Engross (G)
FAV
Continued improvement when landing a gamble on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1¼m) on return, going away at the line having taken a while to hit top stride. Up 4 lb and more to come switched to turf, with this even longer trip sure to be in…

Gaelic Approach (G)
Gelded over the winter and improved stepped up to 1½m for handicap/all-weather debut when second of 5 at Wolverhampton (7/4) 28 days ago, headed close home. Back on turf and surely up to winning races.

Emma's Letter (F)
[P1]
It was all mostly positive at 2 yrs (went down narrowly when 400/1 on second start here), winning a 1m Newcastle novice in November. Returns after 106-day absence with cheekpieces replacing blinkers and faces significant step up in trip.

Five Moons (F)
Lightly raced filly who shaped with some promise in maidens but failed to improve upped to 1½m when fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8/1) 28 days ago, never a threat. First run on turf and more needed.
