City Of Strangers
Seen to very good effect when making all and winning by 5l on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last week; well-backed favourite but failed to dominate and turned over under a penalty at Ayr (5f, good) yesterday; return to 6f and front-running can suit if turned out quickly.

Rumba Bay
Won two of her first four AW starts for this yard, the latest with authority when back over 6f at Wolverhampton in March (the next three home have won since); unable to run to the same level returned to turf at Pontefract since but should still have potential at an ordinary level.

Art Of Fox
Related to some useful sprinters; minor promise in three Wolverhampton starts in March, over 7f, 5f and 6f, with more finishing ahead than behind; not obviously well treated on turf/handicap debut but an awakening is not ruled out; check betting.

Monticristo Boy
Has improved since tongue tied, winning on Newcastle AW (5f) and although he bled from the nose when a close third there (6f) in November he returned from a break with a good run at Southwell recently; well held in one previous turf handicap but in better form now; not dismissed.

Volcanic Dancer
Out of Stewards' Cup and Group 3 winner Dancing Star; minor promise on second AW start (6f; favourite) before set a stiff task at Kempton in March; market can guide now switched to a handicap on turf.

Inconspicuous
Won 6f seller at York as 2yo; made the running and in the frame in two of four AW starts for this trainer but hard to call him well handicapped and he needs to improve for the return to turf.

Rinky Tinky Tinky
Ex-Rae Guest; dropped right out on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but she'd run well for a long way in better company than this at Kempton (6f) before highly tried at Newmarket in October; might need this debut for new yard but should have some handicap potential.

Olympic Melody
Didn't go on from fair 6f debut on Lingfield AW for Rae Guest and she found little when favourite for handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in March; clearly better expected that day and too soon to write off.

Dark Sorceress
Vulnerable in handicaps as 2yo but she found an ordinary one when making a winning return at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in March; not disgraced in a higher grade at Wolverhampton since and has more going for her at this level now having another go on turf.

Crangy
Modest Newcastle AW form so far, including in two handicaps over 7f and 6f; needs plenty more for the switch to turf.
