Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: Three turf wins in France; 0-8 in Britain and the most competitive of those displays came when close up on the Kempton Polytrack (2m) late last year; well beaten at Haydock (2m; 8-1) 15 days ago but several stablemates have surged back to winning form recently.

Comment: Usually front-runner these days; three handicap wins last year before he narrowly took a Listed race at Newmarket in November, all over about 1m2f on soft or good to soft; weakened into a fair fourth in Chester Group 2 one month ago; should step up on that but he's unraced beyond 10.3f.

Comment: Made a big splash with three wins from four starts last August-November, with the first three on ground softer than good but markedly better for 1m4f Listed win on AW; cheekpieces have gone on this season, with a creditable second in Winter Derby at Southwell in February but below form in Bahrain in March; bit to prove on turf but in the mix on his AW form.

Comment: Won twice from seven starts on the Flat in Germany, notably when leading on the post in the German Derby (1m4f, good to soft) last July; fetched 1,400,000euros in October and won hurdles debut for Nicky Henderson in January, but he was sore three days before the Triumph Hurdle in March and had to miss it; back to Flat for another new yard and should be a serious contender.
