Hold-up performer; good strike-rate on AW and he comes here on the back of a series of fine runs on turf; deep-closing style not always conducive to this track but a good pace looks assured and he's high on the list.
All runs for current yard have been at 6f, winning at Wolverhampton one year ago off 1lb higher; hasn't landed a blow in two Class 4 handicaps this summer, but he's back up in trip and down in class so a revival isn't out of the question.
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and he's dropped to a lowly mark; last month's return from a break should have blown away the cobwebs and he's not discounted.
Prominent racer; in good order this season, winning at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) before a close fourth at Newmarket four weeks ago; drawn widest and there is other pace to contend with in this field.
Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot.
Won five on the spin last season, four of them here (all 6f); running creditably in defeat this year but she needs the step back up in trip to have a positive effect if she's to win.
Stepped up on his novice form when making most of the running in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond him in time but it won't be easy dominating in this more competitive race.
Front-runner; two 6f wins to his name, the latest here off 6lb lower last month; solid effort when second at Yarmouth last month; on the up but the extra furlong in a race full of pace looks a worry.
Made a winning debut at Wolverhampton in June (7f); similar form in his two handicap runs, more recently when a close third of eight at Kempton two weeks ago; needs extra to take this.
Ten-race maiden but he's been threatening, including over C&D, and last week's Newcastle second was a career-best; should get a good pace to aim at and he's high on the list with his rider's claim a bonus.
Competitive in good company on AW earlier in the year; three heavy defeats on turf this summer don't instil much confidence but he's been dropped 8lb and it's possible he'll prove a better horse on this surface; could go well.
Gained his first handicap win when produced late to land a 6f event at Lingfield last week; unpenalised for that apprentice race win (3lb well in); has stamina to prove but he has to be high on the list.
