Kingdom Of Time
String of solid efforts in Tapeta handicaps this year and he doesn't appear to do anything wrong; has been nudged up another 2lb, though, and will need to find a bit more for the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers, and from the AW to turf.

Noble Order
Trainer on a lengthy losing run but has had a good few pop up at big prices here down the years; this gelding, whose best work for Archie Watson came on the AW, will need to improve a lot upon his two starts for current connections if he's to follow suit.

Great Blasket
Won four handicaps last season, including today's race off a 5lb lower mark; will need to improve somewhat on his Redcar comeback, but returns to the usual blinkers from cheekpieces today and better can be expected.

Royal Velvet
Won first time out this time last year, which is a bonus back from seven months off, and went on to win both starts over C&D; higher in the weights now but her yard has been in decent nick and she's considered.

Mr Swivell
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up for 48,000gns last backend and gelded, a fortnight ago (AW); won over a straight 1m last summer on his second start back from a break and, upped 2lb, there's a good chance that history repeats itself.

Dopamine
Found the ideal opening against her own sex on Tapeta when springing a surprise last backend; the race didn't pan out ideally under a penalty on her Kempton comeback three weeks ago and she's entitled to have come on for that.

A Major Payne
Again inclined to pull hard when hitting traffic at a key stage behind Mr Swivell at Chelmsford a fortnight ago; related to several turf winners, including here, and this mark looks within range when he learns to settle better.

Encourageable
Missed more than a year and underwent wind surgery before an inconsistent autumn/winter for James Horton; blinkers come off and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market back from three months off for new yard.

Bass Player
Useful 3yo who found his level again late last year when winning a couple of Wolverhampton handicaps; this race is a bit stronger, and he's upped 4lb back from four months off, but he may be up to the job.
