Fiddlers Green (G)
[P]
Runner-up twice at Kempton around the turn of the year and should find this easier than the Class 4 he contested at Wolverhampton 23 days ago. Cheekpieces are also refitted. Enters calculations.

Bohemian Breeze (G)
[P]
Had quite a solid record on turf last summer but ran on poorly in 2 starts back from a break in January. Cheekpieces are refitted this time.

Smokey Malone (G)
[BT]
Completed a hat-trick when seeing off 6 rivals over slightly further here 4 weeks ago but didn't have much to spare so a further 3 lb nudge may be enough to bring his winning run to an end.

Take The Boat (F)
FAV
Won at Wolverhampton and runner-up at Lingfield (both 1½m) last month. Her hold-up tactics weren't seen to best effect when never involved at Kempton last time and it's likely she's still in form. Respected.

King's Cruiser (C)
[B]
Modest maiden. Bounced back from a poor run at Southwell when third at Wolverhampton (2m) 16 days ago but he'll need to pull out more to land a first win here.

El Ghaawy (G)
Maiden who ran one of his better races when fourth of 7 in 1½m Wolverhampton handicap last month.

Dynamite Defense (G)
AW Flat winner in Ireland for Denis Hogan. Unable to make an impact over hurdles for Olly Murphy but fared better back on the Flat when third of 11 in 1½m Lingfield handicap last month. One to consider.

Angelardo (G)
Looked suited by the step up to 2m when pulling 3¼ lengths clear at Newcastle 15 days ago. The return to a shorter trip is a slight worry but he's unexposed for a yard enjoying a good spell.
