Form & Verdict
Consistent mare who boasts a decent record here; confidence will have been boosted by ending an almost two-year losing run last time and a 3lb rise looks fair enough, so she needs considering.

All of her wins have come at 6f/7f but she finished well when third at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last time; now goes back up in grade but she's on a dangerous mark and looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Pulled hard two months ago on his first run since being gelded, when beaten some way at a short price; hard to knock his previous AW efforts (fine on both surfaces) but he's drawn wide and an easy 7f is a bare minimum now.

Win and a near-miss to his name in two handicap starts over C&D and has gone on again since fitted with a hood and blinkers (can pull hard); no obvious reason he won't go well again but needs to find more off this mark.

His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf.

Dual C&D winner who's won first time out twice in the past (layoff looks a bonus in his case); got trapped wide and pulled hard here last time and should do better down another 3lb under a 5lb claimer after 93 days off.

Form & Verdict
Has lost his way in recent times and will be 2lb lower from the weekend; had no problem with 1m1f in the summer, off the back of a soft-ground win over 8.2f, and he doesn't make obvious appeal over such an easy 7f.

Held a few times since her Lingfield win off 2lb lower; that victory came after three months off, so the break may work in her favour, but she's drawn wide and holds similar claims to stablemate Big Narstie, namely each-way.
