- Fifty Sent: Ran a respectable third on stable debut at Newcastle five weeks ago and could improve with that run behind him. He was 0-7 for Michael Bell last year but did reach the frame on a couple of occasions.
- Pallas Lord: Two course wins over shorter distances, and had a near miss over this course and distance on his penultimate start (off this mark). He was tailed off last time, but 1m4f on slow turf was likely too much of a test; better expected today.
- Kardinya: An infrequent winner who has found it tough going since his Wolverhampton win (extended 1m1f) in December; connections are now trying different headgear.
- Tafsir: Ran as well as she ever has when finishing third, beaten under one length, over this course and distance last week. She is unexposed at the trip and capable of further progress.
These are the top four contenders based on the provided information, with no additional horses overlooked in the rankings.

- Crystal Mariner: A well-bred colt who made an encouraging start to his career when finishing third of seven at Pontefract four weeks ago. He looked green there, but could take a big step forward with that run behind him, making him a major player in this race.
- Open Choice: Missed the break on his debut at Newcastle but did well to finish a close fourth. He could show improvement if he sees out the longer trip and is capable of better.
- Evident: Beaten 20l when last of five in a 1m2f novice at Beverley 12 days ago, but is bred to do considerably better. He could prove to be a different proposition when switched to the all-weather surface.
- Lion’s Pride: Has a promising pedigree, being a half-brother to several winners, and is starting out in a winnable event. He is one to watch in this race.

- Snafiya: Performed well on her Nottingham debut last week, finishing strong despite being up against a rival with the benefit of a run. She sets a fair standard for the newcomers to aim at, but will likely need to show improvement to secure a win.
- Bahoa: A February foal with a dam who was a 6f all-weather winner from a useful family. The stable has a good record with 2-year-olds this year, making Bahoa a notable newcomer in the race.
- Mystical Illusion: A January foal with strong paper claims, as her dam was a Listed-placed 5f winner and a half-sister to two Group 1-winning sprinters. However, the stable’s 2-year-olds have yet to make an impact this season.
- Out Of Line: A February foal with a dam who was a Group-placed 5f-6f winner. The stable’s 2-year-olds are performing well, making her one to watch for market confidence.

- Wasdale: Has made good progress since dropping to selling company last September, with a 6f nursery win here and a smooth course and distance success on her reappearance in February. However, this race looks more challenging and she carries an additional 4lb.
- Tyke: Well-backed winner on debut at Southwell last month but fell short on soft turf at Doncaster 11 days ago. Improvement is required for the drop in trip if he’s to defy his opening mark.
- Project Black: Showed promise by winning a Redcar novice event on his second start, but disappointed as a favourite on his reappearance/handicap debut at Pontefract. Dropping to 5f shouldn’t be an issue and he’s capable of better.
- Raven’s Up: Won a small-field 5f novice on turf last summer and placed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago, but never looked a threat and didn’t seem an easy ride in the straight. Other contenders may be more appealing.

- Elzaal: Has won five of his last six starts, all over course and distance, and his come-from-behind style is making it difficult for the handicapper to keep up. He is 3lb higher against stronger opposition today but still expected to give it another good go.
- Glorious Rio: A three-time course and distance winner, now down to a handy mark and has been running well this year. The return to 5f will suit and he’s another who could bounce back to his best.
- Saaheq: Back in the groove for his new stable, he was an easy winner of a Class 6 at Chelmsford 19 days ago. That effort was backed up by the clock, and he still has handicapping scope despite a 5lb rise.
- Sugar Baby: A course and distance winner with two turf wins last summer, she ran her best race to date when missing out by a short head here in November. She is 2lb higher today and coming back from a break, so it may not be the ideal time to catch her.

- Martineo: Placed on his last three starts and possesses more than enough ability to win a race of this nature. He is more appealing than most.
- Written Broadcast: Has two 7f wins on Tapeta this year and didn’t run badly on turf last week. Dropping back into a 0-55 will be in his favour, and he should perform well.
- Eyes: It’s been a while since her last win, but she wasn’t beaten far in a similar race over course and distance in March, having travelled best. That race has been well advertised since, and she can race off a lower mark today, making her a key player.
- Mr Coco Bean: Over two years since his last win, he had the odd promising effort over the winter, but it’s likely that there will be a few stronger contenders today.

- Asdaa: Had a purple patch on the AW around the turn of the year, winning three times over 1m. Back to his last winning mark, he might not face much pace pressure in this field, so a big run is on the cards.
- Young Fire: Doesn’t often find the races being run to suit on AW, but he managed to win at Wolverhampton in March when dropped into a Class 5. Although he was less impressive in better races since, going back down in grade will help.
- Anif: Gained the 11th win of his career when scrambling home over 7f here in March, followed by two creditable efforts. Returning to 1m should see him in a better light.
- Windsor Pass: Yet to win in 15 starts, but she ran a cracker on her stable debut here (7f) in March and turned in another solid effort over 1m at Lingfield 13 days ago. She should be in the thick of it.
