9st 11lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

Dual winner here, latterly over C&D off 1lb lower early in the year; usually gives his running, including when not beaten far in a small field at Redcar when last seen seven weeks ago, and holds claims.

Placed three consecutive times in May-July, most recently when close second off today's mark at York (5f, good to firm); behind Democracy Dilemma when mid-pack in big field at Glorious Goodwood last week but that certainly wasn't a bad run; can make his presence felt.

Played his part in a strong pace last time at York yet hung around to finish a half-length behind winner Ziggy's Triton; has little margin for error off this mark and other pace influences temper enthusiasm.

Used to make all but has become tactically versatile; all four wins have been at Chelmsford where he ran well from a wide draw 11 days ago; 0-6 on the AW here but three times a runner-up and much respected from stall 1.

Agostino

9st 0lb

J: David Egan

T: Robert Cowell

Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall.

Form & Verdict
Progressive and very consistent on AW since the autumn, collecting four wins (5f-6f) along the way; below form on soft turf in April, but subsequent 2lb drop helps and quicker turf ought to show him in a better light.

Yet to add to his three 2yo wins but lost out only by a neck at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and is back in action before a 2lb rise takes effect; shortlisted.

J: Lewis Edmunds

Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood.

Only fifth of eight at Bath (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but was short of room at a crucial stage then not given a hard time once his winning chance had gone; now 2lb below his last winning mark; dangerous to ignore.

Midfield at Ayr (6f, heavy) last Thursday and same story at York (5f, soft) on Friday; however, he twice went close on consecutive days at the end of September (5f/6f, soft/heavy) and is not ruled out under Billy Loughnane.

Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in June and runner-up on next two starts, over this C&D (soft) on the latter occasion; three lesser runs followed but he was bang there when third back on soft ground at Hamilton (5f) yesterday and has to be considered after that revival.

Class 5 success over C&D initiated a solid start to the season; the subsequent other half of his campaign is characterised by a dip in form; no certainty to take advantage of drop back down weights.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who has been absent since ending last season with below-par run on soft ground in October; made all off a 3lb higher mark a year ago, after a layoff, but younger rivals appeal more all the same.
