Salaria (second choice) and Precious Spartan finished a close second and third respectively at Redcar earlier this month and the former can confirm the placings as she is less exposed than her old rival. However, there are a few in here who could step up plenty on what they have shown so far, such as French Haven and Blue Tempus, but it may be worth siding with GRIZZIEBLANCA. A half-sister to two winners, connections have wasted no time in getting her handicapped having only made her debut this time last month.[David Bellingham]

Yet to build on her promising fifth of 11 on her Goodwood debut (7f, good to firm) last summer, but may have needed her recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW); this slightly longer trip on a stiff track should suit on pedigree; considered.
Out the back at big prices in three starts at around 1m on a soft surface last autumn; makes his handicap debut after six months off having been gelded in the meantime, but is bred to appreciate this longer trip; market informative.
All three starts on the AW last autumn, finishing well beaten in the first and last but showing ability when fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m) in between; should stay this far on breeding so watch market on handicap/turf debut after five months off.
Has gone close a couple of times, as when beaten a neck on her turf debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) this month (a neck in front of Precious Spartan); only 1lb higher so a player, especially if benefiting from the cheekpieces.
All four starts on the AW, finishing fourth of seven on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f) 15 days ago; return to this trip may suit given he took a keen hold there; each-way claims,
Well held in five starts including on stable debut after seven months off (had been gelded) at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 15 days ago; visor replaces blinkers; others more solid.
Only made her debut this time last month and has finished well held in three starts over 7f/8.6f on good ground/AW; half-sister to two winners and not a surprise if she takes a step forward on handicap debut.
Huge prices and has beaten a total of one rival in three starts over 7f/1m on the AW this year; bred to be much better than that and interesting to see how she fares in the market on handicap/turf debut.
Has shown ability as when third of nine at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time, finishing a neck behind Salaria; 1lb better off, but is more exposed than his rival after ten starts so needs a bit more to get off the mark.
