J: Billy Garritty

T: Liam Bailey

Front-runner who won over C&D and at Southwell (2m) in the spring but he's been beaten 12l or more in last two starts; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back on AW.

J: Billy Garritty

Soft and heavy-ground turf winner who won twice in the spring (1m4f/2m, AW); easy to excuse latest effort when down the field in a competitive consolation race; mark okay and he's not dismissed back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 152, all over 1m6f here, since a gelding operation; routed eight rivals then proved bitterly disappointing 15 days later; back from over five months off with fine second a fortnight ago (pair clear; PB); major player if putting best foot forward.

9st 6lb

J: Darragh Keenan

T: S Woods

Last four starts in cheekpieces; went close at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; acts on AW) in June but the effect of the headgear seems to have worn off and he was beaten a long way four weeks ago; carries risks after that but does have a commendable course record and that keeps him in the picture.

Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed four times this year; may have found the drop back in trip against him when fifth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers but he may find this trip on the sharp side.

0-9 but runner-up on two occasions this year, including here over 1m6f in January; beat only one of his four rivals home over this C&D eight days ago but left the impression a stiffer test of stamina would have suited; cheekpieces added.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Philip Kirby

Low-mileage 5yo who is going the right way for his current yard, runner-up in handicaps at Newcastle (2m) and over C&D in January; the form of both those races has been well advertised since so he holds excellent claims in his bid for a breakthrough success.

Won juvenile hurdle at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November and returned to form to win handicap against older horses at Huntingdon (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; did it easily last time and a 9lb rise may not stop him.
