7/4 |
Barmyblade
Poor last year but much improved this spring and appreciated the step back up from 5f when having two of these behind over C&D nine days ago; 7lb rise will make things tougher but he's better drawn today and goes on the shortlist.

Causin A Commotion
Kept exclusively to Tapeta since handicapping and has been given two months off after a below-par effort; exposed now and will need to better his AW work if he's to take this from a wide stall.

Hype Merchant
Maiden who's had his chances in some low-grade AW handicaps for David Loughnane this year; can pull hard and this return to sprinting may suit, switched to cheekpieces from blinkers, for his new yard having been picked up for 3,500gns.

Lima Sierra
One of a few to pull hard and find trouble in a messy race behind Barmyblade over C&D nine days ago; has not been beaten far in any start since handicapping and is 8lb better off with the winner, which entitles her to at least close the gap.

Sanbona
Has twice shown plenty of speed since dropped from 1m and fitted with a visor, each time from wide stalls; fared better on that front today and needs considering.

Lady Diesel
Didn't progress for Tom Ward and made an ordinary debut for new connections late last month, when behind Sanbona and Ziva's Star; it's hard to find a reason why she'll turn things round.

Kilo Sunshine
Has not shown much in five starts, latterly when well behind two of today's rivals over C&D nine days ago; first-time headgear will need to make quite a difference.

Ziva's Star
Bit more this year, having undergone wind surgery, but that's not saying much; she was better drawn than Sanbona when behind him at Redcar last time and is only slightly better off today.

Twilight Poppy
7f looked to stretch her on the AW when last seen but she'd previously looked exposed as ordinary; will need to have improved during her eight months on the sidelines.

Queen's Palace
Beaten some way in her three runs (5f-7f), the past twice at triple-figure prices; this is more realistic now handicapping but best to see support before considering her.
