Form & Verdict
All three wins have come at Carlisle, the latest an emphatic 5l success from the front (1m1f, good) 12 days go; 7lb rise leaves him with a welter burden to carry but he has run well on the AW before, including here, so he shouldn't be underestimated.

Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high.

Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best.

8yo who has been in fine form this spring, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last month then going close at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m, good); there's every chance he'll be bang there once more.

Course regular (albeit 0-12 here) who could be given a chance on some of his frame finishes from higher marks at this venue earlier in the year; losing run now up to 27, though, and others make more appeal.

Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid.

Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival.

Form & Verdict
Took him 11 attempts to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after wins over 1m on Polytrack at Lingfield and Kempton; a 4lb higher mark in a better race will demand more but he is in such good heart that he has to be respected.

Showed ability on the AW last winter including when beaten just over a length into third of four behind two dual subsequent winners over C&D in January; not shown much in two outings since returning from five months off in May (gelded before latest outing) and needs to turn things around if he is to get off the mark.
