Won a couple of valuable races when trained in France and yard do well with these sort of recruits. Finished well beaten in the Triumph on GB debut and disappointing last time out at Warwick. Will bounce back at some point but may need a little more relief from the handicapper.
Appreciated the step up in trip when scoring at Warwick last time and the fitting of a tongue-tie could bring out a little more improvement. 6lb rise for that win may not be enough to stop him going in again regardless and he holds leading claims here.
Rattled off a four-time back in 2015 but only lightly raced since and she was disappointing in a couple of efforts towards the end of last year. Given another break and looks opposable on return despite her having won when fresh before.
Last of four when a short-priced favourite last time out at Ludlow but he had set a moderate pace to aim at and got done for some speed. Should be a different proposition this time and step up in trip shouldn't do any harm but wouldn't want any rain to arrive.
Only lightly raced and still appears to be improving at present. Perhaps didn't enjoy the step up in trip when fifth of 16 at Sandown last time but has to be of interest back down to 2m2f here. Seen to best effect when coming off a strong pace.
Just one win from 10 starts on these shores but not beaten far at Newcastle last time out and probably still improving a little. Likely to get his optimum conditions again here and not dismissed.

GOLDEN BIRTHDAY looks like he has more races in him and 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again. Ashoka has been in fine form recently and similar can be said for Cleni Wells who was beaten just half a length at Newcastle last week.
