Won at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last November but he's had only five runs since and has struggled in all of them; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs a major turnaround; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Not beaten many in three starts this year and has been off for five months, but he is back off the same mark as when successful over C&D this time last year which came after a similar absence; worth a second look. |

Has returned from a summer break in good form, gaining second win on the Flat this year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; 4lb penalty; sound chance in a modest event back at 1m4f. |

Versatile mare who has yet to win on the AW but has won over hurdles/fences/a bumper and on turf Flat; sound run when runner-up to an easy winner over C&D last time (first three well clear); interesting contender. |

Five-time course winner, three of them over tonight's trip, latterly off 2lb lower last month; hit traffic in a messy affair at Wolverhampton latest and, while a bigger field would have been ideal (is usually dropped in and can pull), he's shortlisted. |

No AW win since January 2023 (Newcastle, 12.5f); managed to score at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last July but fortunes dipped markedly towards the end of the turf season; more than enough to prove after layoff. |

Two-time C&D winner; near miss at Beverley in July (1m2f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level at Ripon last month (1m3f, good); caught wide when underperforming at Pontefract last week; dangerous at this level in an uncompetitive race; jockey having first ride as an apprentice (0-5 as an amateur). |

A fair Flat/hurdles winner for Rebecca Menzies but he's yet to offer much in three runs for his current yard, well held in a pair of 2m handicap hurdles last month; he's hard to warm to. |
