Mount Athos (G)
Winner of last 3 renewals of this race, making his first start of the year on each occasion. Lost his unbeaten record at this venue when last of 7 over C&D in January, but fresh might be the best time to catch him and he arrives on the bac…

Serengeti (C)
Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien and shaped well on first start for Dylan Cunha when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap in November. Wasn't in the same form in his 2 subsequent outings, but the market could be informative on stable debut.

Golden Mind (G)
[T]
Successful over 6f here early last year and won 2 more times during the campaign, bouncing back to form when landing 22-runner contest at Doncaster in November. Task is now to pick up where he left off following 4-month absence.

Apiarist (G)
Built on the promise of his return when winning under Jack Callan at Lingfield (1m) 19 days ago, his fifth career success (4 on all-weather). Effective at this shorter trip and he's a major player in his current form.

Sarab Star (C)
FAV
C&D novice winner last summer and continued his progress when making all in handicap at Wolverhampton in November, his third success from 5 career starts. Absent since, but he's well drawn to attack and is respected with more still to offe…

God Of War (G)
Got back on the up when doubling his tally in a Sandown handicap last summer, a good test at 7f possibly his optimum. Making all-weather debut, shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when fourth of 5 over C&D 3 weeks ago, so he co…

Tiger Crusade (G)
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (7f) in January and caught further back than ideal when 2 lengths sixth of 10 to Apiarist at the same course (1m) 19 days ago. Return to shorter trip should suit, though needs things to drop right given hi…
