Miss Show Down (second choice) produced a smart gear change when winning a Bath nursery in September and she is open to further progress this year. Captain Kinsella brings unappealing form figures but could outperform his likely odds. Ruby's Profit is on the up and is also on the shortlist but CARRADOS is just preferred. He comfortably accounted for a useful rival at Wolverhampton on his return and could have been let into handicaps lightly.[Paul Smith]

Mixed messages from the form of her debut win at Ascot 12 months ago (5f, good); only run out of the places late on in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot when last seen 339 days ago; unexposed but couldn't say she was obviously ahead of her opening mark.
Showed ability as a 2yo but she's an improved model in 2025, making all at Wolverhampton on her reappearance in April and then going close off an 11lb higher mark at Chester 17 days ago (both 5f); another 3lb higher today but she's on the up and her speed will remain a big asset at sharp tracks.
2yo debut winner; fitted with a tongue tie for his return to turf at Bath last month and routed his rivals with an impressive front-running display (5f, good to firm); hit with a 12lb rise for that but a wide stall looked the bigger problem at Chester last time, using up early energy to get a good position but forced gradually wider as the race went on; this track should be more to his liking but others may have more juice in their mark.
Promise in defeat as a 2yo, including when second in a 6f maiden at the big summer meeting here (good to firm); absent for nine months prior to a front-running success at Wolverhampton last month (5f; more impressive than the winning margin might suggest); cheekpieces added for his handicap debut; opening mark looks manageable; interesting.
She had threatened better prior to getting off the mark at Thirsk last summer (5f, good; made all); game effort when defying a penalty at Southwell three weeks later; hit with a 5lb rise for that and, with other pace to contend with, she looks vulnerable on her return from nine months off.
Looked a real handful when tailed off on his first two starts but he's been transformed by a gelding operation and showed useful form in winning twice on Tapeta in December; unable to give his running at Sandown last month having seen no daylight and then he was pitched in too deep at York last week; this is more realistic and he appeals as being capable of better granted a suitable set up; lively outsider.
Improved with each run for Tom Clover last year, getting off the mark with a front-running 3l defeat of Kinetic Force at Lingfield (5f, good to firm; tongue tied first time); sold for 11,000gns last September; in a hot race on her stable debut.
Exposed filly but she ran right up to her best when second at Yarmouth ten days ago (5f, good to firm; visored first time); a 3lb rise in stronger company would seem likely to find her out though.
Looked promising early last season but his progress has levelled off now; both AW runs this year suggest he retains ability though and returning to 5f should suit.
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when landing a 5f handicap at Southwell in January; missed the break and never featured at Sandown four weeks ago; dropped 4lb but this might prove too competitive.
Her two standout efforts last season came at Bath, notably when finishing with a real flourish to land a 5f nursery (good) when last seen in September; that form looks solid and a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her this year; the suitability of this sharper track has to be taken on trust but there could be a lot of pace on and she's more interesting than many.
Promising debut (6f, AW) in March when he was too free early on; put that experience to good use when making all at Chelmsford last month (5f) and the runner-up gives the form a solid look; unexposed but there will be much more early pace to deal with in this field.
