Auguste Lumiere
Disappointed when with Jim Bolger in Ireland last summer but came from the rear and nearly caused 33-1 surprise over C&D for new stable in December; not in the same form when fourth (Fihrayn over 4l ahead in third) back here since.

Sant Alessio
Lightly raced; made a respectable return from wind surgery when fifth on 9.4f Wolverhampton handicap debut in a first-time hood (retained) 25 days ago; entitled to come on for that first outing in nearly seven months.

Liberated Lad
Course scorer over 1m6f and last month's Newcastle win came at 2m; a 1m2f turf success last summer shows he's effective over much shorter than that but he couldn't muster the pace to land a serious blow when fifth over 1m3f at Southwell last time.

Fihrayn
14-race maiden; creditable third over C&D and at Kempton (1m; blinkered first time) in January; likely to be thereabouts but might prove vulnerable for the win again.

Boasty
Three-time C&D winner; looked as good as ever last spring but comfortably held this winter in two runs back from a break; mark is on the slide but there's a need to see more from him.

Fillyfudge
Three-time Flat winner, including of this race last year; creditable placings in October in her last two Flat starts and pleasing third back over hurdles in November, but well held at the same venue in December; back on the Flat after 11 weeks off; previously trained by Amy Murphy.

Elterwater
Off the mark over 1m here in November and two good runner-up efforts (1m again) since; has form over further than this; leading claims.
