Course winner (1m4f) who is just 1lb higher than when successful at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in April; two quiet runs since returning to the AW in September leave him with a bit to prove, though.
Off the mark at the 13th attempt at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month when trained by Alice Haynes (dead-heated but awarded the race outright); makes her debut for her new yard, but heavy defeats in both previous visits here raise doubts and she may beed further than this now.
Mainly plies his trade in amateur riders' races; has dropped to a favourable mark and stable going well, but he is 0-14 on the AW; may again find one or two too good back from a short break.
Losing run up to 23 and the drop to Class 6 level has made little difference the last twice, albeit he may have needed the run when eighth of ten at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 12 days ago (prominent in the betting); has come well treated and worth a second look.
Just 1-16 but his record over C&D reads 24250314, the win coming at the start of the month when draw out in stall 13; again ran well when fourth of 12 in a slightly better race back here a week ago and high on the list.
Usually seen over further, but managed to come out best in a blanket finish over C&D last month; encountered plenty of trouble when fifth of 12 back here last time and capable of playing a part with a bit more luck.
Has won twice on turf, once on Polytrack and once over hurdles; likes to be ridden handily and may not face much competition for the lead, but she failed to beat a rival at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and needs to leave that behind.
Moderate form in three novices, failing to beat a rival in both starts at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta); bred to relish the longer trip on handicap debut, but would like to see money for him before getting involved.
Three-time winner for Grant Tuer including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta); finished around 14l behind Magic Runner when eighth of 12 on stable debut over C&D this month, though.
0-12 but has shown ability on occasions, though he was a bit disappointing having been sent off favourite for his stable debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; needs to find a bit more upped in trip.
Modest in three starts, the latest on her return from a break here (8.6f; 100-1) four weeks ago; probably only of interest if backed on handicap debut.
2-33; ran with credit when fourth of ten in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) earlier this month and the winner has gone in again since; each-way claims.
Out of the frame in five starts, albeit not disgraced when sixth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) four weeks ago; will need to settle better than he did then in the first-time cheekpieces if he is to see out the longer trip.
