Didaar (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 66

Remains a maiden but caught the eye on first run for Denis Quinn when never-nearer third of 12 in handicap at Kempton in December. Not seen to best effect at Lingfield (1¼m) when last seen in January, so he's one to note on stable debut.

Without a win last year, but with cheekpieces applied he ran better than for a while when length second of 9 to Siam Fox in handicap at Yarmouth 23 days ago. Now needs to back up latest effort.

Pay Attention

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 2lbs

With visor on for first time, left reappearance run behind when second of 13 in handicap at Newbury 5 weeks ago. Remains 1 lb below his winning mark so merits consideration on the back of his latest effort.

Into Combat

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 6lbs

Well-bred type but not much impact in his 3 qualifying runs (trained by Ralph Beckett on debut). Didn't fare any better switched to handicaps on final 2 starts last year, though, well held at Nottingham when last seen in October.

Gladiadora (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 63

Has made positive start overall for current yard, gaining a second win of the all-weather campaign at Southwell (7f) in March. Shaped well next 2 outings before a lesser effort at Yarmouth last time. No surprise to see her bounce back with tongue strap fitted.

Has shown improved form this season, resuming winning ways at Kempton early last month and running at least as well in first-time hood when fourth of 14 at the same course 24 days ago. Task now is to transfer his progression back onto turf.

Freddie's Star (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 12lbs
Or: 70

Placed on first 3 starts before landing short odds in a 7f Chelmsford novice in November. Hasn't cut much ice in 3 handicaps since, so application of cheekpieces needs to help spark a return to form as he drops in grade.

Timeform Verdict

TIMELY AFFAIR arrives in good heart, pulling clear of the remainder when third at Yarmouth last month, and he is taken to record a third success of the year. Siam Fox bounced back to winning ways on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Pay Attention.
