Form & Verdict
Eight-time winner, with three on AW and five on turf; now 3lb lower than for his success at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January and he showed signs of a revival with fifth there last Saturday; looks interesting if he can build on that and he was won over C&D; cheekpieces back on.

Multiple Bath/Brighton winner but scored over C&D in 2017; mainly disappointing since last win in summer so, although he should be better for last run, is easy enough to take on.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over 5f but she has form at this trip, including when third of five behind an improver over C&D (good to firm) last time; that was her third solid effort in a row and she's respected off 1lb lower here.

Lost all chance at the start when behind two of these over C&D (good) eight days ago and had run with some credit in three starts at Brighton prior to that, but losing run is up to 33 and her best form has come over shorter.

On a three-year losing run; however, has shown satisfactory form over 6f at Brighton since joining current yard, while shaping as if she's worth another crack at this longer distance; could go well.

Nothing like the force of old but she retains some ability and has run creditably in both starts for this yard, latterly finishing second over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; each-way claims; new headgear.

Form & Verdict
Infrequent winner who is not easy to predict but he ran well back this trip when a front-running fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; was beaten less than 2l in that race and he's a big player if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Multiple AW scorer but his sole win from 32 starts on turf was in 2018; finished runner-up on Polytrack at Lingfield (5f) in April but he's struggled since, including at this track (5.3f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; opposable back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record this season and he struggled here 17 days ago but that was in a Class 4 event and he popped up with a win over C&D in May; comes with risks attached but he's only 2lb higher than for last success and has claims if he can bounce back again.

Now a 12yo but he went close over C&D two starts back and appeared to be undone by the sharp 5f when fifth of six at Lingfield last time; not easy to rule him out.

Has dropped a long way in the weights but she's yet to finish placed in her 13 starts and has been beaten 8l here and at Chelmsford (both at 7f) in last two runs; blinkers are now added on this return to sprinting but she makes little appeal.
