could find more progress this season; needs close look on his return.

Comment: Has useful pedigree but she ran green and was only fifth of seven on Wolverhampton debut (5f, Tapeta; 17-2) in March; should know more this time but she needs to leave that initial form well behind.

Comment: In good form initially for his current yard but he's beaten just one rival in his last two starts at Newcastle and Chelmsford; eyeshields go on for the first time with much more required after a break.
