Arabian Sun
Salisbury win last summer has been well advertised since and his subsequent Group 2 effort is likely best overlooked (trapped deep and pulled hard over 7f); since been gelded and still has potential now handicapping back from ten months off.

Sea Baaeed
Pulled hard on his Newmarket comeback, having made a successful debut on Tapeta last autumn, but was more amenable when making most and going close in a small field last time; likely he'll need another step forward running in a sprint for the first time.

Huscal
Pulled hard on his comeback, then didn't look in love with Goodwood last time; the drop from 7f could work in his favour in first-time blinkers and he's one to consider for a trainer who boasts a decent record with 3yos here down the seasons.

Blue Zodiac
Only ran over 5f last season, when finding it too much a couple of times in Listed/Group 3 company; pedigree gives hope that a stiff 6f will be within range but she's more exposed than a few and is some way down the pecking order after seven months off.

Again inclined to pull hard when upped to 7f (dam a dual winner over that trip for the yard) on recent handicap debut but that second still represented another step forward; goes on the shortlist returned to 6f.

Debut third last backend (soft) has been well advertised since, as has his subsequent AW second; well supported when making all and winning easily on his Polytrack comeback three weeks ago (first-time cheekpieces) and remains open to improvement.

Prince Of India
Has done little wrong in the tongue-tie this spring but this is rather deeper than the Lingfield (turf) handicap he won last time, upped 4lb, albeit he hit traffic and did come right away with one other; only run over 7f thus far and needs more again.

Santa Savana
Often highly tried last season, usually in a hood; everything went wrong on her AW comeback and she's best judged on her latest Newmarket second, which came in a less-competitive handicap against her own sex but which gives her each-way claims.

Peter The Wolf
Exposed maiden whose comeback third off today's mark seven weeks ago has been let down since; this is somewhat deeper and others are open to greater improvement.

Balzarini
Ran in a couple of Group 3s for Stuart Williams late last summer before changing hands for 40,000gns; finished well held in a couple of runs back for his new yard and may need further help from the handicapper.

Hucklesbrook
Closed out last season with an AW win off 6lb lower, despite pulling hard in a first-time hood, and was subsequently gelded; nothing wrong with his recent Ascot comeback effort, back from seven months off, and is entitled to have come on for that.

Jewel Of London
Hampered and stumbled soon after the start on her Polytrack comeback seven weeks ago, so that can be ignored; had plenty of racing last year, though, her closing Tapeta win amounting to little, and she'd be a surprise winner.

Comeback Tapeta win came in lesser company and she was well below that level last time, back up to 7f; she'll need to improve plenty on this second turf start.
