The hurdlers Queen Of Steel and TARA ITI look interesting back on the Flat and the vote is cast toward James Owen's gelding, who's probably the speedier of the pair. Fashionelle is another to consider and an improved show from Somebodycomegether would not be a total bolt from the blue.[Richard Russell]

Did well on AW around 2m over the winter, finishing first post the post on four occasions, but he's lost his zip of late and there's a suspicion his handicap mark may have his measure; bred for turf but he was soundly beaten in both runs on it last term (1m2f on softer than good).
Three AW wins (1m6f to 2m) last spring, latterly off today's mark; back to life when second on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in cheekpieces last week; yet to shine in two turf runs and was poor here (1m6f, good) last June, but it's probably too soon to write him off on this surface.
Made a winning debut for this yard when bagging a weak AW novice (9.4f) in January and she made a respectable Flat turf debut when second to an in-form winner here (2m, good) last month; third and fourth have run well since and she goes off the same mark; respected.
Running well over hurdles on a sound surface this spring, winning twice and firmly in contention when tipping up two out at Huntingdon (2m, good) 20 days ago; has not had many chances on Flat turf (1-3) and looks interesting back in this sphere.
Second at Catterick (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in October but hasn't matched that form in her three subsequent runs; made late gains over 1m4f (good to firm) last month, however, when sporting a first-time visor (retained) and she's not totally ruled out back up to this trip.
2-3 over hurdles since joining this yard, cheekpieces enlisted when off the mark at Ffos Las (2m4f) and following up at Wetherby (3m, good) one week later in March; 0-11 on Flat turf but she's a probable improver now returned to this sphere.
