Secret Guest (G)
Without a win since last May and tried 7f on last 2 starts, finishing runner-up in January before failing to settle when last of 12 at Southwell 27 days ago. Drop back to 5f should be no hindrance.

The Bell Conductor (G)
[V1]
C&D winner but on the downgrade for current yard and came last of 6 at Southwell 5 days ago. Needs first-time visor to spark a resurgence.

Alondra (F)
Largely on the up since joining current yard, winning twice at Wolverhampton in February before proving keener than ideal when fifth of 7 at same track 10 days ago. Could well bounce back.

Ventura Express (G)
Sixth of 8 over C&D (18/1) in January on return from 4-month break, shaping as if better for the run and not given a hard time. 7 lb below last winning mark now and is entitled to improve with that outing under his belt.

Emerald Harmony (M)
Third of 10 in a handicap at Bellewstown (6/1) last October. Off since and makes her all-weather debut starting out for a new yard. Betting may guide.

Blue Lakota (G)
FAV
Adding consistency to his game and was a winner here in January. His third at this track 23 days ago is working out especially well and he holds strong claims back down to 5f.

Juan Les Pins (G)
Returned to form when second of 11 in a handicap over 6f here 7 days ago. Weighted to be in the mix once more but hasn't won in 30 runs. Back down in trip to 5f.
