A few of these are open to improvement on handicap debut, such as Aphrodites Rock and Phrygia, but they may struggle to cope with last November's Southwell nursery winner RIYADH GEM, whose pedigree suggests she should appreciate this step up in trip. Crackalackin failed to stay 1m4f last time but had previously run well over C&D so is second choice.[David Bellingham]

Didn't beat many in three turf novices last year, although was beaten only 2l when fourth of five at Haydock (1m, soft) on the final occasion; makes her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces after seven months off but she's a half-sister to two AW winners; worth a second look.
Hinted at ability in three AW novices over 7f last October and improved when just getting up to make a successful nursery debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in November; off since and now 4lb higher, but he is stoutly bred on the dam's side so there may be more to come from him upped again in trip.
Won an uncompetitive maiden here (8.6f) last September, but failed to beat a rival on her reappearance/handicap debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) this month; improvement clearly needed.
Showed some promise in her first two starts over 7f here in January, but well held at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) the following month; hood removed for handicap debut and she ought to stay the longer trip; worth considering back at this venue.
Placed in three of his four starts on Polytrack and ran better than his finishing position would suggest at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time, but he needs a bit more if he is to get off the mark; visor given a go (has worn cheekpieces).
Fourth in his first three starts during the winter, including over C&D; didn't get home when fifth of seven on handicap debut at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) this month, but worth a second look back in trip with cheekpieces given a go.
Has shown ability, not least when second of nine in a Lingfield maiden (1m, Polytrack) in January; up in trip on handicap debut after three months off, having been gelded in the meantime; market may be useful.
Bred to be useful but has regressed since her promising debut when third of eight at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in December; finished last of seven (behind Crackalackin) on handicap debut at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) this month; needs the switch to a visor to bring about a resurgence.
