Phaedra
Big improvement upped to 1m4f when justifying favouritism with a easy win at Chepstow (good; 2-1) on Wednesday; that was only her fourth handicap and she looks well treated under a penalty for that 6l success; strong claims.

Pistrucci
Six-race maiden who has not really progressed and he's finished a well-held sixth in his two runs (8.3f/1m2f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs improvement with cheekpieces added at this new trip.

Squires Treaty
0-11 but was runner-up in two AW handicaps in January and he's finished placed on turf (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; edging back up the weights but he got crowded out in the closing stages at Newmarket last time and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix.

Nelson Gate
Struggled in his three qualifying runs in the autumn and same story when ninth of ten on recent handicap debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first run since gelded); still early days but he needs a transformation on his step up to this trip; blinkers added.

Gretna Dreams
Caused a 40-1 surprise when dead-heating on nursery debut (9.5f, AW) last September; has not gone on from that in three runs since, but she made some late gains on her reappearance at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and looks a possible improver at this new trip.

Queen Sansa
Favourite on handicap debut at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago and she rallied to finish a respectable second of five; on unchanged mark and this unexposed filly looks interesting on her step up to this trip.

Argentum
Struggled at big prices in three novice events at Chelmsford (1m/1m2f) early this year; this is more realistic on handicap debut but she still needs plenty of progress on this switch to turf.
