Miss Willows (second choice) bolted up over C&D on her reappearance and a 10lb rise might not stop her if she can repeat the form, but she's inconsistent. Preference is for recent AW winner KING SHARJA, who will be fine now back on turf. Tim Easterby's horses are running well and the stable's reappearing pair Sunny Orange and Obee Jo could be contenders.[Ben Hutton]

Won over C&D last July and also on the scoresheet over 7f at Ayr in October; below par on both outings this year but wasn't disgraced over 6f at Doncaster nine days ago and the step back up in trip is a positive.
Continues to drop down the weights and hasn't run badly on either outing this spring (1m, good/AW); however, needs something extra if he's to snap a losing run going back to 2022; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
Won two in a row at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last summer and scored at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago, having dropped back down to his last winning mark; just 3lb higher today and he's one to consider.
Made all at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, below par there two weeks later and absent since; his best result have come on AW and others are more compelling.
His mark continues to fall and he's run some fair races this year (including in these blinkers, which go back on); should appreciate the drop back in trip having tackled 1m last time but this 5yo has a regressive profile and it's hard to be overly confident; wears a first-time tongue-tie.
Easily made all over C&D (good) on last month's reappearance; hit with a 10lb rise and inconsistent last season, but she likes it here and could take plenty of beating if reproducing that latest form.
Has a modest strike-rate but he finished second over C&D (good to firm) last June before an easy win at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft), and he reappears with his stable in good form; possibilities.
Three wins last year, the last two off this mark (including over C&D on fast ground); fair sixth of 13 at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when involved in a battle for the lead; not discounted.
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form when second of six at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; he needs to prove that revival was no one-off but he might not be far away if producing another good run.
Beaten on his last 14 starts but he returned from a break with a fair third at Ayr (6f, good) a fortnight ago, when coming from the back of the pack; his last win came at 7f and he could be thereabouts now back up in trip.
9yo who might need this reappearance run but the form of the stable is a positive and he's a four-time course winner, including this race in 2023; well treated on last season's best form and no surprise to see a good run.
Her last two wins have come in classified races but one was over C&D (good to firm) and she went close off this mark in a handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) ten days ago; might not be far away.
Just two wins from his 43 starts but the last one came over C&D (good) last April and he reappeared with a close second at Redcar (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; could be involved.
