Form & Verdict
Six AW wins at 6f; 0-14 on turf and he hasn't been in the best of form of late, even allowing for the 7f trip, but he did some good late work over C&D (good to soft) in April and is now 8lb lower; interesting on that.

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

Form & Verdict
Chops and changes between distances and his one 6f turf run this year wasn't his best effort (possibly unsuited by soft ground); an earlier run at the trip on the AW was better so not entirely ruled out.

Had to take a 10lb rise on the chin following wide-margin win at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in May and comes here in good form as he couldn't get a run when it was needed at Brighton last month and was best in his group at Ripon (6f, good) since; looks set for a good run.

Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough.

6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix.

Form & Verdict
AW winner at about 7f in France as 2yo and also had form over an extended 6f; not yet found a way in Britain but he's dropped 20lb in five 7f runs and has been running as if worth a go over a bare 6f.

Form & Verdict
Had form in better races than this in France but it's been a slog in Britain and he's often slowly away; however, he did well to get as close as he did over C&D (good to firm) in June and he'll be suited by the return to 6f; interesting to see if adding a visor helps.
