Form & Verdict
Made all off 2lb lower under John Reddington at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) in June but he has a mixed record this season and was tailed off at Ffos Las last month; the slow ground may have caused his downfall last time but he needs to bounce back again after that and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner but he's 0-15 on grass; looks interesting on his best turf form last season but he returned from a break with a remote fourth here (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; this step back up in trip is no problem but his losing run is up to 15 and he needs to leave that latest form well behind.

Over two years since the last of his four wins, all of which have come at Wolverhampton; he is effective here too though and has run some good races in defeat since joining Mick Appleby; should run his race and he is not discounted with a cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted.

Form & Verdict
0-7 over hurdles and was well held at Stratford two weeks ago but he ran a promising race over 1m4f at Leicester (finished one place behind Carrigillihy) on his reappearance in July; could be dangerous on this switch back to the Flat and he's unexposed over this sort of trip.

Won four-runner maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, good to firm) last November and soft ground may not have suited in Sandown handicap next time; however, he's failed to shine on the Flat this year which dents confidence in his claims on this chase debut.

Won over 1m2f here (soft) last May but that is his sole win from 34 starts; has run some good races at up to 1m6f this season, including a near miss at Doncaster in June, but he never showed his face at Redcar last month and others are more persuasive.

5-28 on AW compared to 1-17 on turf; may have needed his only start this summer (50-1, turf) and he's well handicapped given some of last year's AW and turf form, so he needs a second look in the returning cheekpieces which did the trick for him off this mark over C&D last December.

Comes alive at Pontefract and was gaining his fifth course win from seven goes when gamely scoring over 1m4f in June; not disgraced at Haydock last time; stays 2m and will probably see out this slightly longer distance; seems equally effective on good to firm and good to soft; solid contender.

Took Pontefract record to 5-7 (4-6 over 1m4f) ten days ago, as with the other wins gained on quicker ground than awaits here; penalty which obliges him to race off his highest ever mark is more of a concern.
