Boasty's C&D record in the spring months (three wins, three seconds and two thirds from eight starts) is more than decent and he's shortlisted, along with Egoiste (second choice). It's quite possible TIME TESTED, who goes in a first-time tongue-tie having been gelded, hasn't reached his ceiling yet, though, with this just his third run over this far.[Graham Wheldon]

Landed a gamble last summer and has progressed well since, coming away with a subsequent dual winner off 4lb lower in January before finding the drop to 1m against him latest; holds leading claims in a first-time tongue-tie having been gelded.
Six-time Polytrack winner, latterly over C&D off a similar mark last month; this is more competitive, though, and he needs to put an ordinary subsequent effort behind him.
January win came over 2m (Tapeta) and he's finished well held twice since, including under Poppy Scott over C&D last time; there's again no sign of the cheekpieces worn for most victories.
Four of his five wins have come in the spring, three over C&D, which bodes well, and he's now 6lb lower than when last successful; has done better on each of his three runs back from a break too, so there are positives.
Wins have come at Wolverhampton but she's happy on Polytrack and is consistent; should give her running once more but she's been fine with 1m4f lately and needs a bit more back down in trip.
Much better on his handicap debut, upped from 1m to 1m3f, early in the year but was said to have stopped quickly when a beaten-favourite next time; that leaves him something to prove.
C&D winner who's done better with each of his three runs back from a layoff, latterly when just in front of Green Power under Rossa Ryan here a fortnight ago; is one of the likelier winners off the same mark.
Into the veteran stage and not as consistent now but has been fine with this longer trip of late, despite often pulling hard; is closely matched with Egoiste on latest C&D running if repeating the dose.
