Henery Hawk (G)
Typically gave his running when chasing home Kento for the second consecutive race over C&D last time, though stall 11 makes life tougher.

Midnight Call (M)
FAV
Has on 4 times at this course but too free over 6f latest. Likely to be well positioned back over minimum trip, though, and is fancied to resume winning ways with Hollie Doyle taking over.

Coolagh Magic (G)
[V]
Again found himself hitting top gear too late when close third of 9 at Lingfield latest, and while refitting of a visor looks a sound move, he'd ideally prefer more pace in the race.

Kento (G)
[P]
Made it 2 wins from previous 3 starts (both under Rossa Ryan) in this grade over C&D last time, doing well to cling on (by head from Isla Bella) having been up in firing line throughout. 3 lb rise probably scuppers his follow-up bid, thoug…

Charging Bull (G)
[T1P1]
Again raced freely when well held over 6f here last time. Cheekpieces/tongue strap replace hood but hard to be confident he'll settle better.

Some Nightmare (G)
[P]
Underlined his consistency over C&D when third of 9 here in mid-February and he's likely to be in the mix from a handy draw.

Neptune Legend (G)
Fared better than of late finishing fifth of 9 here (7f) on first start since rejoining Tony Carroll (left James Owen), and while probably better over further, he looks well treated now.

Comedian Leader (M)
Out of sorts since landing a double on turf in August but has tumbled down the weights as a result. Merits a market check, having been poorly placed when (50/1) fifth of 9 at Lingfield latest.

Isla Bella (F)
[TP]
Best not judged on latest run at Southwell (again slowly away) but would have claims if in same form as when close second behind Kento here last month.

Nad Alshiba Snow (F)
[T]
Maiden failed to fire in classified stakes at Lingfield (10/3) in January but had shaped with some promise over C&D prior to that and merits consideration back from a break.
