Channagide has claims if reproducing his best AW form on turf, while Blue Tempus (second choice) still has more to offer. SPLIT SILK has less compelling form claims but she's hinted at better on a couple of occasions and this marked step up in trip could see her make notable progress.[Paul Smith]

Struggled in three runs on dirt in Dubai but his three AW runs in Britain have all been respectable, beaten just over one length into fourth at Wolverhampton ten days ago; Oisin Murphy booked for turf debut; needs more but the longer trip can help.
Won twice over a mile last season; second upped to this trip at Lingfield (AW) last month but he will find this a more challenging test at the trip; not at best at Nottingham since, either.
Beaten favourite on his reappearance at Wolverhampton in March but he turned in a career best when winning at Yarmouth two weeks ago (1m2f, good to firm); the runner-up has won since and the Topspeed figure was solid so no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again.
She ran her best race so far when second of six on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); she will need a bit more to defy this mark but she showed promise on her sole turf start and is unexposed.
Promise in a couple of AW maidens, notably second of nine at Lingfield (1m) in January; never threatened at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut three weeks ago; improvement essential now making his turf debut.
Didn't progress from her debut second when trained by Clive Cox, well held in both handicaps; sold for 5,000gns this month; new yard step her up in trip but others look safer.
1m Yarmouth win as a 2yo; got loose before the start and withdrawn back at Yarmouth two weeks ago (7-4 favourite at the time; race won by Telecommunication); one to consider.
Improved effort when second, albeit well beaten, on his handicap debut at Beverley three weeks ago (1m2f, good; winner won again since); still capable of better and he's a major player off an unchanged mark.
Still looked to be learning his job when sixth on last month's handicap debut/reappearance at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm); dropped 2lb and could be sharper today.
Hasn't made the progress that might have been expected in handicaps; creeping down the weights but hopes rest on the step up in trip sparking something extra.
Unplaced in five runs for Ed Walker and she was tailed off when 66-1 for her stable debut at Goodwood two weeks ago (1m2f, good); new tongue-tie today but not easily recommended.
Big prices and beat just two rivals home in three novice/maiden runs at up to 1m2f last autumn; bred to do better at some point and interesting to see how he goes in the betting now handicapping after gelding operation.
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Kempton last month (7f) but she looks ready for this big step up in trip and has hinted at ability; better expected.
