The two 3yos are respected given they have fewer convictions than the others, with Kameko Spirit the preferred of the pair on this drop in grade. However, the vote goes to the 9yo mare SECOND COLLECTION who has won four times around here and is more reliable than many at this level.[David Bellingham]

Won a similar contest at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January and his proven early speed is an asset over this C&D, but the outside stall poses a problem; cheekpieces return.
Three of his four wins have come at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) with the other coming over this C&D, but his losing run is up to 22; may find a few too good; stable also runs Sixcor.
Could be given a chance on his second of nine in a handicap over C&D in April, but held twice since at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) and now 0-18; others preferred.
Placed in six of his last eight starts on the AW as when third of seven at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) ten days ago; now 0-19, though, so comes with risks attached.
Has won four times here, the latest a handicap over this trip (first-time blinkers) last December; running well lately and she should have the race run to suit; high on list.
Pops up from time to time, the latest at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last October; ran with credit when fourth of eight there (5f, good to firm) on Saturday and has dropped to this level only once before; each-way claims.
0-9; in the frame in five of his seven starts this year including one over C&D; the stiff track appeared to find him out when dropped to this level at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a week ago, but he may fare better returned here.
