J: Cieren Fallon

T: David O’Meara

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Three-time course winner (two at this trip) who has been running consistently well in defeat, as when beaten just over a length into third of 12 over C&D ten days ago; should go well again but a losing run of 18 does raise questions.

Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look.

Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix.

Tough, consistent sort; hasn't won on turf for more than three years but plenty of decent placed runs this term, including when second over 1m here in May (good to firm) and when close third over 6f at Hamilton in June (good to soft); yet to win over 1m.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Michael Attwater

Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look.

Form & Verdict
Looked unlucky when a close third (Beale Street behind) over C&D on his penultimate start, but only sixth of 12 (behind two of these) when sent off favourite back here ten days ago; may not have been racing on the favoured part of the track and could bounce back.
