Well treated on his two soft-ground wins (7.6f/8.3f) last summer, but he's struggled in last three runs including a 14l defeat when upped to 1m2f at Chester last time; now drops back in grade but he has plenty to prove.
Won fast-ground novice events here (7f) and at Beverley (7.4f) in 2022 but he missed last year and has had three heavy defeats for new yard this season; mark is tumbling but he virtually refused to race last time and can only be watched at this new trip.
Hasn't won since July 2022 but she's well treated on old form and has caught the eye with her placed efforts at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last twice; looks ready for this step back up in trip and has claims if she can continue the good work; usually held up and she seems versatile ground-wise.
Unexposed 3yo who showed promise in maiden events (including on soft) and was a respectable fourth from off the pace on handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; that was behind an improver who was always prominent and he should have more to offer at this trip; in the mix.
Act on good to firm and good to soft; well treated on best form at up to 1m2f for Richard Hannon and was a fair fifth on stable debut at Salisbury (1m) in August; has claims if he can build on that but he's not easy to predict and is now 0-10.
Made it 2-12 when landing a Ripon handicap (1m, good to firm) in August, but he didn't find a great deal when a well-held third off this revised mark at Musselburgh last month; bit to prove again after that and he's untried at this trip.
Won on good to soft at Carlisle (1m1f) in June, but he's taken three backward steps since and was laboured after a slow start at Southwell (1m4f) last time; now only 2lb higher than for his last win but he needs to get back on track.
Now 3lb lower than for his Haydock win (1m2f, good) last July, but there has not been much joy this season and he's been well held on fast and slow ground in last four runs; needs a major upturn in form.
Both turf wins have been on soft and latest was at Nottingham (1m2f) in April; well handicapped on that form but has not matched it since and he hung left when down the field over C&D ten days ago; others preferred.
7yo who has got back in the groove with wins at Haydock (1m2f, heavy) and Hamilton (1m4f, soft) in last two runs; 7lb higher under a penalty for her win on Monday but that was a clearcut success and she remains well treated on old form; big player again back in trip.
Has done well since joining Brian Ellison this summer including a heavy-ground win at Ffos Las (1m2f) in August and a creditable fourth on soft at Catterick (1m4f) on Wednesday; this is a quick turnaround but he's respected back in trip.
Regressive RPRs in his four starts so far and was last of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in August; still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f.
Well-bred gelding who has some smart middle-distance winners on the dam's side; tailed off in his first two runs but he made some late headway when an encouraging fifth in Chelmsford maiden (1m, AW) in August; open to more progress now upped in trip on handicap debut and he needs a close look.
Well held in his three qualifying runs and he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Ayr (1m5f, good) last month; that trip may have stretched him but he needs to show a lot more on this drop to 1m2f.
Tailed off in two bumpers and he's been well held at massive prices in three Flat runs (7f/1m) since August; now goes handicapping but he needs improvement on this step up to 1m2f.
