Sword Of Wessex (G)
[V]
Opened his account with the visor reapplied in a 4-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. That was a very thin race but he's up only 4 lb and it is still early days with a yard that can get the best out of similar t…

John Galt (G)
[PT]
Still looks a shade quirky but ran his best race on just his second handicap start when second of 5 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (1¾m) 16 days ago. This is his turf debut but he's a leading player with good-value claimer up.

Kurios Lady (F)
Proving consistent rather than progressive but she posted another solid effort when second of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, good, 7/2) 13 days ago. Longer trip here promises to suit.

Johnny Boom (G)

C&D winner last October. Good second of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1½m, soft) on last month's return, worn down only near the finish. Same mark today.

Iwantmytimewithyou (G)
Lost his form after gaining back-to-back wins on the turf last summer but he resumed from 7 months off with a good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) last month. Bit below that level at Beverley 16 days ago, though.

Trojan Truth (G)

Completed hat-trick at Chepstow last summer but below par when last seen at Wolverhampton in October. Others preferred returning from 6 months off.
