Tathmeen and Q Twenty Boy are capable of playing a part if getting a good pace to aim at, which does seem likely, while Bernard Spierpoint may come out best of the quartet who clashed over C&D 13 days ago. However, the vote goes to MINE THAT SHIP who has found 7f too far the last twice and is now 2lb lower than when just beaten over this trip on stable debut at Chelmsford the time before.[David Bellingham]

Won at Dundalk (7f, Polytrack) as a 2yo, but hasn't beaten many in seven outings for this yard, the last four over 5f-7f here; has a five-month absence and wide draw to defy.
Has been running with credit lately, as when third of ten at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta; first-time visor) last month; blinkers given a go, but is now 0-17 and the outside stall doesn't do him many favours.
Four-time winner here (three over this trip) who ended a long losing run when landing an amateur riders' event at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last time; 5lb higher and wide draw not ideal, but is usually dropped out anyway so could figure if they go quick enough up front; stable also runs Yaahobby.
Below form lately including on stable debut at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) 15 days ago, though the drop in trip wouldn't have been ideal; 3lb lower than when successful over C&D in December; worth a second look.
Three of his five wins have come here (including one under Alicia Perkins) and he's just 2lb higher than for the most recent over this trip in January; capable of playing a part if getting a good pace to aim at.
0-11, though 7f has looked too far at Southwell the last twice and she is 2lb lower than when just beaten on stable debut at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) the time before, when back from seven months off; interesting with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.
Course winner (5f) who was returning from five months off when beaten a nose by Gidwa over C&D 13 days ago; had no great record fresh prior to that so a player if building on it.
Had suggested he was on the way back before just getting the better of Bernard Spierpoint over C&D 13 days ago; only 2lb higher, but wouldn't be sure to confirm the form with his old rival who lacked a recent run.
Went close at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month and caught the eye of the stewards when fourth (behind three of these) over C&D 13 days ago; that took his record to 0-23, though, so he wouldn't be certain to fare any better this time.
All three wins here (5f/6f) and 6lb lower than for the most recent last summer, but latest efforts raise doubts as to whether he is running well enough to take advantage.
0-10, but he didn't finish far behind Gidwa and Bernard Spierpoint when third of ten over C&D 13 days ago having not enjoyed the clearest of runs; still needs a bit more, though.
One of his better efforts when chasing home Kitbag over C&D in December, but twice well held since; now 0-13 and needs a turnaround after three months off.
