Keith Dalgleish and Joe Fanning have been a combination to follow on the all-weather in recent months and can take that form onto turf here with MAID OF MEFT. She was well-supported when scoring with something in hand at Wolverhampton very recently and looks the one to beat if translating that form to turf. Ostentation needs to improve on a recent claiming success at Lingfield but has the benefit of fitness, whilst Ad Value could be a major threat after a solid and consistent time in a late-starting campaign last season. He's certainly worth keeping on side in low grade handicaps. Knox Overstreet has shown improved form over timber recently for the Channon team and would be interesting if able to deliver a similar level switching back to the Flat.
