Al Hofzan
Promise in two 7f runs this autumn, more recently finishing second of five behind a red-hot favourite at Chelmsford last month; more minor money on the cards.

Hostility
Hasn't matched his peak Irish form in five runs for his new connections; latest Newcastle fourth was a backwards step but any of his four previous efforts would give him strong claims in a weak maiden.

Beat one rival home in two starts in October (7f, good and 6f, AW); not easily recommended.

Reddeef
Disappointed in an 8.6f handicap here 19 days ago (went without any accessories) but he had been showing enough prior to that to think he could feature in a race of this nature; tongue tie and blinkers back on now.

Splinterwood
Third foal of a 5f winner (RPR 90), herself from a useful sprinting family; starts out in an uncompetitive race and with his stable going well; needs a market check.

Enternal Moonlight
First foal of a minor 5f-7f winner (including AW; RPR 76); stable not renowned for winning newcomers and likely best watched, even in this uncompetitive maiden.

Squiffy
Ended up beaten over 9l on her Southwell debut (1m) two weeks ago but she was in need of the experience and left the impression she could do better with the run under her belt; Billy Loughnane booked (23% strike-rate for the stable) and she's one to consider.
