9	Has held his form well on the all-weather, making the frame on 4 of his 5 starts this year and shaping on his last 2 as though a first win is near. Turf is an unknown, but there is no obvious reason why he should not prove at least as effective on this surface. 1st Pick 9 Al Hofzan (Ire) Jockey: Harry Vigors Trainer: Georgina Nicholls J: Harry Vigors T: Georgina Nicholls	98	-	-	-	15%

2	Didn't need to improve when winning 6-runner minor event at Lingfield last time by neck from Alasrae. Runner-up has franked the form since and still unexposed as a sprinter. 2nd Pick 2 Tenbob Tommy Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Sheena West J: Charles Bishop T: Sheena West	96	-	-	-	25%

8	Failed to improve for switch to handicap company at Leicester last September, but steps back in trip here and, from a late-maturing family her yard has enjoyed success with, remains one who could do better as a 4-y-o. Market support would be noteworthy. 3rd Pick 8 Magic Music Jockey: Clifford Lee Trainer: Steph Hollinshead J: Clifford Lee T: Steph Hollinshead	89	-	-	-	8%
