Moostar
Made a successful nursery debut when making all at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) last September and didn't run badly when in midfield on her Windsor return (6f, good to firm) last month; half-sister to a multiple AW winner, but not guaranteed to improve for the longer trip and could have been better drawn.

Mighty Ruler
Finished a close third of 12 when fitted with cheekpieces/tongue-tie on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in November, but twice well held since including on stable debut here (6f) last month; return to this trip may suit, but still down the pecking order; stable also runs Reporter.

Warrnambool
Two best efforts in four starts have come over C&D, as when fourth of ten on stable debut after 133 days off last month (first two won next time); has an awkward draw, but still makes the shortlist dropped 1lb.

Whizz By
Most consistent since handicapping with a record of 111223; the three wins came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta), but she finished second of ten over this C&D in March; well drawn and high on the list with a tongue-tie given a go.

Reporter
Best effort for Ed Walker when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in December; last off 11 over this C&D in January and makes his stable debut after four months off having been gelded in the meantime; drawn wide and has a bit to prove.

Captain Harry
Just a hint of ability in his five starts to date, though not in his latest outing at Doncaster (1m, good to firm); return to this trip may help, as may the visor, but he has plenty to prove for now.

Kazakh
Showed ability in the last two of his three starts over 7f on the AW (all in a tongue-tie) for Amy Murphy, as when fourth of eight in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Chelmsford in January; makes his handicap debut after four months off and has the outside stall; watch market.

Spirited Dancer
Comfortably landed a Bath maiden (5.7f, good) for Jack Channon exactly one year ago, but out of the frame in all five outings since including on stable debut over 6f here (first-time hood) last month; may appreciate the extra furlong on breeding, though, so worth considering.

Jersey Maverick
Showed ability on a couple of occasions last autumn, but has 4l to find with Warrnambool on last month's return over C&D (first-time cheekpieces); more needed.

Bear Island
Showed ability in finishing fourth in all three starts last year, the first two over 7f/1m here; gelded in the autumn and didn't get home on his handicap debut/return at Nottingham (1m, good) last month, but a player if coming on for the outing with a hood now given a go.

Beltadaay
Having been gelded he improved plenty on previous form when making all and winning easily on nursery debut at Leicester (7f, heavy) in October; ran as though last month's Beverley return was needed and this half-brother to a Polytrack winner is worth a second look.

Unplaced all seven starts, but has hinted at ability and this is a drop in grade; not dismissed entirely.

Penelope Valentine
Paid dearly for her emphatic win over C&D in February with an 8lb rise, but she ran with credit when fourth of 12 off 1lb higher than today at Leicester (7f, good) last time, so this mark may not be beyond her; respected.

Kosometsuke
Modest form in three starts over 6f on turf/Polytrack last autumn, but is bred to be much better than that and now makes his handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; represents a leading yard and well worth monitoring in the market.
