Shimaleyah
Half-sister to a three-time dirt winner; unlucky not to go closer still on her second start and again shaped nicely next time; however, she was weak in the betting and well beaten on handicap debut at Doncaster on Saturday.

Ashen
Missed the second half of last year, during which time he was gelded; said to have pulled hard when finishing well held from a similarly wide stall on his 7f comeback here four weeks ago and needs a deal more off this mark for a yard yet to get rolling.

Virtue Patience
Found an ordinary Lingfield maiden for his comeback in March and won tidily despite having taken a keen hold; today's extra furlong should suit on pedigree if more amenable and he remains open to improvement.

Shamador
Went backwards last autumn (beaten at odds-on on his only start on Polytrack) and was subsequently gelded; again ran below market expectations on his comeback and has it all to prove now.

Saxonia
Improved since being gelded and switched to Tapeta, following up his maiden win with a couple of solid efforts in handicaps; can pull hard and has gone both ways under pressure but he ought to give his running once more on his Polytrack debut.

Aviano
Took a bit of pushing when justifying favouritism on his Wolverhampton debut and it's no surprise to see first-time blinkers tried back from a short break; has stamina on the dam's side and should appreciate the extra furlong now handicapping.

Final Night
Caught the eye a couple of times here early in the year but hasn't progressed, finishing well held on his handicap debut off 2lb higher in March; would want to see good support before considering him.

Orchard
Excuses in two nursery runs here last backend and turned in a career-best effort on his 7f comeback here three weeks ago, when coming away with a subsequent winner off 3lb lower; goes on the shortlist.

Bintshuaa
Well held in three 6f turf runs for William Haggas last backend; dam has produced two winning sprinters and she'll need to improve for the switch in yard, surface and the stiffer test after seven months off.

English Lady
Surprise winner of a weak Chelmsford maiden on her debut last November; since well held a couple of times, including on her turf/handicap debut back from a layoff early last month.
