Judged on the strength of his C&D novice effort in October, ANOTHER ABBOT (nap) looks favourably handicapped and is particularly interesting. The Class 5 angle puts Invincible Crown second on the shortlist, ahead of last-time scorer Nightbird. Several others may improve for the drop/return to 5f.[Steve Boow]

Rather exposed filly whose record is only 1-12, the success in AW novice; drops back in grade but chance of doubling her tally largely depends on the effects of new headgear.
Prevailed narrowly in Wolverhampton contest (5f, AW) two weeks ago, opening her account at the eighth attempt; may well remain competitive, having gone back up only 2lb.
Has come up a little short in Class 4 events this term for new yard; interesting back at this lower level, having been successful in sole attempt (5f, AW) in a Class 5 handicap.
6f AW scorer as a 2yo and fairly consistent otherwise, creditable fifth at Doncaster (5f) most recently; solid chance back down in grade, assuming she takes to first-time headgear.
Ex-Irish filly who has failed to back up debut effort; however, may be capable of improvement back at 5f on handicap debut and second start for new yard; check the betting.
All out to win Brighton novice event on seasonal debut and came up short in Ripon handicap (again over 6f) since; however, gives the impression this return to 5f is worth exploring.
Successful at Bath last summer and ended his 2yo campaign with a respectable effort in Newmarket sales race (6f) when shaping as if this return to 5f will suit; one to consider.
Absent since solid third (split subsequent winners) in C&D novice event seven months ago; gelded over the winter; has an attractive opening mark judged on that last effort; respected.
Clear best 6f effort when second at Wolverhampton (AW) on stable/seasonal debut; the way he shaped at Windsor later in April suggests this drop to 5f will suit; not ruled out.
Won maiden last July; down the field at Windsor last week on reappearance, spoiling her consistent handicap record, but may fare better with that outing under her belt.
