Despite a record of 0-22 on turf Embarked is still a contender after his good effort at Yarmouth a week ago, while Comedian Leader could also play a part if transferring her recent AW form back to turf. The choice, however, is the top-weighted HELLAVAPACE who is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D on fast ground last September.[David Bellingham]

Recent form has an uneven look to it, but her record here reads 7232315 and she is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D (good to firm) last September; high on list.
0-22 on turf, but having dropped 17lb since the autumn he ran well when second of 15 at Yarmouth (1m, good) a week ago; back up 2lb but still one for the shortlist in an uncompetitive race; stable also runs Maguire.
Running well on the AW lately and all five wins have come on artificial surfaces; 0-11 on turf, but she has run well on grass including on fast ground; has to be a contender.
7-43 on the AW including two wins over 1m at Chelmsford since last August; 0-7 on turf and although able to race off a much lower mark back on grass, he makes limited appeal.
Last three wins have come over 7f here on good/good to firm, the latest off 3lb higher a year ago; she does look better over shorter, though, while her record suggests this first start in 162 days may be needed.
