Bizou (F)
Went the wrong way last year but returned from 5 months off with a good second in 10-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 37 days ago. Current mark looks exploitable on that evidence.

Beta Reader (G)
[P]
Placed in back-to-back 1¼m Lingfield handicaps in January/February and can have a line up out through his latest effort there. However, underperformed back down in trip at Kempton on most recent outing.

Happy Chandler (G)
FAV
[B]
Has made a good start to the campaign, benefiting from the step up to 1¼m when off the mark at Leicester recently. Nudged up 5 lb but could have more to come at this trip.

Read All About It (F)
[P]
Fared much better than previously in handicaps fitted with first-time cheekpieces when third of 8 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February, albeit very much having the run of the race. Wouldn't be sure to bult on that.

Haveagobeau (G)
Doubled his tally in cosy fashion in 10-runner minor event (15/2) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) in March. Should remain competitive back on turf.

Jack Dace | J R Boyle | 7 | 57.6 kg |

Fighting Poet (G)
[B]
Regained the winning thread in a race very much run to suit at Brighton (1¼m) in August. Went off the boil in the autumn, though, so needs to get back on track after a break.

Callum Hutchinson | R T Phillips | 8 | 57.2 kg |

Celebrating Ethel (M)
Got the job done in a 7-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March but followed that with a below-par effort in race won by Hawaiian King at Lingfield on latest start. Bounce back called for.

Rossa Ryan | A W Carroll | 7 | 56.7 kg |

Hawaiian King (G)
[B1]
Reached the frame in his first 3 handicaps around 1¼m and faced inadequate tests at 1m on his last 2 outings. Wears first-time blinkers and well worth another chance back up in trip.
