Verdict: Rebel Star is weighted to reverse last week's Lingfield placing with MIDNIGHTATTHEOASIS but it may not be that straightforward.

13/8

Comment: Improved for the addition of a visor and switch to handicaps, stepping up on her Wolverhampton second when headed in the final strides by Midnightattheoasis at Lingfield six days ago; weighted to reverse the placings today and she's not fully exposed.

Buraback

Jockey: Lewis Edmunds Trainer: Derek Shaw Age/Wt: 6/9-8 F: 553329 OR: 60

5/2

Comment: Good run of form came to an end at Wolverhampton 19 days ago but he was poorly drawn on that occasion; type to bounce back quickly.

7/2

Comment: Impressive over 6f here in December and he's run some good races in defeat since; dangerous mark but likely he'll need them to go too fast early now dropping back to 5f.

Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: J. R. Jenkins Age/Wt: 8/9-8 F: 46-851 OR: 60

6/1

Comment: Recorded the 16th win of his career (15 on AW) when gamely landing a C&D handicap five weeks ago; 3lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's one to take seriously.

Wedgewood

Jockey: Jack Doughty Trainer: Tony Carroll Age/Wt: 5/9-9 F: 2-7627 OR: 61

12/1

Comment: Good record on AW, including a placed effort over C&D, and she's on the same mark as when headed in the final stride at Wolverhampton last month; backward step back at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and there is other pace to worry about today.

Midnightattheoasis

Jockey: Brandon Wilkie Trainer: Phil McEntee Age/Wt: 5/10-0 F: 381111 OR: 51

2 tips

Comment: In the form of his life at present, winning three times in March and completing a four-timer when extricating himself from a tricky position at Lingfield on Tuesday; huge penalty to shoulder but Brandon Wikie's claim offsets some of it and the five-timer beckons.

Sir Benedict

Jockey: J P Spencer Trainer: Stella Barclay Age/Wt: 7/8-12 F: 63738 OR: 50

Comment: In and out this year but he's down in the weights and last week's Newcastle eighth (behind Midnightattheoasis) isn't the run to judge him on as he ran into traffic at a crucial stage and lost all his momentum; first run at Chelmsford.
