Barford Groover
Went close when 150-1 at Bangor (2m, good) in April 2023 and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the betting on this first run since, but it's a very hefty absence to defy.

Diamonds Galore
Built upon November's debut sixth at Warwick (2m, good to soft) when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; has leading claims on that latest form and is open to further improvement for top yard.

Dramatic Encore
Point runner-up who was a 17l fourth of nine on last month's bumper debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft; 4-1); took on males in what looked a warm race that day and there's every chance she'll progress; chance.

Hidden Star
Dam was a useful 1m Flat winner but this filly was tailed off at 40-1 on debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October; the hood is retained.

Philippa's Choice
Fair effort in sole point and likewise when 9l fourth at 20-1 on bumper debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in November; could do with settling better but the Chepstow form has worked out very well; a possible.

Improved form when 14l fifth at 66-1 at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in November on her second start; bred to do better still but others have more substance to their claims.

Vera Hobbs
Sent off at just 9-2 for her debut at Market Rasen (2m, soft) in November and it will be interesting to see if her backers return; however, she was tailed off and needs to be an entirely different proposition here.

Walkingtheline
Fourth on debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in October and again showed ability when third there (good) in November; may not be far away.

Astra Luna
Rare bumper runner for in-form, Flat-orientated yard; this half-sister to three winners is one to watch in the betting on her second start but she failed to settle or threaten on last month's debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft), when 28-1, and improvement is needed.

Ran okay when fourth at 66-1 at Stratford (2m, good to soft) in October on her second start but needs to take another step forward.
