Society Man
Good effort to win a competitive 7f handicap at Kempton in October; weakened in the final furlong here two weeks ago (7f) and now has just his second attempt at 6f (well beaten in the Ayr Silver Cup on the other occasion).

Tiger Crusade
Took advantage of a drop into Class 5 company when winning a 7f handicap at Brighton when last seen in June; not much wiggle room off his higher AW rating though.

Valley Ofthe Kings
Progressive on AW in recent months, getting off the mark at Wolverhampton in October (5f; blinkered first time) and adding a Chelmsford handicap last month (6f); not so good at Kempton two weeks ago and another personal best will be required to take this.

Intervention
Prolific AW winner who enjoyed his finest hour on turf this summer when winning the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon; not at his best in either start last month and an easy lead seems unlikely.

Counsel
Behind Valley Ofthe Kings at Chelmsford on his return from a summer break but he quickly left that behind with an impressive front-running display over C&D last week; a 4lb penalty and other pace influences make this more demanding but he still looks a strong contender.

Mc Loven
On a good mark and arrives in form, third over 5f here two weeks ago having set a strong pace; has run well over 6f in the past but he would make more appeal at 5f.
