Verdict
SHAGRAAN had a very productive first season for Mick Appleby, scoring over C&D prior to posting a career-best performance when going in again at Haydock in September. With his final start probably best overlooked, he appeals as one to keep onside again this campaign and shades the vote on return to action. Miss Attitude had valid excuses at Bath latest and is a likely type to bounce back. Toca Madera and Rhythm N Hooves are others fancied to be involved.

VerdictImproved model for this stable last season, winning over C&D and posted a career-best effort when resuming winning ways at Haydock (5f) in September. Quick turnaround may of caught him out when midfield on final start in Portland at Doncaster (5.6f) and he's of interest on return to action. - 3.

VerdictUseful handicapper who tasted success over 6f last summer. Sound return to action despite racing freely when second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 15 days ago. Gone well here previously and he's worth a second look.

VerdictProved better than ever when winning valuable C&D handicap here last summer. Absent since finishing creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (5f) 8 months ago, so market can guide as to expectations ahead of this.

VerdictComes here on a lengthy losing run but hard to knock his consistency, running with credit on AW prior to finishing a good second of 11 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 10 days ago. However, suspicion he'll find a couple too strong again.

VerdictWrapped up a good 2024 campaign with a 6f Ascot win in October. Raced freely and ultimately shaped as if badly needing the run after 6 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 26 days ago. Better anticipated here.

Verdict2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March and he confirmed himself still in top form when runner-up in handicap back at that venue 26 days ago.

VerdictUseful mare. Successful reappearance at Southwell (5f) in March and latest run in listed company at Bath (5f) 12 days ago best excused having encountered trouble in running. Best treated as still in top form returned to handicaps.

VerdictWithout a win since his debut but again not disgraced switched back to turf when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Newmarket (5f, good) 15 days ago. Still, others appeal more overall.- Unnamed Favourite
