The step up to 1m could be ideal for NEVER LET GO on her second handicap start and she gets the nod ahead of recent C&D runner-up Boston Run. Magellan Cloud and handicap newcomer Rosemary May are possible improvers.[Ben Hutton]

Won at Redcar (7f, soft) last November on third and final 2yo start and reappeared with a creditable third on handicap debut at Musselburgh four weeks ago (1m1f, good; unraced on faster), despite hanging right; open to further improvement and could be in the mix.
0-5 but pretty consistent last year and runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on handicap debut over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; could continue to progress and he's one to consider up 3lb.
Built upon the promise of his first two runs (good to soft/good; including here) to win Catterick novice (7f, soft) last October; held in fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) but that run may have got the freshness out of him; yard won this in 2023; retains potential.
Showed promise on fast ground here last August and won at Kempton (7f, AW) in October on second handicap start; fair fifth on reappearance at Goodwood (1m, good) last Saturday and could show the benefit of that run today.
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December on second run and reappeared with solid third in Wetherby handicap (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; shapes as though 1m could suit and in-form trainer has good record here.
Consistent (albeit winless) in five-race 2yo campaign for Eve Johnson Houghton; may have needed last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh but beaten a long way and needs to leave that run miles behind.
Won four-runner race on nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last August and it's too soon to write him off, but he was well beaten on his final 2yo start and it was the same story on last month reappearance at Newmarket; a transformation is needed in a first-time visor.
Kept on for promising fourth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on second start and won at Ayr (1m, good) 12 days ago; makes handicap debut off fair mark and useful pedigree suggests she could be capable of better still.
