It won't be a surprise if Little Keilee turns out to be yet another horse to have benefited from a switch to James Owen's stable but the suggestion is CROWN'S LADY, who drops back in trip after a good 1m run in higher-grade company last month and may yet have a bit more to offer on this fourth start for Edward Bethell. Star Zia (second choice) has made progress over 6f this year and is open to further improvement over this new trip. Wichahpi and Clasina also make the shortlist.[Chris Wilson]

Came good for Seb Spencer at third attempt, making all for clearcut success at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; evidently in good nick but combination of 5lb rise and outside draw demands more from her here.
Three good runs for new stable this spring, the most notable a win on Tapeta (8.6f) two starts ago; also suited by turf and will cope with today's drop back in trip; not drawn well but can still make her presence felt.
Failed to build upon encouraging stable debut when only seventh of nine at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month but remains on a workable mark and her maiden win was gained over this C&D; could have a say.
3-39 when based in Ireland, the latest win gained over 1m on AW in February; not drawn well for this stable debut but should be fine back over 7f and it will be very interesting to see what James Owen can do with her.
Four-time winner over 6f (once here) but unraced beyond that trip since 2yo season; taken off her feet before keeping on well for never-dangerous fifth here (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago and, on that evidence, this longer trip could be what she needs now.
In the frame in both 6f handicaps (turf/AW) since winning AW novice over that trip in February; sometimes loses ground at the start and/or races too freely but is open to improvement over this new trip if all goes to plan.
Runner-up in two maidens last month, the latter over C&D (good); ideally needs to learn to settle better but should have some improvement to come in handicaps.
Dual winner (7.4f/7f) from ten 2yo starts; absent since a disappointing run in October and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark.
Unexposed filly who ran well from the front when third in C&D (good to firm) novice last month; not seen to quite the same effect over 6f on AW a week later but still has possibilities on this handicap debut.
Dual C&D winner, latterly when making all for wide-margin success on seasonal debut in April; ran very poorly off today's 10lb higher mark last month, though, and is never an easy mare to predict.
A maiden after 13 starts but placed over 7f at Ayr and Wetherby (both good to firm) in recent weeks and has the inside draw here; each-way claims at least.
Held on gamely to score off 2lb lower at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April and drops in grade after perfectly respectable 7f run at York (good) ten days ago; wide draw dents her appeal here, though.
Won three times last season (once over C&D); not beaten far on any of her three appearances this year (all 7f) but usually knocks about in Class 6 company and others in this line-up appeal more.
