Form & Verdict
Has won four times over 6f since December 16 (three of them here) and he went very close at Wolverhampton (6f) on Tuesday; not short of speed so there can be plenty of optimism that he'll be fine now back down to 5f, and he's a leading contender.

Particularly successful on Tapeta but he was a wide-margin winner over C&D in June and again won from the front at Wolverhampton in his only subsequent AW run; the chasers were closing there but he had the race in the bag from some way out and, back up 3lb, he looks sure to go well again.

Nine-time winner, the latest a comfortable success in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last month; his subsequent defeat on soft turf is easy to forgive; high on the list.

Last 23 starts have come on the AW and he is 4lb well in under a penalty for his emphatic success in refitted blinkers at Lingfield (6f) ten days ago; he has won twice on turf, though, so the change in surface shouldn't be an issue; major player.

In good form since joining this yard and made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring comfortably over C&D on Friday; a 5lb penalty may not stop him today.

All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.

Continues to drop down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting with top amateur Simon Walker booked; however, there was no return to form here in October and he's back from another break today; something to prove.

Serena Brotherton is a good booking and he won over C&D two starts ago; however, that's been his only good performance from his last six outings and he was well beaten over C&D last time, so he's not a solid option.
