Fighting Queen
Produced a strong finish to win over C&D 18 days ago on her handicap debut (a couple of these in behind); similar form when second of four over 1m2f last week, where stamina failings looked a bigger issue than the rider dropping his whip over 1f out; still has untapped potential.

King Of Speed
His last three wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f), the latest off a 2lb lower mark in February; placed over C&D last month and likely to give another good account.

Claxton Bay
Prominent racer; just missed out at Lingfield (1m) in January and he didn't run badly at Kempton two weeks later; not so good tried in a visor last time and the headgear is absent here; on a winning mark and he can't be ruled out.

Waleyfa
Ran her first disappointing race for this yard when last of six at Brighton last month, a race where conditions should have been fine; overall profile suggests she'll bounce back quickly.

7/4 |
Dappled Light
Ended 2024 with an AW win and he stepped up on his seasonal return when easily seeing off ten rivals at Chepstow ten days ago; has a penalty to overcome but he's 1lb ahead of the handicapper; has run well over C&D and more appealing than many.

Weston Court
Two front-running wins last year, the first over C&D on firm ground, and is back to a winning mark; behind a couple of these here 18 days ago but should be sharper with that run behind him; yard also runs Eye Of The Water.

Eye Of The Water
Won twice over C&D in 2023, the second win coming off a 14lb higher mark than today's; over 5l behind Fighting Queen on his reappearance 18 days ago and slower ground would be ideal.

Kapparis Kid
His three wins have come on AW and he has been unplaced in all nine turf runs; on a basement mark but there are risks attached.

Midnight Flame
34-race maiden who has flattered to deceive on occasions; returning to 1m (attempted once in 2023) not the obvious answer.
