Staincliff
Won Windsor novice (5f, good to firm) last August for Jack Channon and signed off for that yard with good third in Newcastle handicap (7f, AW) in January; has since changed yards (remains in same ownership) and had wind surgery; this lightly raced 4yo is not ruled out on her stable debut.

Brave Empire
Looked very promising when winning 2yo novice here in June 2023 and 6f AW handicap in February 2024; however, he failed to threaten last summer on his final two runs for Roger Varian and it was the same story on his recent stable and seasonal debut; tongue-tie goes on; others have less to prove.

Mythical Phoenix
0-8 last season but produced a series of good performances (5f/6f, various ground), including a near-miss on his reappearance last May; returns having had wind surgery and there's every chance he'll be bang there.

Azure Angel
Failed to progress for Roger Varian and only fifth of seven when 6-4 for last month's stable and seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW); however, it wasn't a bad performance and she's down to a dangerous mark; it will be interesting to see if there's again a lot of market confidence.

Archduke Ferdinand
Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and he was an unlucky fourth at Thirsk (5f, good) on May 3; very much of interest on that penultimate form but he was underwhelming at Haydock just four days ago.

Diligent Resdev
Won the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, good) last September and travelled strongly when fifth of 17 in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) latest; this drop back in trip could be the ideal move and he's respected.

Tough Enough
Well treated on old form and beaten less than 2l when sixth at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month on second start back from an absence; however, soundly beaten at Thirsk (6f, good) since and needs to leave that run behind.

Filly One
Fair fourth on turf debut at Thirsk (6f, good) last month before tapping back into her early promise with an easy, all-the-way win at Southwell (6f, AW); 9lb higher today and needs to transfer her improvement back to grass, but this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer.

Admiral D
He's dropped to a dangerous mark and showed the odd hint of spark on occasions towards the end of last year; can go well fresh but he's been regressive and has a poor strike-rate over the last few years.

Cash In
Won four-runner maiden at Newcastle (5f, AW) last November and he's also effective over 6f on turf; however, hasn't threatened in handicaps on grass on his two runs this year (6f/5f) and has to raise his game.
