Mamdoh
Has improved for the fitting of cheekpieces and won twice over C&D last month, the latest when making just about all and holding on to score by a nose; up 2lb but still a player in his current mood.

Black Smoke
Was winning for the third time over C&D when landing a slowly run event last month (Mamdoh won the other division in a much faster time); 3lb rise puts him back on his previous winning mark; shortlisted under suitable conditions.

Rubellite
In good form over 1m3f-16.5f on Tapeta this year (12131), the first two wins coming in 0-50 classified events but the latest in a Newcastle handicap (1m4f) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher and likely to make her presence felt.

Zooks
Running well in defeat prior to making it 20th-time lucky under Billy Loughnane at Chelmsford (1m5f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; may have more to offer now that she has broken her duck and respected from 3lb higher.

Scylla
4lb lower than when off the mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last July, but she has looked regressive on the AW in recent months; needs the application of blinkers to bring about a resurgence.

Porsche Lad
Well beaten in three starts over 7f-9.5f on turf in Ireland last summer; makes his handicap/AW debut after seven months off and although nothing in his pedigree to suggest this big step up in trip will suit, is still well worth monitoring in the market.

Tancredi
Runner-up in both starts at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) for George Boughey in the autumn but out of the frame in four handicaps for this yard, albeit not beaten far here (1m4f; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; needs to improve for the longer trip.

This Time Maybe
Stayed on well when beaten 2l into third of 12 behind Zooks at Chelmsford (1m5f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that took his record to 0-15, but he shaped as though stepping up again in trip might suit him; each-way claims.

Trackman
Ran one of his better races when beaten 2l into third of seven behind Mamdoh over C&D last month; shouldn't be far away again, but now 0-16 and others are preferred for the win.

Crystal Guard
Dual Tapeta winner over 1m4f including here; finished behind two of these on last month's Southwell return (16.5f, Tapeta), but his record after a break of four months or more suggests he would have needed it; may fare better.

Fandabidozi
Latest win came over hurdles last May, but just 1-31 on the Flat and didn't show enough on his reappearance here (9.5f) 16 days ago to make him of much interest.
