Sax Appeal
Modest lately, but is 6lb lower than when winning over C&D just under a year ago so worth a second look with blinkers now given a go.

Aikhal
Smart performer for Aidan O'Brien in 2022 (Group 3 winner), but losing run up to 20 and has finished no closer than sixth in seven starts on the AW (sent off 5-2 favourite last time); others preferred.

Turner Girl
Doesn't win very often but is usually there or thereabouts; fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) five weeks ago not amongst her best efforts and better will be required.

Spectacular Style
Sole success when beating three rivals by upwards of 20l in a Hamilton novice (1m4f, good; 1-7) as a 3yo, but has become disappointing since; 17lb lower than when first handicapping but still hard to warm to back up in trip.

Green Team
Placed in seven of his last ten starts including when beaten a nose here (1m6f) on his penultimate start, but losing run is up to 28 and he probably prefers further than this now.

Paradoxical
Both wins in December, firstly here (9.5f) and then at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack); only beaten a head at the latter track last time (winner has gone in again since) and respected off 1lb higher.

Kalikapour
22-1 when winning narrowly under Gianluca Sanna at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in December; subsequent third of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) was a fair effort and the return to this trip should suit; frame material.

Incan Empire
Well beaten in three starts over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW last year and although not beaten far into fifth of eight on handicap debut over C&D a week ago, that race was run at a crawl; enough to prove.

Cloudside Rock
Well held in three starts over 1m2f/1m4f on turf/AW last year; makes his handicap debut after six months off and the market should be revealing.

Rock Armour
Ten-race maiden whose last five starts have been at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta), finishing placed in the first three but not so good the last twice; has shaped as though worth a go over this far, so worth a second look.
