This looks a minefield, with a few of the more interesting runners returning from a layoff, and the market is unlikely to be stagnant. Light Up Our Stars should go well again but perhaps Irish raider VENETIAN, a C&D winner in the past, will be able to end a losing run for trainer-jockey Sean Davis.[Graham Wheldon]

Gets away with 1m but has done most racing over 7f and can pull hard; that would be a concern coming from the outside stall over 8.7f and he'll need to be amenable early if he's to see it out.
Well suited by soft/heavy ground in his days with Michael Dods; the trademark headgear is back tonight, having been absent for two runs for this yard back from a layoff, but he'll need a good step forward.
Absent for eight months since three defeats on the spin as favourite last spring, all in a tongue-tie; sole win came here and he's well worth monitoring in the market.
Achieved little in five runs for Mark Gillard last year; blew the break and pulled hard in a messy affair for his new yard a fortnight ago around Kempton, and is worth a market check.
Has tended to do his winning in batches in the past and gave hope over C&D last time; is getting on and hard to catch right now but he's well handicapped if building on that.
C&D winner for the Johnston yard as a 2yo who started favourite for a couple of Irish turf handicaps early last summer; has gone well fresh before and is one of the more interesting runners.
Regressive maiden who's often missed the break, including in blinkers the past tiwce; surely has the ability to win off this mark, down another 2lb, if getting away but obviously comes with risks.
Regressive for Richard Hannon and has continued the slide for his current yard; did offer a bit more in a messy affair last time, though, and is used to plying his trade in better company.
Dual C&D winner who often misses the break and is usually dropped in, so will need some luck from a wide stall; otherwise she bounced back from a lesser effort around Chelmsford over the weekend.
Longstanding, regressive maiden who again blew the start in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last time; Light Up Our Stars looks his yard's best chance.
