Miss Goldfire
Fontwell mares' novice win last time under Ciaran O'Shea (2m6f, good) was no improvement on her previous best, but didn't need to be; returns to handicaps with nothing in hand of her mark, but entitled to have derived a confidence boost from that win; this trip is proven within range.

Went with renewed vim fitted with cheekpieces at Bangor last month (retained here), that additionally representing her best effort yet on good to soft under rules; replication of previous efforts on this even quicker going won't suffice.

Hardy Buck
Compromised more than once since the autumn by problems with sustaining an effort to the line, and a drop right back to 2m latest didn't prove the answer; have to hope visor helps him tease out resources longer.

Stylia
Immediately better for the return to a stayers' trip and good ground when third on last month's Plumpton handicap debut, albeit looking as if in need of greater respite than the 1lb drop she's received; blinkers added.

Consistency has returned with the good ground, this month's half-length fourth at Kelso another sterling effort if not irrefutable proof he gets a stayers' trip (moderately run affair); more to like than some.

Tis But A Scratch
Pulled up behind Hardy Buck at Fakenham around Christmas, but a solid recent first outing since took his C&D record to 323, including a neck second in this race last year from further out of the weights.
