Form & Verdict
Come-from-behind performer who is usually seen over 6f these days, but two of his four wins have come over this trip; 4lb below his last winning mark, but he is the type who needs everything to fall right and is unraced on Tapeta.

Dual Kempton winner as a 2yo who's been expensive to follow in handicaps, getting turned over at 3-1 or shorter on six occasions; pulled hard in the visor back from a short break over C&D last week (third form of headgear tried).

Form & Verdict
Regained winning form over C&D in November and has run well to finish third off this mark in all three starts on Tapeta (7f/1m) since; has never raced above Class 4 company in his career, though, so may find this a shade too competitive.

T: K R Burke

Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy.

Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well.

T: Richard Fahey

7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina.

Form & Verdict
Usually seen over 6f these days and running well off this sort of mark over that trip lately, but he has won twice at 7f including over C&D early last year; interesting back up in trip, especially if market positive.

Unplaced in five starts on turf last summer and makes his AW debut after 143 days off having undergone wind surgery for a second time; 2lb below his last winning mark and sire's record of 7-35 (20%) on the Tapeta here offers hope; worth a market check.

Form & Verdict
Benefited from a good pace when winning narrowly at Musselburgh (7f, good) last June, but that his only success in his last 29 starts and form rather regressed afterwards; returns from four months off and will again need them to go hard up front over this trip.
