Landed a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) in September but has struggled in three handicap starts since, most recently on her reappearance at Kempton in April; off since and now returns off a 3lb lower mark.

Won 7f novice on Southwell AW in September but disappointing in three starts since, including at Newmarket (1m, good; first start since wind surgery) in June; drops back to 6f with a bit to prove; cheekpieces on.

The Tunguska Event
Front-runner who gained his third win when holding on to land a Catterick handicap over 6f in May; ran well at Doncaster (6f, good) next time and it looks worth forgiving last month's Newcastle effort (5f, AW), having raced alone towards the far rail; could go well.

Runner-up on his debut at Thirsk (5f, good) last May but hasn't built on that in four starts since; never featured after being slowly into stride in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last month and has since been dropped another 3lb.

Off the mark when making all at Redcar (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser effort when a solid third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; he isn't the most consistent and cheekpieces now go on.

Landslide
Modest form when fifth of six at Brighton (6f, good to firm; first-time hood/cheekpieces) and he was reported to have hung left when failing to beat a rival at Kempton (7f, AW) three weeks ago; headgear returns for his handicap debut.

Pimentel
Sole win from nine starts came in a nursery at Brighton (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last September; clear second behind an easy winner at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month and it was another solid effort at Brighton (7f) three weeks ago; drops back in trip with claims.

0-8 but he was a front-running second of 11 at Bath (5.5f, good; beaten 3l) last month; however, he dropped away after showing early speed at Windsor (5f, good to firm; reported to have stopped quickly) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back.
