Won three times in early part of year and was back in good nick when close fourth (hampered close home) over C&D (good) last month but may find others better handicapped in this stronger race; cheekpieces refitted.

Won three times in early part of this year, most recently here (3m2f, good) in April, but seemed to have gone off the boil on last two outings in May/June and current mark demands a career-best performance.

J: Mr Robbie David

T: Daisy Hitchins

Ridden by Robbie David on last eight outings; won four of his 15 races last season, with a stack of place returns as well; latest win was off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, followed by a creditable second there but he was pulled up at Southwell five weeks ago; has bounced back before but this is a tough race in which to do it.

Beaten favourite on last three starts, albeit one upped to 3m4f and Class 3 and another over hurdles; largely back on track with last month's Wincanton second, and doesn't appear weighted out of further gains.

Hit the ground running for this yard with two chase wins in the autumn (3m/3m2f, good to soft) and then ran pretty well in a marathon chase at Windsor; latest defeat was over hurdles and is probably best forgiven.

Started off for Sam Thomas with two chase wins in the autumn (3m/3m2f, good to soft) and subsequently ran well in quite valuable Windsor marathon; reverts to hurdling on a lower mark and needs to be taken very seriously; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Back from a break of 151 days to finish an 11l third over Exeter's 2m7f (good to firm), where she looked threatening before flattening out late on; had another 60 days away since then but looks capable of winning something like this.

Usually ridden by James Davies and won three 2m-2m4f handicaps in a row in November/December; backward steps on his two outings since and his free-going tendency is a concern for this longer trip.

9yo who snapped a long losing sequence on this month's stable debut at Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft) when wearing a first-time visor (retained) on his first outing since wind surgery; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer for this yard; should be major player.

Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces.
