A few of these are making their handicap debuts and the market should indicate whether improvement is expected. Me Tarzan is much respected, with the step up to 1m likely to suit, while Amber Honey comes from a successful family so further improvement wouldn't be a surprise. However, the vote goes to LATONA, who didn't deliver what had seemed likely here last time but travelled well into the race and may have been at a disadvantage in being stuck out on a wing. This is also a drop in class.[David Bellingham]

Unplaced all six starts and didn't deliver as much off the bridle as seemed likely when sixth of 12 over C&D (good) this month, but she was rather stuck out on a wing and this is a drop in class; could go well.
Held in three starts over 7f on the AW but ran better when fifth of 11 on handicap/turf debut at Redcar (1m, good) 15 days ago; half-sister to seven winners and no surprise if she progresses a bit more.
Steadily progressing at a modest level and, having been gelded, he shaped as though this trip would suit when third of 13 at Kempton (7f, AW) 13 days ago; has run well on turf and is respected.
Out of the frame in all six starts on the AW, though has hinted at ability on a couple of occasions; bred to be better than he has shown thus far, but will need to improve for the switch to turf.
Narrowly failed to land a gamble on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in February but hasn't built on that effort over different trips since; has a bit to prove back on turf but worth a market check; stable also runs No Gain.
Beaten a long way at big prices in three starts over 7f/1m on soft/good to firm ground in the autumn; improvement needed on handicap debut after six months off.
Well beaten at triple-figure prices in three starts over 5f-1m on heavy/AW; tongue tied on handicap debut and probably of interest only if attracting support.
Improved plenty on previous efforts when third of eight on nursery debut at Brighton (6f, soft) last September, but well held in three subsequent starts over the same trip on AW; enough to prove for now, not least stamina; stable also runs Late Star.
Wastes no time in switching to a handicap on turf debut having been well held in three starts over 6f/7f on AW last month; the longer trip should suit and cheekpieces are added to the tongue-tie; watch the market.
Greatly improved when beaten less than a length into fourth of nine on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW; 80-1) in February, but didn't back it up at Chelmsford (7f, AW) this month; needs to bounce back.
