Dancing In Paris
Did well over 1m4f+ last spring/summer and made a very promising hurdling debut in the autumn; may still have more to offer this season but has fitness to prove today and this drop back to 1m2f is probably not ideal.

Promethean
Maiden after eight starts but encountered traffic when very respectable seventh of 21 in Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time hood) last month and will be suited by this move back up in trip; major player if handling today's ground (acts well on good; unraced on quicker).

He's A Latchico
Comfortably won a low-grade handicap this month and is evidently in good nick but this is his first Flat run since summer 2023 and he may need further than 1m2f nowadays.

Xiomara
Won a soft-ground maiden in France for David Menuisier last August (1m3f) and placed in Doncaster handicap (1m4f, good to soft) the following month; absent since struggling in two heavy-ground Listed races in the autumn but is back in calmer waters for this stable debut and will be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; has a fighting chance if fully tuned up.

First Officer
Won this race on seasonal debut a year ago (good to soft) and added to his tally at Newmarket (1m1f, soft) in September; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but should cope with the forecast fast ground and enters calculations.

Croeso Cymraeg
Old-timer who won twice on slow ground in the autumn (1m2f); also suited by much quicker conditions but begins this new campaign from a fairly tough mark.

Two good runs for new stable this season, the latter a keeping-on second at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 24 days ago; will be fine over today's shorter trip and remains on a good mark; likely contender.

Robbo
Started off for new stable with three respectable runs over 1m on Polytrack at Lingfield this year; should be fine back on turf and has possibilities off current mark if suited by today's step up in trip.

Fast Steps
Largely consistent last season; absent since below-par AW run in November and still 2lb higher than for last summer's narrow win under Oisin Murphy at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) but Murphy is back on board today.

Morcar
Dual C&D winner on good to firm ground; shaped well before fading into midfield on recent seasonal debut at Newbury and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; one to consider.

Lilly Lux
2-10 when based in France, signing off with a win in 1m4f AW conditions race in January; quite tricky to weigh up before today's British debut, particularly as this will be her first turf start on ground quicker than soft.

Silver Gunn
Tends to race a bit too freely but made the frame over 1m2f on all six appearances last season, most notably when winning at Newmarket (good) in August; very well suited by this C&D; no surprise if he features.

Ocean Heights
Rediscovered some form on last two AW starts, more recently when fifth of 12 at Kempton (1m4f) two weeks ago, but today's drop back in trip may not be ideal and others appeal more than this regressive 8yo.
