Sandinyourshoes is interesting in only her second handicap but it may be worth persevering with FLAMBOROUGH HEAD who should find this company easier than last time out when the race never really unfolded well for him. Falaise Blanc didn't have much luck in that race either and he is also worth a look, while Precious Spartan comes into it on his 1m run here in December. The jump from 5f to 7f asks a question of Hardlass but Triple Wishes is worth a market check on his first go at this level.[Emily Weber]

Promising turf debut when seriously hampered; can take a good hold and he was lit up by an early bump on handicap debut over C&D recently, after which he couldn't get cover; capable of better in a less competitive affair if the race plays out better for him.
Big prices for all three runs at sprint trips, improving each time and keeping on in fourth of five on this track three weeks ago; should stay 7f on pedigree and there could be more in the offing now handicapping; worth market check in first-time headgear.
Rank outsider for all three starts, getting closest when beaten nearly 6l in C&D novice run at a slow pace on her second start; needs a bit more than she's shown so far at 1m and 7f but this is her best chance yet.
Looked to have more to offer as a sprinter when coming home nicely into fourth in a good race for the grade here (5f) in January, then kept on at the same pace at Wolverhampton since; pedigree suggests 7f should be within her scope if the change of tempo doesn't catch her out.
Four defeats in AW handicaps but 1m was a shade too far on this track in December and he didn't have a chance to show what he could do back over C&D 18 days ago after a break; can be involved with a clear run.
Maiden whose best form is at sprint trips and he's gone nowhere for a yard that's often done well with others' castoffs; had some headgear experiments, hood left off today with tongue-tie retained.
Well held in three runs over sprint trips; mixed messages from pedigree regarding ideal trip but two siblings won on AW and he's open to improvement now handicapping even if this may be needed back from layoff.
Best handicap form by some way when runner-up in useful 1m event here in December (first-time visor; Falaise Blanc fourth); lesser efforts since, either side of a break; leaving off the visor needs to freshen him up.
Well held in first three sprint runs but despite racing freely from off the pace she found plenty to go down narrowly on handicap debut at Southwell (6f), just unable to get past a determined rival; worth a go over 7f; respected.
Made no impact on handicap debut (7f, turf) in August and wasn't seen again until getting hampered, beaten at the time, over C&D 18 days ago; needs a fairly large step forward.
Beaten upwards of 13l in three qualifying runs at 6f and 7f for Philip Kirby as 2yo; had wind surgery since the latest of them in October; ordinary handicaps offer more scope but likely other days; yard debut.
