Form & Verdict
Won twice at Brighton (6f) earlier in the year, and is also effective on Tapeta; has struggled for form in recent months, though, including when finishing last of 11 over C&D (18-1) last week; competes from a career-low mark; one of four for Scott Dixon.

Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 16 starts came when making all in a Beverley seller (5f, good to firm; for Karl Burke) in May; mixed fortunes since switching to Scott Dixon, but now 2lb lower than when beaten by half-a-length at Chepstow (6f) in August; AW prowess inconclusive.

Form & Verdict
Displayed a likeable attitude when winning a 'Confined' Class 6 at Lingfield (6f AW; 7-2) before narrowly failing to justify favouritism back there next time; no obvious reason why she should be troubled by making the switch to Wolverhampton; key player.

Both wins over 6f on the AW last September; had dropped 1lb below her last winning mark when a close fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheepieces) 11 days ago, but her stamina for this far remains unproven.

Form & Verdict
Won well at Catterick (7f Classified) three starts back, but has yet to prove herself definitively from a mark close to the mid 50s; took a good hold when a weakening fifth of ten over 7f here last week; drop to 6f (first attempt) an avenue worth exploring.

Won four times last year; this 7yo hasn't been in the same form this season but her recent 3l fourth to Classy Clarets at Musselburgh (7f, good) was a step back in the right direction and she's a three-time winner at Catterick; remains 8lb below her last winning mark and is capable of going well.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner with six AW wins, mostly at Chelmsford (6f), on his CV; returning from a break, and further wind surgery, when never better than midfield at Chelmsford (6f) recently; could strip fitter in a retained tongue-tie, competing from a career-low mark.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.

Form & Verdict
Form levels have dipped since winning gamely on turf at Lingfield (6f, good) in early August; was poorly drawn - has a similar berth here - when struggling to make any impression from the rear over C&D (40-1) last week; Scott Dixon has better options elsewhere.

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again.
