Marmoga
Unplaced in three AW starts but she made a successful transition to turf handicaps when getting up late to beat Spanish Mane at Yarmouth three weeks ago (7f, good); up 3lb but cheekpieces are now added and she remains capable of better; high on the list.

Clipsham La Habana
Won twice on AW (6f) in late 2022; drawn a blank since and although he's tumbled down the weights, he's been in and out on AW this winter; drops into a Class 6 now but others appeal more.

Gamblers Kitty
Eight-race maiden; absent since finishing down the field at Kempton (1m; set strong pace) in October; may yet do better but an easy lead seems unlikely.

Danzart
Reeled off a hat-trick in May/June 2023 but hasn't added to his tally since and still 2lb higher than for the last win; reappearance at Newcastle five weeks ago could hardly have been more eyecatching, however, held up in rear while racing freely and then short of room when initially asked for his effort (rider suspended for ten days for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to ensure that he obtained the best possible placing); crossed the line full of running and should be well up to making an impact at this level; the continued absence of the hood casts a doubt today though.

Travis
6f winner for George Boughey last summer; recorded an RPR of 79 when a close fourth at Pontefract on his stable debut last August (6f, good to firm); disappointing since, including on his seasonal debut at Thirsk 13 days ago, but he's plummeting down the weights; type to pop up at some point and the market should be revealing.

Carlton And Co
Infrequent winner but she got the job done at Leicester last summer (6f, good to firm) when rated 3lb lower; ended 2024 with two solid AW runs; stays 7f but her best form has come over shorter.

Ratafia
Has gone well after a break in the past and he's only 1lb higher than for his Yarmouth win (7f, good to soft) last August; ended 2024 quietly and disappointed when favourite for a division of this race 12 months ago.

18/1 |
Spanish Mane
Veteran with 12 wins to her name from 60 starts; as good as ever judged on her second to Marmoga at Yarmouth on her return three weeks ago (7f, good); only picked off close home on that occasion and, given her modest record fresh, she could take a step forward this time.

Diligent Henry
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when readily seeing off ten rivals in a 7f 0-58 handicap at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; up 6lb and more to prove on turf but he did settle that latest race quite quickly.

Tough At The Top
Hint of promise in his novice/maiden runs; no progress in two 6f handicaps as yet but the new trip looks worth exploring; too soon to write him off.

Create
Won a C&D handicap last July off a 14lb higher mark; out of sorts this winter until finishing a close third at Southwell 23 days ago (7f); dangerous if she can build on that effort.
