Meribella
Left it late to win a 1m4f handicap at Doncaster last September (good to soft; fine on quicker) and confirmed herself progressive with a third at Listed level next time (1m5f AW); an untouched mark might still be on the high side, but there could easily be more to come at four.

Santorini Star
Has won three of her five races (confined to the AW last year) and was nicely on top at the finish to justify market confidence over 1m2f at Brighton (good to firm; now 6lb higher); both her smart parents were winners over this longer trip and she's open to any amount of improvement.

Overture
Raced keenly and hung late on when behind three of today's rivals at Southwell (1m4f AW); entitled to find something on that form but she might be handicapped to the hilt now after last season's four-timer.

Pique'
Consistent as they come in handicaps last season (1m3f-1m6f) and shaped as though her Southwell run (1m4f; behind Orchard Keeper and Loving Look) would bring her on; it would be typical for one from this yard to progress further as a 4yo.

Loving Look
Has a good bit to find with Orchard Keeper on last month's Southwell encounter (1m4f) but that was her first run since November and she could be sharper all round here; each-way claims.

Dancingwithmyself
Both handicap wins last year were at Ripon (1m2f/1m4f); better than ever this campaign with narrow defeats, back at Ripon and last time at Kempton (1m4f) where she was strong through the line; again seems highly likely to give her running.

Beset
Second and first in two 1m4f handicaps on the AW for Henry Candy and then joined leading Irish yard for 25,000gns; had a nice bit in hand at Sligo (1m2f, good) despite overcoming significant traffic issues; intriguing contender.

Bas Bleu
Rarely runs a bad race and has won two of her last three, latterly in gritty fashion at Doncaster (1m4f, good); up 4lb in a stronger race here but hasn't looked back since the hood went on (131).

Orchard Keeper
Consistent filly who ran up to her best in a good fillies' handicap at Southwell (1m4f AW) a month ago when nicely clear of Loving Look, Pique' and Overture; a 3lb nudge was more than fair and she's fine on this ground; strong contender.

Umbria
Won twice on the AW last season and made a positive return at Kempton (1m4f) where she was given every chance before passed late on by two closers (Dancingwithmyself was second); might well strip fitter for that but does have a bit to prove on the grass.
