20/1
Was not the most consistent performer last year but did make the frame at this level at Pontefract in August (6f, good) and bettered that on her reappearance when second in Nottingham's Kilvington Stakes. More needed, but each-way claims.

Won a Carlisle maiden (6f, good) on debut last season and improved in two more runs, taking a Hamilton handicap on soft. Not quite at that level when behind Classical Times at Nottingham last time but unexposed and not ruled out.

5/1
2016 Stewards' Cup winner (6f, good to firm) who didn't manage to get back to that level of form last year, but was beaten just a neck in this grade. Finished ½L third on reappearance here. Claims if she can get back to her best. Respected.

16/1
All there of her wins have been at this trip, on good ground or slower. Not beaten far in Listed races at Newmarket in September and at Bath on her reappearance. Has the ability to have a say but fast ground is a concern.

10/1
Gets 7f but this is probably her optimum trip. Beaten just ¾L in this grade at Pontefract last year and bettered that with a Kempton handicap win last month. Behind some of these at Nottingham last time, however and conditions are a concern.

Tirania23
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR:  92| BF
14/1
Won a fast ground Musselburgh handicap (7f) in August from a mark of 86. Has a bit to find with Marie Of Lyon on a couple of pieces of form last year and is beginning to look exposed. More needed at this level.

8/1
Won her first two starts (5f/6f) last season and has continued to progress since. Beaten just ¾L in a Newbury Listed event (6f, good to firm) on her reappearance and if she can eek out a bit more she looks worth short-listing.

Different Leaguet19

11/4
Ran up a hat-trick to start her career last year, including the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm). Also placed in two Group 1s later in the season. Well below that level in two runs this term, but surely a major player here.

Golden Spell19
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: J P Murtagh| OR:  97| D
10/1
Has proved herself worth a place in these sort of contests and was again placed in Listed company at Naas (5½f, good/yld) last time. Couldn't rule her out of the prize money if repeating that form, but will need more to win.

Rock On Baileysb9

16/1
Won five off the reel on the All Weather between November and March (5f/6f), rising 30lb as a result. Has continued to progress in defeat since then but more exposed in this grade on her last two starts and each-way claims at best.

Tricksy Spirit7
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR:  83| D
50/1
Has shown improved form this season, winning over 5½f (good to firm) at Bath earlier in the month and matching that in defeat in a decent Newmarket handicap last time, but needs a lot more than that in this field.

6/1
Scored at Kempton (6f, AW) on debut in December and was highly tried when a 7L eighth on her reappearance in the 1,000 Guineas. Drops back in both trip and to a more realistic grade here and it would be no surprise to see her make an impact.

Forecasts

Different League (11/4), Dancing Star (5/1), Worship (6/1), Clon Coulis (7/1), All Out (8/1), Raven's Lady (10/1), Golden Spell (10/1), Tirania (14/1), Marie Of Lyon (16/1), Rock On Baileys (16/1), Classical Times (20/1), Tricksy Spirit (50/1)

Verdict

Worship is interesting given that this is only her third start and she looks to have been pitched in at a more realistic level than on her reappearance. A number of others are tried and tested at this level and need to up the ante, but DIFFERENT LEAGUE is better than most if she can get back to something like her best last seen and she can regain some confidence with a win. All Out looks a potential danger, while Clon Coulis is of interest and both Golden Spell and Dancing Star can also make their presence felt.
