This looks a potentially-informative maiden with Richard Hannon's stable, who won it three years in a row prior to 2013, saddling both George William and War Whisper. Jockey bookings suggest the latter is more forward. Welford is out of Dubawi but his dam was a best over middle-distances. Bobby Wheeler is a son of Pivotal and a half-brother to three winners while Henry Candy's juveniles are usually worth a second look here, though Noble Peace might need more time. IN HASTE has a clutch of fancy entries and was unlucky last time in the Lily Agnes at Chester. He was staying on strongly so the longer trip here will suit and he's preferred to Bath fourth Captainthunderbolt.
