Manton Road
Yard made a good start to the year, with this gelding winning three despite not always looking easy; a 6lb penalty for last Wednesday's Kempton win will make life tougher but he's fine on Tapeta and has to enter the equation.

Bantz
Didn't look to see out 1m after his C&D win in January and did better back down in trip last time, albeit he finished some way off Manton Road; is 9lb better off with that one today, though, which gives him claims.

Sweet Cicely
Has gone backwards since handicapping and is tried in first-time headgear as she comes back down in trip once more; it's easy to pick holes in her best effort and the visor needs to make a difference.

Flamborough Head
Some promise on his debut last summer, since when he's pulled hard a couple of times; will need to improve off this sort of mark and also need to settle better back from seven weeks off.

What What What
Has pulled hard more than once in sprints, including in a hood at Southwell early in the year; holds claims on his latest second here but the headgear comes off as he goes up in trip, so there are risks involved.

Falaise Blanc
Much better off with Manton Road than when behind him here last time; won't mind the drop from 1m on that evidence and Billy Loughnane (1-5 for the yard) is a positive booking back from three months off.

Harry Palmer
Better was expected on his C&D nursery debut last autumn (weak affair) but again fluffed the start and pulled hard; stable going well of late but he'll need to be more professional back from a layoff.

I Can Boogy
Well held in four runs last year, not improving for the step up to this trip on her nursery debut latterly; isn't obviously fancied back from seven months off unless the market says otherwise.

Lilchita
Started 125-1 for her nursery debut when last seen and again finished well beaten; can't be recommended back from an absence.

Brown Gold
Big prices and well beaten all starts to date, again finishing last behind Manton Road in January; can't be fancied.
