| 7th | 1 | 4 |
Secret Testimony (G)
Showed improved form when successful on all-weather debut at Newcastle in November. That remains a standout effort, down the field at Southwell on his latest outing 11 days ago, but this drop back in grade could at least help.

Black Rock Beauty (G)
[P1]
Making only second handicap start, didn't settle well enough upped to this trip when fourth of 7 at Kempton in February. Bred to stay this far, though, so he merits consideration with cheekpieces on first time.

Realistic Dream (F)
After 3 months off, wasn't disgraced on first run since leaving A. Slattery when 2½ lengths sixth of 7 at Musselburgh (5f) in April. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Hamilton (6f) only 4 days later, so she could fare better this …

Maybe Soon (F)
Showed ability when fourth over 6f on first 2 starts and hasn't been seen to best effect upped to 7f the last twice, hampered early in the straight at Southwell 6 weeks ago. Not ruled out as she makes the switch to turf.

Walk On Walk On (G)
[B1]
Made the frame twice last year when trained by Des Donovan. However, he failed to get involved in a pair of handicaps for current yard last month, finishing sixth in 9-runner contest over 1m here 18 days ago. Blinkers now reached for.

Jamie Gormley | N Wilson | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Truly Special (F)
Best effort when third in a 1m Leicester nursery on penultimate start last season. After 6 months off/left David O'Meara, shaped as if better for the outing when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby 22 days ago. This run should reveal more.

Long Shot (G)
FAV
[P]
With cheekpieces added for return, showed improved form when keeping on for third in 6f handicap at this course last month, the winner and fifth both scoring next time. Unable to build on that effort here 11 days ago, but no surprise to se…

Twilight Dawn (F)
Only modest form at best at 2 yrs and failed to improve after 5 months off when fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f) 23 days ago. Will need to find more with recent run behind her.

Joanna Mason | S Whitaker | 3 | 57.2 kg |

| 5th | 9 | 6 |
Enduring Story (F)
Little promise in a trio of starts this spring, again failing to beat a rival in 6-runner novice at Catterick 26 days ago. Needs to leave those efforts well behind as she makes handicap debut, but she's worth a market check.
