Special John
Point winner; improved with experience for Chris Down, runner-up at Southwell (3m) and Exeter (2m7f) on his last two appearances; 2lb higher on first go for Alex Dunn, but one of the likeliest in this winnable contest.

Summerleaze
Taken her form to new levels (2-2) since joining Olly Murphy, supplementing a C&D win when keeping on to land the odds at Fakenham (3m, good; 2-5 favourite); raised a further 6lb but ought to be capable of completing the hat-trick if in the same fettle.

Make Sunshine
Ex-Irish; made a low-key stable debut at Huntingdon (2m4f) in March, but back closer to peak form, despite jumping left, when third of eight (beaten 5l) at Hereford six weeks ago; stamina reserves untested over 2m6f, so likely to find a few of these rivals stronger.

Milan Milos
Six-race maiden; achieved little in three attempts over hurdles (2m novice/maiden) last winter but does step up markedly in trip (bred to suit) on probable better ground for handicap debut; consult the market for basic advice.

Archie Macdart
12-race maiden; runner-up over C&D (beaten 16l) last summer and placed in newly applied cheekpieces at Taunton (3m, good to firm; jumped right) last month; more required for a change of headgear to threaten to make the breakthrough.

Nothinelsematters
Yet to win and has a regressive profile, with recent form figures of PUP hardly a ringing endorsement; wind surgery, coupled with the fact that he competes from a lowly mark at a realistic level, are the positives; others preferred.
