Last week's Newbury third GLENRIDDING could appreciate the drop back in trip and he earns the vote ahead of the unexposed filly Adorla Of Achill, who is open to improvement. The reappearing Groundsman is next on the list, while Sonic Pioneer can have a big say if transferring his AW form to turf at the second attempt.[Ben Hutton]

£42,000 yearling who has shown ability among his three starts and goes up in trip for his handicap debut; however, he's not obviously well treated and could do with settling better.
Won on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in February and runner-up on AW on two of his three runs since (1m2f/9.4f); two starts ago he was well beaten at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) on his turf debut and has something to prove on grass, but key player if transferring his AW form.
Favourite when running well in third on nursery debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) last September; also effective on fast ground; upset in stalls and withdrawn from intended reappearance at Doncaster (16-1 at the time); brings potential to this 3yo campaign and could have a part to play.
Had shown promise (including on turf) prior to winning Newcastle nursery (1m, AW) last November; unplaced on both runs since but 1m2f at Chelmsford (AW) may have stretched him on last month's reappearance and he's not ruled out now back down in trip.
Won Ripon nursery (1m, soft) last September and ran well in defeat on soft going on final two outings last season; well beaten on good ground at Beverley on last month's reappearance but may have needed the run and he's shown promise on good/good to firm going previously; a possible.
Showed some ability last year and likewise when fourth of 12, beaten about 6l, on last month's handicap and seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm); improvement needed but possible; could be a contender.
Won Yarmouth nursery (1m, good to firm) last September and he's worked his way back into form this spring, finishing third of 14 at Newbury (1m2f, good) last Friday; shaped last time as though this return to 1m could be the right move and he's high on the list.
On a competitive mark on best 2yo form and he could improve for last month's stable and seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm); however, that made it 0-7 and he needs a sizeable step forward today.
Merely mid-division at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and needs to prove he's fully effective on turf; however, two starts ago he kept on well for third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and could have potential now tackling 1m for the first time; not discounted.
Took step in right direction on third start when seventh of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; goes handicapping off a lowly mark and represents good Newmarket stable; a market move would be interesting.
