Al Hofzan (G)
[P]
Didn't quite stay 9f here in February but bounced back with first-time cheekpieces on when second of 11 over C&D, beaten a nose. Was seen to maximum effect on that occasion but he can remain competitive.

Terries Royale (G)
Third of 15 at Doncaster in October but hasn't fired since, faring no better on first start after leaving Michael Appleby when last of 8 over 8.7f here under a change of tactics 15 days ago.

White Umbrella (M)
[P]
Shaped as if needing the run on return from 6 months off here in February (6f) and stepped up when third over the same C&D 15 days ago. Step back up in trip should help her cause.

Cill Mocheallog (G)
[BT]
Finally cashed in on a free-falling mark in a 7f handicap at Southwell in January. Right bac into his shell both starts since, though.

Caragio (G)
Failed to fire for Martin Dunne, sixth of 7 in 8.7f handicap here in December. Difficult to recommend for new yard from outside stall unless market suggests otherwise.

776-215 | Tyler Heard | Adam Kirby | 6 | 60.3 kg |

Sofian (G)
Caused a surprise when winning at Ffos Las in August but backed that effort up when second of 6 back there a month later. Absent since and now makes all-weather bow.

Yehudi (G)
FAV
[TP]
Maiden after 14 starts but ran up to best when second of 9 in a 7f handicap at Kempton (6/1) last month in a change of headgear. Entitled to go very close if not hindered by stall 10.

Orbital Chime (G)
Southwell winner in November but has been out of sorts since, ninth of 9 at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 30 days ago. First run for new trainer with a superb record with new recruits and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

326686 | Cieren Fallon | James Owen | 6 | 59.9 kg |

Good Karma (G)
Improved with each outing this year, third of 11 over this C&D 14 days ago. Previous C&D winner who can remain competitive.

Simply Blue (G)

C&D winner in October. Unable to add to that for this yard, second of 6 at this C&D 4 days ago, perked up by headgear change.
