DIBBLE DABBLE routed her rivals under Fred Daly at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and can go in again. Boy George must be respected in his hat-trick bid, while Secret Beach has a shout after an encouraging return at Brighton.

Verdict
Got off the mark for the season in similar event at Doncaster 3 weeks ago under this rider, scoring with plenty more in hand than the result suggests. Can defy a 5 lb rise on that showing.

Verdict
Struck at Doncaster and Haydock under Jack Dace last month but thwarted in hat-trick bid at Windsor behind Boy George, an awkward start forcing a change of tactics as he was held up. Can bounce back.

Verdict
Fairly useful maiden who made a pleasing return at Brighton last month after a breathing operation, left poorly placed but making a move into contention before the lack of a recent outing seemed to tell. Could build on that back in trip.

Verdict
Form comes and goes but he's certainly returned at the top of his game, winning at Chepstow and Windsor, making all in good style under Oisin Murphy for latest success. Career-high mark to overcome now but has to be on the shortlist.

Been in good form at Wolverhampton, successful in April and running well a fortnight ago. This is harder back on turf.

Verdict
Snapped a long losing run when seeing off 5 rivals from the front over 1¼m at Bath last month. Hardly has the obvious profile of one likely to follow up but has scored here before and yard continues among the winners.

Verdict
Back down to mark he scored off at Chepstow last summer and has returned in good order, making the frame against his far younger rivals at Bath last time despite having been slowly away once more. This is a bit tougher.

Yet to win in either code but ran creditably returned to the Flat after 5 months off at Chepstow. Could find one.
