Rhythmic Acclaim, who has a good record at Yarmouth and won on this card 12 months ago, could come on significantly for last month's run at Wolverhampton, but the candidate with the most potential is NORTH VIEW (nap) and George Boughey's new recruit is taken to make a winning reappearance. The drop back from 7f to 6f could be ideal. Third on the list is Dorney Lake on his debut for Michael Bell.[Richard O'Brien]

Both wins for the Gosdens came at 6f (good/good to firm); unplaced last five 3yo starts but he ran in some warm races and returns for a new stable (having been sold for 18,000gns and gelded) off a career-low mark; possibilities if revived by a change of scenery.
Cosy winner in a big field at Newbury last August, and again performed well when second of 12 at Kempton (also 7f) the following month on final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam; subsequently sold for 95,000gns and gelded; returns to the fray with untapped potential, and the way he travels suggests this drop back in distance will be in his favour; major player.
Comes here fit from an AW campaign, posting a career best when making all under Kaiya Fraser at Newcastle (6f) in March; ridden less positively when only fifth of 12 at Kempton next time; just as effective on grass and may well bounce back.
Seemed suited by the drop to 5f when winning here (good to firm) and Leicester (soft) in second half of last season and had possibly gone over the top by his final start; may improve a bit further this term but his best form remains at the minimum trip; stablemate of Rhythmic Acclaim.
In fine form last October, ridden up with the pace when rattling off a quick hat-trick over C&D and at Windsor and Brighton; still on a fair mark judged on the pick of his 2yo form but today's ground could be a bit quicker than ideal (very best efforts on softer than good).
Now back below her last winning mark; probably needed her Wolverhampton reappearance five weeks ago and she's better on turf than AW; won on this card on good to firm ground 12 months ago; in the mix again.
