Temple Of Athena (F)
Successful twice at 2 yrs, including 5f nursery at this course in September. Improved when adding to her tally in handicap at Wolverhampton on return, before finishing mid-field given another try at listed level at Bath last month. Interes…

Silent Strike (C)
Progressed with each of first 3 starts, landing odds in a Kempton maiden before producing a useful effort when second under a penalty at Newcastle. Did too much too soon making handicap debut back at Newcastle on Good Friday, so he's worth…

Do Bronxs (G)
Debut Ayr winner in June last year but found things tougher in better company subsequently, upped to 7f when seventh of 8 in listed race at Doncaster in September. Has widest draw to overcome as he goes handicapping after 7 months off (has…

Go Vince Go (G)
Had a busy campaign last year, winning 3 times with latest success in 5f nursery at York in October. Entitled to have needed the run after 5 months off when mid-field at Thirsk 18 days ago, though improvement required as he returns to 6f.

Watcha Snoop (G)
Confirmed debut promise when a convincing winner of an Ascot novice in September. Well held faced with stiff tasks on remaining 2 starts of the campaign, but he could yet do better as he makes seasonal/handicap debut.

Alaminos (C)

Looked good prospect when making a winning debut at Thirsk last summer but disappointed next time. However, after 8 months off he got back on the up when second in handicap at Pontefract 15 days ago, narrowly denied after meeting trouble. …

Star Material (C)
[V1]
Off the mark at third attempt in a Ripon novice last year. Good second on nursery debut at Ayr (6f) was sandwiched between lesser efforts in a Group 2 and listed race, before he looked rusty in handicap at Thirsk on return. Return to 6f sh…

Angel Love (F)
Given a 9-week break ahead of third start, justified strong support when making all for a wide-margin success in 9-runner maiden at Wolverhampton in November. Could still have more to offer this year as she heads into handicaps.

Arduis Invicta (F)
Kept busy last year, winning a Beverley maiden in August and nursery at Musselburgh the following month. Good efforts in listed races next 2 starts (over 6f on second occasion) and could step forward from her recent run back in a handicap,…

Ruby's Angel (F)
Got back on track making second start in a nursery when landing 19-runner event at York (6f) last summer. Faced a different scenario upped to 7f when last of 4 at Kempton next time, so she could fare better after 8 months off with plum dra…

Cherry Baker (F)
Benefited from drop to 6f when opening her account at fifth time of asking in novice at Southwell in December, beating the odds-on favourite by 4 lengths. Stiff task in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f) on return, so this should reveal more …

Tricky Tel (G)
Landed the odds at this course on first 2 starts last year. Wasn't able to kick on in 3 subsequent outings, fourth of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f) when last seen in September (gelded since). However, return to this track should stand hi…
