Form & Verdict
Has mixed record this season but he's a versatile type who bounced back with a good third over C&D (good) last month; didn't get much luck after a slow start in that race and he's a big player if he can back that up; regular tongue-tie removed.

Ten-time winner whose last success was over C&D in May; hasn't made a serious impact since then but he did best of the hold-up performers here (fifth of 11) here last time and is now back on his last winning mark; dangerous.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Ended last year with two runner-up efforts in the mud including at this track (5,6f, soft); started this season with a good second at Southwell in March but he's not come close to that form since and was beaten 12l at Nottingham last time; down the list.

Three wins early this year and three runner-up efforts this autumn including at Catterick (5f, soft) on his penultimate run; on same mark as for that close call but he dropped out at Pontefract last time and needs to bounce back after that disappointing run.

Not easy to predict and was never involved here (5.6f, soft) last Monday but he finished well from off the pace when beating Storm Venture over C&D (heavy) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can get back near that level and this is a drop back in grade.
