Handicap newcomers Venezuelan, Kentucky River and String Of Pearls are open to improvement, with the filly String Of Pearls being particularly interesting for Sir Mark Prescott. However, this could go to BEST ADVENTURE who stayed on well for fourth over 8.5f in a handicap at Epsom last time.[Ben Hutton]

Fast-ground 7f maiden winner who was soundly beaten on last month's reappearance here (7f, good), but may have needed the run; kept on well when third of five in Epsom nursery (7f, heavy) last September, which provides a bit of hope this trip might be within range; not ruled out.
Runner-up at Lingfield (1m, AW) last November on second start and another good run when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) on reappearance; in good hands to progress and he's one to consider now up in trip on handicap debut.
Head runner-up when odds-on at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February on second start and fair third at Newbury (1m3f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained); he could do with settling better but has a fair opening mark and is not ruled out.
Three 7f AW wins last year and good second when upped to 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) last month; faded when tackling 1m4f at Chester last week and he's not discounted now back down in distance.
Encouraging fourth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in December on second start; well beaten at 33-1 on last month's reappearance at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) but this Camelot half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist could be an entirely different proposition now back up in trip on handicap debut.
Showed some ability last autumn among her first three starts (7f-8.6f, AW) and, while she's not obviously well treated for this handicap debut, her pedigree firmly indicates she'll be suited by the step up in trip; the type Sir Mark Prescott excels with and she could be a big improver.
0-10 but runner-up in two 1m AW handicaps in January and returned to form when upped in trip and third at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; each-way possible.
