Knights Gold
Caught the eye when fifth at Kempton in March before winning there (again 7f) 11 days ago, despite racing freely again; progressive since handicapping and, having been raised 4lb, he's respected back on turf granted that he doesn't pull his chance away.

Cardinal Point
Beaten at 1-3 in a match race at Southwell in September and finished well held on his other start (again 1m) for Charlie Appleby; well beaten under 7lb claimer when midfield at Kempton (7f) on her yard debut (bought for 4,000gns); improvement needed on handicap debut.

Juba
Best effort when 3l sixth of nine on soft ground at Newbury (6f) in September; didn't beat a rival on handicap debut at Southwell (7f) 18 days ago, albeit racing freely out wide; switched back to turf with blinkers applied.

Ornately
Showed improved form when winning on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February on her second start for this yard; up 4lb and off since, but she's well bred (out of a Group 1 winner) and could have more to offer now back on turf for first time since soft-ground debut.

Coeur Jaune
Hasn't lived up to her third over 5f on debut; made some modest late gains when upped to 6f at Southwell last time and could have more to come now upped further in distance on handicap debut.

Standput
Won at Wolverhampton (7f) off 1lb lower in January and posted another good effort when fourth at Southwell next time; disappointing in her two starts since and needs to bounce back on her first attempt on turf since debut.

Blewburton
Sole win came on debut last April here over 5f on soft ground; didn't make an impact in Dubai this winter and 6l fifth (behind Knights Gold) in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton 11 days ago; bit to find on that form and needs the return to this venue to make a difference.

Tolerance
Shaped encouragingly when fourth at Newcastle last month (6f; first start after a wind operation and with tongue tied) but took a step backward from that when upped to this trip at Wolverhampton; needs more on turf debut.

Penelope Valentine
Second or third in her first three handicaps before winning well at Kempton (7f); never got involved at Wolverhampton after being raised 8lb; improvement came when switched to AW so the return to turf asks questions; more needed.

1-12; won a maiden at Brighton when trained by Eve Johnson Houghton; yet to make an impact for this yard despite a sliding mark; returns to 7f with the visor, which has been worn the last twice, now removed.

Best effort from five races when fourth of ten on soft ground at Ffos Las (7.3f) in August; fair fifth in a maiden at Bath on first start after a gelding operation; drops back to 7f with more needed back in handicap company.

Hush Puppy
Showed promise in her two starts (1m/7f) last year, favourite at Lingfield on debut; well beaten on her return at Southwell last month but he may do better now switching to handicaps; turf debut.
