Skirt Around (F)
Knicks Go filly who ran best race when third of 4 in novice at this course (7f, 66/1) when last seen in September. Has had a breathing operation since and is significantly up in trip on handicap debut. Market can guide.

Central Command (G)
[V1]
No better than mid-division in 3 novice events at the end of last year. Takes a marked step up in trip and looks the type to do better now switched to handicaps with a first-time visor enlisted.

Ballon Rouge (F)
Masar filly who may have been short of peak fitness after 6 months off when sixth of 7 on handicap debut (12/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 25 days ago. Drops back in trip now which is expected to suit.

P J McDonald | E A L Dunlop | 3 | 57.6 kg |

Sweet Love (F)
Failed to improve for the step up in trip when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) in March. Doesn't appeal as an immediate winner in waiting and will remain vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

A Mullen | C Johnston | 3 | 57.2 kg |

| 5th | 5 | 5 |
Steel Fixer (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who showed more than previously when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) on all-weather debut 10 days ago. Now her task is to build on that.

Ben Robinson | B Ellison | 3 | 56.7 kg |

| 4th | 6 | 8 |
Regal Knight (G)
Went off at big prices and showed little in 3 starts last year. Best watched on handicap bow, though any positive market vibes should be noted.

Fallacious Promise (G)
FAV
Stepped up markedly on previous efforts when second of 12 to Karakula Dancer (gone in again since) in handicap at Kempton (20/1, 1m) in February, making up plenty of ground from the rear. Should stay this new trip and is a serious player i…

Project Kinsman (F)
Showed more when second of 7 on handicap debut over C&D 18 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and can't be discounted from such a lowly mark.
