Serious Look
Sharp regression during a limited campaign last year, coming 18lb down the weights, but attracted support ahead of his C&D comeback a month ago, when beating a subsequent winner despite pulling hard and hanging; fair chance he defies a 5lb rise.

Spirit Of Bowland
Made it four Tapeta spring wins when doing it easily at Southwell; the handicapper has hammered him with a 10lb rise, though, which puts him on a career-high mark and this strong traveller now has to prove his stamina upped from 1m.

Valkyrja
Well-related filly who finished well held in two runs for this yard last summer, latterly when pulling hard; longer trip is far from assured on pedigree, minus the hood now handicapping, and would want to see good support before considering her.

Pocket Too
Started life in bumpers for Victor Dartnall and it was no surprise that he never featured down to 7f at a huge price last time; this is far more realistic back in the tongue-tie and market confidence on his handicap debut should be noted.

String of poor efforts on the Flat since two wins over hurdles last November, latterly in a couple of runs over 1m6f round here; easy enough to look elsewhere.

Myna
Maiden who proved expensive to follow for Marcus Tregoning last year having gone close off a 5lb higher mark on his comeback; pulled away his chances for his new yard recently, having been picked up for just 3,200gns, and can do better if more amenable.

Strategic Fortune
Four-time C&D winner, latterly off a 2lb lower mark last month; said to have been unsuited by racing wide when well beaten here three weeks ago and should fare better.

City Escape
Five C&D wins to her name, including two already this year; blew the start and pulled hard in a race not run to suit last time (Strategic Fortune behind) and that showed her to still be in form.

Luna Dipinta
Lightly raced mare who's struggled in two handicaps, latterly when well beaten at a big price on her return from eight months off recently; goes back up in trip on tonight's Tapeta debut.

Guinness Lad
String of poor efforts under both codes prior to almost springing a 40-1 surprise at Windsor last Monday; finished well clear of the rest that night, also for Millie Wonnacott, and is well treated if it's to be believed, but needs to improve on previous AW work.

Trusty Scout
Returned from more than a year off in good form and the step back up to further will suit having found 8.6f an inadequate test in an amateurs' handicap here a fortnight ago (albeit that race set up for closers); on a winning mark now.
