There's good pace among the low numbers, notably from Bankrupt and Suanni, and this may be set up for something. Sir Benedict is one to consider, despite stall 11, for a yard among the winners, along with Kipp Kelly, who hasn't had much luck of late, but Rossa Ryan is a positive booking for SECOND COLLECTION, who gets the nod.[Graham Wheldon]

Can hang right and isn't as good now but he arrives off the back of two solid efforts and is well drawn for a front-runner; is a dual C&D winner too, so there are positives.
Front-runner who was entitled to have needed his recent comeback for new connections after 18 months off; unsurprisingly faded late at Southwell (6f) and there can't be any complaints about stall 2.
Consistent gelding who's won three here in recent times, latterly when edging out Suanni (Second Collection third) over C&D last month; looks set to go well again.
Maiden who tumbled down the weights last year; is competitive again now and hasn't had much luck, finding trouble at a key stage on his latest start, so is one to consider.
Wind surgery has helped, with two Chelmsford wins in the winter, but a lesser latest effort behind Bankrupt will need forgiving; can go well fresh, though, so a 52-day break shouldn't have hurt.
Most wins have come in the second half of the year, mainly on turf, and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught first time out; others have more pressing claims.
Could never quite reach a challenging position over C&D three days ago, from the same stall; has been threatening at this level of late, however, and Rossa Ryan taking over is an obvious bonus.
Dual Southwell winner this time last year for the cheekpieces going on and offered more in a race not run to suit back in headgear 11 days ago; is usually dropped in and may be again from stall 11, in which case he'll need the breaks.
Wins have come mainly from the front and he came back to form when making most behind Global Effort over C&D last time (0-50 classified); is 2lb better off with that one and has a handy draw.
Likes it here and can go well fresh but he's getting on and isn't best drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, especially with other pace on his inner; hasn't won away from Bath since his 3yo days.
