Ziggy's Condor
Made all in first-time visor (retained since) at Southwell (6f, AW) in February and a respectable fourth the next twice (6f, AW/good); has run well over 7f previously and the step back up in trip may be a good move.

Bajan Bandit
Two wins at Southwell (1m/7f, AW) earlier this year and latest run can be excused by 1m2f trip; this fast-ground C&D winner could be in the mix now back down in distance.

How Impressive
Better strike-rate on AW than turf and well beaten in first-time blinkers at Southwell (AW) last time, but he's now back in blinkers in which he twice went close at Southwell (7f) earlier this spring; not ruled out.

Oriental Prince
Four AW wins this year (5f/6f); hasn't run badly on turf the last twice (7f/6f, good/good to firm) but needs something extra to win this.

Brazilian Rose
Three wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) in January and short-headed there (7f) in March; switched to front-running tactics there (7f, AW) last time and ran pretty well in fifth of 14; showed promise last September on her second start and sole run on turf (soft); not discounted.

Abduction
Well handicapped on last year's best turf form and returned from break with close third at Southwell (7f, AW) in February; however, three lesser runs have followed and his losing sequence is up to 16 races.

Byzantine Empress
Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and showed some promise in December among her first three runs for this stable; ran well first time up last season and returns from a break with yard among winners; chance.

Vince Le Prince
Well beaten at Southwell a fortnight ago but that was also the case on his only other AW encounter; won three times on turf last season and reappeared with solid fourth at Musselburgh (7f, good) earlier last month; could bounce back with a big performance now reverting to grass.

Callianassa
Knocking on the door prior to getting off the mark at the 27th attempt under Archie Young at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; it remains to be seen if the return to turf will suit but she ran well on grass earlier in her career and is not ruled out up 3lb.

American Bay
Won Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last September and has run well over 7f in the past; fair effort on stable/seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but well beaten the next twice; has to get back on track.

Dutch Kingdom
Disappointing at Southwell (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and inferior on grass (on which he's 0-7); however, he has a much lower turf mark and showed some promise at Thirsk last May; displayed career-best form when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) two starts ago and is not written off.

Follow Your Heart
Two 7f AW wins from his last four starts; has a lower mark to work with on turf but he had two similar opportunities last summer and was unable to take advantage; 9-40 on AW as opposed to 1-12 on turf.
