Francesi (G)
FAV
Yet to be out of the frame in 11 starts for this yard and made it career win number 5 when scoring at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago. Up 6 lbs but can remain competitive.

Criminal Shore (G)
[V]
Sole win came at Ripon last spring and possibly short of peak fitness returning from 13 weeks off when fourth of 7 at Newcastle (1m) 7 weeks ago (went without usual headgear), though did have the benefit of a good position. Claims in a rea…

He's A Gentleman (G)

Course specialist with 4 wins here, the latest in October. Below best when seventh of 9 back there (7f) last time, however.

Oman (G)
Won here in December and has been runner-up both starts since, though without getting near the winner either time. Ran poorly at Lingfield on Saturday, though.

Billy Mill (G)
Capitalised on a falling mark at Kempton (1m) in January but tailed off on both subsequent outings. Now plenty to prove.

Serious Look (G)
3-time course winner who has been runner-up twice in his last 3 starts here. Big shout if ready to roll after a couple of months off.

Wolf Of Badenoch (G)
Without a win since his debut and out of sorts when last seen in November.

Volto Di Medusa (G)
[P]
Made a winning start on all-weather debut at Southwell in August but has gone the wrong way since. Needs a 3-month break to spark a revival.

Terries Royale (G)
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests making his second all-weather start when sixth of 12 at Southwell in January, faring best of those ridden close up. Eases a shade further in the weights and not one to write off on first star…
