Packetofbiscuits
0-8 but has finished second on three occasions, including twice at Kempton last month; creeping back up the weights though and he has the widest stall to negotiate this time.

Florida Dawn
Gifted the softest of leads when winning a four-runner novice at Newcastle (7f) on her second start; couldn't cope with a penalty back there last time; makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and well drawn so not ruled out.

Standput
Improved effort when winning a C&D handicap in January off 2lb lower; drawn wide when disappointing at Kempton ten days ago; better than that but a career-best is required.

5/4 |
Tolerance
Five runs over sprint trips, showing his best form when a closing fourth at Newcastle last month (6f; first run after a wind op/tongue tied); finished his race off well from a poor position there and it was his first outing for eight months too; stamina not assured but looks on a handy mark.

Blue Empress
0-6 but placed in three of those starts, including over C&D two weeks ago when sporting cheekpieces for the first time; not the only pace influence in today's field but stall 10 complicates matters.

Blue Seeker
Impressive over C&D on Boxing Day on his nursery debut; no progress since and comes here with something to prove.

Easily Convinced
Hasn't looked straightforward in his four starts, hanging left when winning a Chelmsford maiden and again when sixth on handicap debut in February; no better for cheekpieces at Kempton last month and now tried in blinkers.

Epicurian Lad
Absent since finishing third in a useful 6f nursery at Thirsk last July; gelded during his absence and appeals as the type to do well this year; encouragement for 7f on pedigree.

Rock Diva
Five-race maiden; finished fifth at big odds in both handicap runs this year (7f and 1m); creeping down the weights but cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.

Glitter Code
Ran as well as he ever has when third of nine in a 6f nursery at Newcastle when last seen in November; that race hasn't thrown up a subsequent winner though and others holds more pressing claims; visor absent this time.

- Risk
- Pierre-Louis Jamin / Tom Dascombe

6/1 |
Risk
Little doubt he has the ability to win races off this mark but he's shown a dark side to his character too, most recently hanging badly left over 1f out when looming as a big threat at Lingfield last week; carries considerable risk but today's rider knows him well and things might click at some point.
