Lesley's Boy
Made it 2-3 when winning on nursery debut at Ripon (6f, good) last August and returned to form with very close third at Newcastle (7f, AW) in October; gelded since and he's respected on his return to action.

Dark Cloud Rising
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last August on second start and creditable third in Haydock novice (6f, good to soft) next time; down the field in soft-ground Listed race when last seen (gelded in interim) but he retains potential for his good yard now making his handicap debut.

Cayman Tai
Runner-up on first three starts before winning Ffos Las novice (5f, good to soft) last June, after which he was a fine second of 16 in a nursery at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm); failed to back that up when mid-division at York but remains capable of better and his yard is in good form.

Peter The Wolf
Runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last September on his third start but didn't kick on from that and improvement is necessary if he's to make a winning handicap and seasonal debut.

Fan Mail
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Newcastle maiden (6f, AW) in February and close fourth of 11 on subsequent handicap debut at Southwell (6f, AW), where not enjoying a clear run; well beaten on his two turf starts last summer but he's a player if transferring his AW improvement back to grass.

Middleton View
Well beaten on turf last May/June on first two starts but gelded subsequently and returned with close second of six at Kempton (6f, AW) in February; pedigree provides optimism he'll be better than his opening mark.

Scatter Penny
Didn't really threaten in her three nurseries last August-November but she made it 2-2 when winning by 4l over C&D (good) last July and perhaps a break and the return to this course will be the catalyst for a good run.

Invitorio
Promising third at Ayr (6f, good) last October on second start and won at Redcar (6f, soft) later that month; in good hands and his useful pedigree suggests he has potential off his handicap debut mark; on the shortlist.

I Need Your Love
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Redcar (6f, good) last September on his second nursery start and finished third the next twice (5f/6f, heavy/soft); might not be far away on this reappearance.
