A half-sister to the yard's C&D winner Angle Land, Rebel Star remains open to improvement on just her second turf start and she will rightly be popular in a weak-looking handicap. IT'S SHOWTIME returns to grass on a handy mark, though, and she gets the nod back in headgear.[Graham Wheldon]

Won five for Dylan Cunha in the early months of last year, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; finished well held for her new yard early in the month and faded quickly back down to 5f having led at one stage yesterday (both at Wolverhampton).
Has gained a lot of his wins later in the year and hasn't shone in his two starts here; resumed on the AW a fortnight ago weighted to his best after two wins last autumn and didn't offer any immediate promise.
Dual 2yo winner for Ed Dunlop but struggled during a limited campaign last season before being sold for 8,000gns; the handicapper's proving quick to ease off but he pulled hard when a well-beaten last for his new yard (AW) last month.
Wins have all come on the AW, mainly at Lingfield, and he hasn't run on turf since 2022; has been in fair form of late, without much luck, and has a 5lb lower mark on grass, so a case could be made in a weak handicap.
It's not hard to argue she's better on turf than the AW and she's well treated, being 7lb lower than when going close over C&D last summer (behind Rebel Star's half-sister Angle Land); the return of the usual headgear/tongue-tie is a positive too.
Came away with an improver at Lingfield last month and again did nothing wrong in defeat last time, making it three seconds in a row; the visor has clearly helped and she's on the shortlist upped a fair 2lb.
Doesn't run often on turf but goes well here and is far better treated than on the AW; pestered in front when last of five behind Rebel Star last time and is capable of better on much more favourable terms.
Longstanding, low-level maiden who hasn't run on turf in almost three years; has been doing her racing of late over 6f and is again some way down the pecking order.
