Mr Baloo
Record of 6-17 on AW and his last win was over C&D in March; now 1lb lower than for that success but he's finished down the field in his last six starts and last two have been at this track; has something to prove and he's drawn out widest of all.

Arcadian Nights
Ten-time AW winner who completed a hat-trick over C&D in March but he's had only four runs since and was tailed off at Epsom in September; now returns to Tapeta but he needs a major revival after another break.

Brasil Power
Come-from-behind performer who has won five times on AW, including at Kempton (1m) ten days ago; up 3lb but this step back up in trip is no problem and he's a key player back on Tapeta.

Zryan
Two wins in France and he's had some close calls in his six starts in Britain, including at this track; held in fifth when favourite here (8.6f) last week but he didn't get much luck and was only beaten around 2l; headgear is now removed but he has possibilities back up in trip.

Sheriff's Court
Made it 2-3 on turf when scoring at Carlisle (1m, soft) in July but he's been well held in both subsequent runs; still has low mileage but he has a mixed record on AW and others are more convincing.

Shihoku
Won a Chantilly maiden (9.5f, AW) in February; has had his struggles since then but he turned things around with a near-miss here (8.6f) last Saturday; back up 2lb but he's not been with James Owen for long and is a big player if he can repeat that latest form.

Expert Witness
Won off 2lb lower at Windsor (1m2f) in April but she's been well held in three subsequent starts; returns after another wind operation but she needs to bounce back near best.

San Juanito
Won two in a row here (8.6f/9.4f) in the spring but he's lost his way on turf since and was tailed off in last two runs for the Crisfords; changed hands for 12,000gns in October; still has low mileage but he needs to turn things around back on AW for new yard; visor worn last time is removed.

All three wins have been at Kempton and he came from off the pace to finish third there (1m) last month; this is his first run on Tapeta but he's on same mark as last time and he should get a decent tow into this race; possibilities.

Phone Tag
Has a very patchy profile but he's won three of his last seven starts including when beating 13 rivals at Newmarket (1m1f. good) in October; 5lb higher back on AW but he was as good as ever last time and he's effective on Tapeta; respected.

Market House
Dual Tapeta winner (1m4f), who scored over hurdles at Fontwell in June but he's struggled in that sphere in last three runs; has had wind surgery but yard runs two in this race and he needs a major revival back on the Flat; tongue-tie removed.

Shahbaz
Defied this mark at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) in August but he's not gone on from that and has been laboured at Kempton in both runs for current yard; has some questions to answer and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip.
