Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 14th attempt when landing a 7f handicap here 18 days ago but he failed to back that up when favourite at Southwell last Tuesday; has gone very close at 1m in the past but he's not easy to predict and has something to prove again after that last run; visor reapplied.

Three wins early in the year, including over C&D off a 7lb higher mark in February; not beaten many home in his last seven starts (often slowly away) but the return of the visor may help and he's got the ability to go well.

Triple course winner (7f/8.6f), who got back near his best with a front-running second from wide draw at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago; on same mark on this drop back in trip and another bold bid could be on the cards.

Form & Verdict
4yo filly who has shown promise in AW novice events, including when third of six behind a useful odds-on rival at Lingfield (1m2f; took strong hold) last month; still unexposed after only four starts and she's an interesting contender back in trip on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have come on Polytrack at Chelmsford (7f/1m) but he ran near his best when a close third of six over C&D last Wednesday; that was behind two rivals who raced prominently in a tactical event and he's a big player if he gets a better tow into this race.

Often runs well fresh, so the break looks in his favour, and two of his wins have come at big prices; capable of popping up off a career-low mark but he'll need to bounce back after a poor summer.
