Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score.

Can get a bit worked up and not that consistent but he still won last summer at Ayr (1m2f) and Carlisle (1m1f) and ran creditably over 1m4f on final outing; no show at 33-1 for recent reappearance when a hood was enlisted, which it isn't today; competitive if this is one of his good days.

Wins for David O'Meara both came over C&D, including a division of this race two years ago; not beaten far at 100-1 here two months ago but looked flattered in a messy affair and he's generally struggled for this yard.

While not the force of old, his close fourth on the Flat this month showed that he's still capable of fair form in that sphere; went the wrong way in his four-race hurdle career last February-May but needs a second look.

J: Luke Morris

Unraced at two; just five starts for Harry Charlton and following 18,000gns sale it was a good start for these connections when second at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely softer ground is an unknown but he attracted support ahead of that stable debut and should cope with this drop back in trip; player.

Upped in trip and 11-10 favourite when weakening into third of six on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, AW) in September but that is the best form from his five starts; has otherwise not gone beyond 1m4f (tried in cheekpieces on final outing) so today's new trip might offer hope on this first run since 18,000gns sale out of Harry Charlton's last October.

Not at the top of her game this season but she's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fifth of seven here (1m5f, good) three weeks ago; the drop back in trip could help; not ruled out.

Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off.
