Karl Burke won this in 2022 and 2023, and saddled last year's runner-up, and LOVE OLIVIA earns the vote having bolted up from the front on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW). Harry's Girl did well to win on her debut at Newmarket and, with improvement likely, she is feared most for Richard Hannon. Impressive Beverley winner Saucy Jane is next on the list, ahead of Eternal Solace who did it nicely at Brighton.[Ben Hutton]

15-8 when runner-up on recent debut at Ripon (5f, good); others have achieved considerably more (including stablemate Love Olivia) but her sister Alaskan Gold was a 2yo Listed runner-up for the trainer, who has a good record in this race, and she's open to improvement; not ruled out each-way.
Sole filly in the field when narrow winner at 11-1 on last month's debut at Pontefract (5f, good); it was a promising start but there have been mixed messages from that form and it's likely she needs a big step forward today.
Backed into 11-2 prior to winning on debut at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; had 3l to spare and her in-form trainer saddled the third in this last year; could have a part to play.
Showed pace when fair fourth to Harry's Girl on debut at Newmarket and again when third at Goodwood (5f, good); trainer won this in 2014 and 2019 so she's worth a second look, but plenty of improvement is needed.
Did well to come from the back of the field to win at 7-1 on last month's debut at Newmarket (5f, good to soft); the form looks solid and there can be optimism she'll improve for a trainer enjoying a fine spring with his 2yos; she's one to consider.
140,000gns yearling who was sent off 2-5 and easily made all on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); looks the stable number one (ahead of Alaskan Light) for trainer who won this in 2022 and 2023 and saddled last year's runner-up; leading claims.
Promising second when favourite for debut at Pontefract (5f, good) and built on that to win by nearly 5l at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; the Beverley placed horses have shown promise before or after, so it was an impressive performance, and she could be in the mix.
Her dam was a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner and she's open to improvement on her second start; encouraging second of five at 12-1 on debut at Ripon (5f, good) three weeks ago but she was no match for a stablemate of Alaskan Light and Love Olivia, and others have much stronger form.
65,000gns yearling; second foal; Mehmas half-sister to connections' Listed-placed 7f AW 2yo winner Tundra Rose; dam once-raced half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Mustashry, among others; thrown in at the deep end on debut but she's in excellent hands and the betting may be informative.
