I Got Know How (second choice) wouldn't need to step up much from her promising Pontefract reappearance in order to play a part, but the vote goes to PASTORAL WAY. He has already shown ability, but has suggested the step up to 6f may unlock a bit more. Queen Dinah and Lima Sierra complete the shortlist.[David Bellingham]

All seven starts on the AW, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton (6f; first-time tongue-tie) in February and finishing second of seven at Newcastle (5f; first-time cheekpieces) in March; has proved inconsistent, though, and not sure how she will cope with turf at the first time of asking.
Finished a promising third of 12 on her Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) last summer, but went downhill in three subsequent starts including on handicap debut; probably only of interest if attracting support back from 226 days off.
Mainly seen on the AW and is 1-15, the win coming at Newcastle (7f) in March; twice held back on turf since and needs the return to sprinting to make a difference.
Showed ability when third of nine in a Thirsk novice (6f, good to soft; 66-1) last July, but has finished out of the frame in all three handicaps so has something to prove; stable also runs Barmyblade.
Showed ability in two starts on turf (6f/7f) last summer, but poor in two outings on the AW since returning in February; returns to grass for her handicap debut following wind surgery and not the greatest surprise if she fares better.
In the frame in three of her five starts since contesting AW handicaps, the latest when fourth of seven behind three subsequent winners at Newcastle (6f) in February; not seen since, but each-way claims if returning in the same form back on turf.
All six starts over 5f, making the frame in his last four as when third of seven behind a subsequent winner at Ayr (5f, good) 11 days ago; has shaped as though worth a go at 6f and it shouldn't be an issue on breeding; cheekpieces are given ago.
Off the mark at the eighth attempt with a narrow success on last month's Catterick reappearance (5f, good; 33-1) last month, but finished just over a length behind Pastoral Way when sixth of seven at Ayr (5f, good) 11 days ago; has something to prove back at 6f.
Not within 10l of the winner in three starts last year, but was beaten just over 3l when fifth of 12 on her handicap debut/reappearance at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; that form has worked out quite well and she wouldn't need to step up much in order to play a part.
