Waleefy
The switch to handicaps and addition of a tongue-tie saw him make good progress last summer, winning at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) and Doncaster (7f, good to firm); could have more progress in him this year and he's quick enough to deal with the return to sprinting; good chance.

Knebworth
His four turf wins have come on slower than good, the latest a narrow defeat of Capote's Dream at Newbury last October (6f, heavy); two encouraging runs this year and the switch to blinkers could spark extra; good chance if the ground doesn't dry out too much.

Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style.

Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020.

Hasn't won away from Newmarket since the summer of 2022; satisfactory return to action at Newmarket two weeks ago (5f, good) and the return to 6f will help; promising 7lb claimer rides for the first time; should go well.

Count Otto
Veteran who has been absent for 439 days; he has been given a chance by the handicapper and returns with his stable in better form than when last seen; would be more interesting were it not for his record of having been unplaced in all ten Goodwood runs.

Capote's Dream
Just one win since August 2021; fully effective over C&D and the ground shouldn't be an issue; ran respectably on his reappearance last month but suspicion he'll find a couple too strong once again.
