Diego El Queso
Off the mark in a C&D maiden in October and only went down narrowly on handicap debut over the same distance next time; weakened into eighth of 13 when stepped up to 1m2f at Chelmsford last time; can do better back at this trip and good claimer aboard.

Far From Dandy
Moderate first run back from a break after being gelded but won over C&D last time when keeping on well to lead at the finish off a mark of 78; should go close again.

Flaming Rib
Seven-time winner for British trainers; runner-up in 2022 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; improved over moderate stable debut for a close fourth in a 7f rated race here last time (0.5l behind Daler); possibilities with another step forward as he was formerly rated 113 at one point in his career; cheeckpieces on for the first time; declared for 5.55 here on Wednesday.

Daler
Got first career win with a comfortable victory in a C&D handicap in October off 72; well-backed off same weight in a 7f rated race on penultimate when slowly away and running on well for a 0.75l third; poor effort in a 1m handicap here last time; well drawn and good chance if at his best.

Independent Expert
Seven-time winner and 2-7 around here; justified favouritism in a 7f claimer in October and again ran well in a 1m claimer next time, when third of 14; below her best in a 7f claimer in final outing for Stephen Thorne; can do better.

Charming Whisper
Five-time winner on turf for Philip McBride; 0-6 on AW surface and yet to trouble the judge; was an eyecatcher when keeping on for a close fifth over 1m2f here last time on stable debut; can go well again.

Fixation
Made an immediate impact for new yard when scoring on stable debut over an extended 1m2f three weeks ago; appeared to benefit from the extra distance that day but ran well over 1m when runner-up in a Leopardstown maiden in August; well drawn and should be in the mix.

Added second career win with a Fairyhouse handicap success in May (1m2f, yielding) but was poor in four runs following that; returns from a break now and needs to return to his best.
