Elvington
Not much to get excited about at big odds in three starts over 1m2f/1m3f on turf/Tapeta last year; up in trip for her handicap debut after seven months off and improvement needed; stable may have a better chance with Yakhabar.

Merry Minister
Back off last winning mark and 2lb lower than when beaten a nose in this race last year; may need the run after 11 months off, though; watch market.

Smokey Malone
Five wins on the AW including here (1m2f); twice placed off this mark since winning narrowly at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January, including when second of 12 back here (13.3f) last time; should go well again.

Placed in five of his six runs this year, but is 0-15 under rules and has never attempted this far on the Flat; something to prove.

Forglen
Little in his first four starts, but having undergone wind surgery he has finished fourth in a couple of handicaps at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) since returning from six months off last month; still unexposed and has shaped as though worth a go over this far.

Out of the frame in all 12 starts under rules despite a sliding mark; hard to recommend; no headgear today.

Yakhabar
Both wins have come at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta); running better of late having dropped in the weights, as when beaten a length into second of ten at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) this month; a player if able to repeat that effort back on Polytrack in returning blinkers.

Trackman
One of his better efforts when third of seven at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) in February, but didn't repeat it back there last month and is now 0-17; look elsewhere.
