Khangai
Three wins over 1m4f on Tapeta since November including one here; ran about as well as could be expected when fourth of nine over 9.5f here six days ago and will be suited by the return to this trip; respected dropping slightly in grade.

Douglas Dc
Sole win in 39 starts under rules came over hurdles in April 2022; only beat one home over C&D 13 days ago and needs the switch to blinkers from cheekpieces to make a big difference.

Mirabello Bay
Last two wins have come over C&D and he is 3lb lower than for the latest a year ago; didn't stay the extended 2m at Southwell last time and could go well back under these conditions.

Mostly Mozart
0-6; best effort when third of ten on handicap debut here (9.5f; 100-1) in January, but not built on it in two starts over the same trip since; worth a go over this longer trip on pedigree.

Virtual Hug
Lower in the weights than when winning twice over C&D early last year and went close off this mark over this trip in January; just a fair effort over the extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last Thursday, but well worth considering back here.

Sole win came in a match as a 3yo; 0-17 in handicaps since and despite hinting at a breakthrough success he has become expensive to follow.

Tancredi
May not have achieved that much when runner-up in two Newcastle novices (1m, Tapeta) for George Boughey in the autumn and hasn't shown much in three handicaps for this yard, including over C&D; switch to blinkers from cheekpieces needs to make a difference.

Two Plus Two
Has done most of his racing over further lately, including a win here (1m6f) in January; still only 1lb higher, but he hasn't always looked straightforward and hard to know what to expect back down in trip.

Disquietude
11-race maiden who finished placed in three 0-50 classified events in January and possible to excuse his performance over C&D three weeks ago; still hard to warm to unless the market suggests otherwise.
