Wodao
No win since June 2022 but last season's best efforts read well, particularly as they came over C&D on testing ground (beaten a head in one on heavy); absent since a below-par run last November but needs a close look.

Fine Interview
Two handicap wins last October (6f, soft) and close third of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good) this March; that latest form reads well (he has the same mark today) and although he was a disappointing favourite on good ground at Haydock eight days ago, he may well be worth a second chance.

Knebworth
His four turf wins have come on softer than good, with the latest at Newbury (6f, heavy) last October; three encouraging runs this season when the ground did not look ideal, including when a front-running third with blinkers replacing cheekpieces over C&D last time; should be in the mix again.

Gunfighter
Dual AW winner in 2023 but didn't see much action last year; left Hugo Palmer for 16,000gns last July and first start since when eighth of nine at Wolverhampton this March; below form sole start on softer than good.

Cinque Verde
Won once on good to firm and runner-up here (5f) recently on good ground, but it's hard to ignore that her record is far superior on AW (7-18).

Mister Bluebird
Won here (7f) in June 2023; sparked only once from five subsequent visits but that was when a close third in this race last year and he did win well on soft ground at Bath last October (1lb higher today); creditable reappearance was far better than second start this term; 7lb claimer is recruited.

Eminency
Unraced on soft; 9lb lower than when touched off in this race last year (good) and 5lb claimer joins the cause today; there's been a lack of impact this season, however, following wind surgery, and there's another change of headgear today; strike-rate of 1-21 helps to temper enthusiasm.
