Dream Composer
Below par on final two outings last season but before those he won in good style over C&D (disputed lead) to make it 2-5 here; can go well fresh and he's one to consider on his reappearance.

Venture Capital
Front-runner who was suited by the drop back to 5f when winning at Doncaster (5f, good) last September and ran well in defeat the next twice (5f, soft); this unexposed 4yo could have more to offer this term.

Alzahir
Returned from wind surgery to win in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good) nine days ago; under a 5lb penalty he remains well treated on his old form and he ran fairly well over 6f at Newcastle (AW) in January, but he's never raced over this trip so has a question to answer today.

Manila Scouse
Disappointing on final three runs last term but won twice during that campaign (6f/5f, good/good to soft) and he's run well to finish second on his reappearances in each of the last two seasons; not ruled out.

Nazron
Won at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last August for Roger Varian but well beaten towards the end of last year on first two runs for this yard and hopes are pinned on the subsequent wind surgery prompting a revival.

Ventura Express
Four-time C&D winner who reappeared with close second at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month; has the rail draw and there's lots to like.

Inconsistent last season but won three times and, while those came on heavy/soft ground, he also ran some big races on good/good to soft going; not discounted on his return to action.

Fahrenheit Seven
Lightly raced 4yo who won three times last year (5f/6f, including on good/good to soft) and reappeared with good third at Newcastle last month (5f, AW; Ventura Express second); could build on that and is drawn well.

Intervention
Just one win from his 30 turf starts and a wide draw could be a negative, while his recent AW win came over 7f; however, he ran well in a 5f handicap on grass last July and is not ruled out.

Brooklyn Nine Nine
Won off this mark at Southwell (5f, AW) in December and also effective on turf (albeit 0-10 on grass); however, his form has been mixed since that win; needs something extra with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

0-11 last year but was placed on all three visits here (heavy-good; including in this race on reappearance); could be in the mix on his return.
