Form & Verdict
No win in his first 20 runs but he's won on AW in two of his last three starts, including over this trip at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but he pulled clear with a subsequent winner and remains well treated on his old form; key player.

Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb.

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query.

Form & Verdict
Nine-race maiden but he has form figures of 2323 in 7f AW handicaps and ran into a well-handicapped rival when third at Southwell two weeks ago; his last three runs have been in cheekpieces and he's respected with blinkers now tried.

J: Elle-May Croot

A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward.

9st 12lb

J: Elle-May Croot

T: Ivan Furtado

He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off.

J: Elle-May Croot

Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Has been in good form since returned to AW, with two runner-up efforts at Chelmsford (5f/6f) followed by a close third at Southwell (6f) two weeks ago; this is a new test at this new trip but he has shaped as though 7f should be within range and is respected.

Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied.

His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option.

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.

Form & Verdict
Signed off for Kevin Philippart de Foy with a win at Yarmouth (1m) in August but she's been well below form in three runs since for her new yard; now back on her winning mark but she needs a major revival back in trip.

Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.
