Form & Verdict
Recorded his eighth win when scoring over C&D last May; now 10lb lower than for that success but he's struggled since and slow starts have been a recurring theme; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival after wind surgery.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Dual C&D winner who defied this mark when beating 20 rivals at York last July; mixed record since then but his third at Southwell ten days ago was a creditable effort and he looks interesting back on Polytrack.

Ended a losing run when making most at Kempton (6f) last month and he ran another good race when runner-up at Lingfield two weeks ago; now goes back up in grade but he remains well treated on old form and is tactically versatile; key player.

Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW.

Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal.

Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark.

Placed four times in a row on AW last spring and had form figures of 21212143 in Jersey (5f-7f) last summer; has rejoined George Baker but he looks weighted near best off this mark and has some work to do after 167 days off.

Hold-up performer who has been placed a couple of times over 6f this winter and things didn't go his way at Lingfield last time; losing run is now up to 14 but he should get a good tow into this race and has each-way claims.

Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front.
