Singoura (second choice) looked a progressive sort on the AW late last year and she shouldn't be underestimated on handicap/turf debut after four months off, while Honved could well step forward on handicap debut with cheekpieces applied. However, it's hard to get away from LAST SHAMARDAL (nap) who is 4lb well in following his narrow defeat on turf debut at Ripon eight days ago.[David Bellingham]

Both starts on the AW, finishing second of eight on her Newcastle debut (6f) in November before winning well at Southwell (7f) the following month (form since boosted); up against race-fit rivals on handicap/turf debut, but she retains potential.
Placed in three of his four starts in 7f AW novices, but not really progressing so needs to step up in order to get off the mark on handicap/turf debut.
Regressed in two starts after going down by less than a length on last month's Wolverhampton debut (7f, AW), but could easily bounce back on handicap debut with cheekpieces given a go.
Made his debut in February and has already done well, winning a 6f novice and 7f handicap on the AW and going down by only a short head on turf debut at Ripon (1m, good) eight days ago; return to this trip shouldn't be an issue and is officially 4lb well in; major player.
Four-time winner over 5f/6f on the AW earlier in year, but showed he could handle turf when third of seven at Nottiingham (6f, good) 13 days ago; attempts this far for the first time, though, and is having his 17th start; looks vulnerable.
All four starts on the AW; may not have achieved much when making all and beating three rivals in a Newcastle novice in February and has been well held twice since; needs the switch to turf to bring about a resurgence.
Showed some ability in three of her four starts last summer, as when fifth of nine on nursery debut at Newbury (7f, good to firm); worth a market check back from eight months off.
