Lequinto
Couple of flashes on AW from 5lb higher around the New Year but overall profile is regressive and losing run now stands at 17; returns to turf and, while his first start here is a straw to clutch at, his yard surely has better chances with Time Patrol; declared 8:00 at Kempton last night.

Nelson Rose
Won her only two C&D starts (good to firm), both from the front under Jason Watson last summer, latterly off 1lb lower; left Adam West after finishing last on AW in September; took a run to get going last term but still warrants respect on yard debut.

Forever Noah
Consistent in defeat in 7f and 1m handicaps last year, including here when beaten just over 1l in August (7f, good); hasn't particularly shaped as though he'd improve for the return to 6f but he's not fully exposed and is respected on reappearance for his top yard.

Harry Brown
Gained due reward for a string of good efforts this year when landing his fourth AW success, at Lingfield (6f) a fortnight ago; 0-13 on turf but he's capable on this surface and had no luck when beaten just over 2l under a penalty at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last week; chance.

Time Patrol
3-7 on turf which extends to 3-4 on ground quicker than good; won his first start here when coming wide and late to score by a neck over C&D (good to firm) last time; value for more so 2lb nudge looks fine; big player.

Candy Warhol
Made all in two of his last four runs (both Wolverhampton, one over 6f) and he couldn't get on the lead when disappointing off this mark there last time; 0-4 turf record includes two lesser efforts here but they were over 7f and 1m; possible pace pressure from Nelson Rose but he's not ruled out.

Roman Emperor
Regressed sharply last year, especially on turf, and never looked like getting involved behind Time Patrol on his penultimate run; blew the start last time (also C&D) and he's hard to recommend.
