9st 7lb

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Kathy Turner

Turf and dual Tapeta winner who justified favouritism with a narrow success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he flopped at Bath (1m, firm) last time and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat.

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground.

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321) and ran well back on turf when beaten a length into third of 11 at Bath (1m, good) last month; gets on well with Laura Coughlan; respected.

8st 13lb

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321; most under Laura Coughlan) with the wins at Wolverhampton over 9.4f and 7f; creeping up the weights and although he had a 1m2f turf win last September, there is something for him to prove in this discipline.

9st 4lb

J: Laura Coughlan

T: Kathy Turner

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (133232); five of those runs have been here, but none was over less than 1m which does pose a question.
