Mumayaz (G)
[T]
Four wins from 20 runs last year. Still in good form respectable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/4) 20 days ago, kept on but never nearer following a sluggish start. Will need to break better dropped to minimum trip but potent…

General Assembly (G)
Back-to-back C&D winner prior to struggling in better company over 6f, seventh of 14 in 'Timeform Sprint Series Final' handicap at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Capable of better back down in grade/trip.

Fiorella Princess (F)
[P]
Course winner. Latest win when making all at Sandown in September but has run poorly in both starts for new yard, 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Remains to be seen if she can bounce back with cheekpieces refitt…

Merrimack (G)

[TV]
Latest win at Brighton in October. Poorly drawn over 5f here prior to finishing creditable third of 7 in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f) 6 days ago, having set good pace. Ought to make another bold bid back over 5f.

Speed Of Maajid (G)
[P]
Arrives in excellent heart, backed into favouritism when 11/4, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 6 days ago. but again held back by tardy start. Can go well again in a race that should be run to suit.

Diamond Dreamer (G)
[B]
Last success came over C&D in March. Ran better than for a while over 5f at Lingfield prior to failing to stay the 7f there last time. Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 1 lb below latest successful mark).

Three wins from 20 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Still in good heart when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 21 days ago. Rare start over 5f in better race here but could have place claims if…
