Leap Day (second choice) is high on the list following his encouraging return when second off this mark at Catterick last month, while Naval Academy is another for the shortlist having dropped 8lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer. However, it may be worth taking a chance with HOW'S THE GUVNOR who has shown little in two starts on the AW for this yard but is well treated based on a couple of good efforts on fast ground last summer.[David Bellingham]

1-10 for Clive Cox; well held in two starts on the AW since reappearing for this yard in March, but the return to turf looks a positive and he is well treated on a couple of pieces of form from last summer; interesting.
Well held in four starts on the AW for Roger Fell, but just 1lb higher than when winning on her final start for Richard Hannon at Chepstow (1m, good) last September; worth a market check on debut for new yard (same owners).
C&D winner who has dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Chester (7f, good) last summer; not the most consistent since (behind Leap Day last time) but capable of going close on his best form.
All four wins on the AW, the latest when suddenly back to form at Chelmsford (7f; 22-1) last month on his third start for the yard; has run well on turf but others look more solid.
1-18 but placed seven times, as when second of nine at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month on his return from 294 days off (Outrun The Storm fourth, third has won since); a player from the same mark.
All three wins at Chepstow (7f) including two last summer (good to firm/good to soft); still 5lb higher than for the latest of those and her record suggests this first start in seven months may be needed.
4lb lower then when winning at Chester (7.7f, good) last summer but in and out since, not building on an encouraging reappearance at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; others are more persuasive.
Seen more often on the AW but acts on turf (1-4); back today off her last winning mark but well held in her last three starts, including on stable debut at Lingfield (1m, AW; 66-1) last month after 193 days off; best to look elsewhere.
8lb lower than when winning at Haydock (7f, good) last summer and was returning from six months off when a creditable fifth of ten at Thirsk (6f, good) four weeks ago; claims if stepping forward from that.
Twice placed in five starts in France last year but finished a well-beaten last of six on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; this big drop in trip may help but she still has enough to prove.
