I WILL FOLLOW is a risky proposition after a year off the track but he won five of six starts in 2016 and drops in class for this along with a few others. Kronwall beat Preacher's Bluff here in March before disappointing last time while Boleo is capable of going close at this level.

SOUTHERN TREASURE is one of several with claims in a tight contest. She's won four of her last five starts and beaten Go To The Alter the last twice. Croix Du Soleil narrowly beat She'll Gert'er Done and Hurrah For Two here last time and Newcomb is not out of this either.

OPTIMISM AND HOPE was winning a tougher race than this in allowance company in February and may prove good enough for John Martin's in-form yard. Loveintheshadows and Hijra rarely win nowadays but are dropped in class for this and have the past form to figure.

NO SPIN ZONE posted her best effort yet when beaten only a head here last month with Betdesilvergold a length behind. The latter had earlier finished runner-up ahead of Unwanted and can figure again while Cup Of Kaffy can get involved with any further progress.

PERCY'S BLUFF has obvious claims having notched up an eight-race win streak on the main track and beating the in-form Broken Up here last time. Unexposed on turf, he's the one to beat. Gurnick has the best win record on this surface and could also get involved.

ALGENON is one of several old foes taking each other on once again. It could be his turn today having finished runner-up here last time ahead of Malibou Alex and the disappointing Mah Gellin. The latter had earlier finished in front of Pure Comedy when placed here while Indian Brut and Allaboutaction can also figure.

TEQUILA MARY bids for a hat-trick having finished well ahead of Rose Among Thorns in this grade last time. Brookys Star was beaten only a nose last month with Russian Radiance in close attendance while Hal's Buddy has the past form to figure.

VALIANT FLAME is worth sticking with in his current form having rattled-up a treble with his latest victory. He beat Royal Alexei earlier while Pete's Slew had been in good form before last month's poor effort. Rideo and Tiz Point are both capable in this grade if at their best.

ONEFORTHETEAM found only one too good here last month and can open his account in this having subsequently joined an in-form trainer. He's preferred to stablemate Bobby Magic but The Ice Box Kid looks a threat stepping up in trip after posting an improved effort over 6f.
