Form & Verdict
Placed only once from seven outings this year and he ran poorly at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; falling in the weights but he needs the new headgear (hood replaces cheekpieces) and a change of scenery (previously with Robert Cowell) to have an immediate effect.

Down to a career-low mark, some 6lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, good) last summer, but he has been treading water for some time now, never dangerous on his last four starts; needs to turn over a new leaf.

Hasn't had much racing for a 6yo and better than ever this season, winning 11-runner race at Ayr (6f, good) ten days ago from a rival who has since gone one better; best ridden up with the pace, and likely to make another bold bid under a 5lb penalty.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who put up his best effort when beaten neck in novice over C&D (good) on his third start, collared only late on; disappointing when only sixth of nine on handicap debut at Doncaster (favourite) next time but he's had six weeks off since and may well bounce back; shortlisted.

Off the mark on this course (5f, good) on final 2yo start but she has not repeated the form in two outings this season, soon off bridle and tending to hang on latest; will probably stay 6f but needs to rediscover her spark.

Unexposed 4yo who won an AW novice over this trip last autumn; has shaped well on both his runs this year, short of room on two separate occasions when third of ten over C&D (good) on latest; may not have reached his ceiling just yet, and he's a leading contender off the same mark.

0-6 but has gone close on two occasions, including when short-headed at Lingfield (6f, AW; hung both ways) three weeks ago; can look a tricky ride but he handles turf and has more than enough ability to win a race of this nature; capable of another big run.

Form & Verdict
Last three wins have been on Tapeta (two over 6f, one over 7f) but his best turf efforts are of a similar standard; comes into the reckoning on his second at Leicester in June off 1lb higher and he ran just as well when runner-up at Newcastle yesterday; wears visor (replacing cheekpieces) here.
