Southwell runner-up SAM'S HOPE is taken to go one better and record a first success since joining her current stable. Match Anthem (second choice) and Pessoa are solid dangers on recent form, while Pembrokeshire has possibilities if helped by the cheekpieces and Baroque Pearl may take a step forward.[Steve Boow]

Best effort for current yard when third off a higher mark over C&D in December; seemingly not beaten entirely by the 6f trip in three runs since and remains a maiden.
Lacks recent match practice, having been absent since a below-par effort over C&D in October, and it's two years since his sole win; not the percentage call.
Below form in two starts this year for new stable, taking AW record to 0-13; however, has possibilities off a reduced mark provided he takes well to added cheekpieces.
Best effort since joining current stable when runner-up at Southwell (7f) last time; capable of going one better, having defied a 3lb higher mark at Kempton last March.
Campaigned mostly at Wolverhampton, winning four times, most recently in early 2024; largely consistent form over 7f-9.5f of late; on a workable mark and not ruled out.
Has developed into a consistent sort, having posted form figures of 1142233 since November; gained one of the wins over C&D; again holds a solid chance.
Met trouble in classified event here last week; won off this mark over C&D in January but benefited from a pace collapse; strong gallop is ideally needed.
Classified form this year features 6f wins in January/February and a respectable effort over C&D (second run for new yard) last week; 0-14 in handicaps.
The least exposed contender, having raced only four times; holds weak claims on form but may show improvement on handicap debut with Hollie Doyle up for first time.
