Form & Verdict
4yo who is on a reduced mark but both his wins came over 6f as a juvenile and he's finished down the field in last three runs including a fading sixth at Lingfield (1m2f) last time; with another new yard now and has something to prove on his step up to this trip.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his second win when scoring off 3lb lower at Kempton (1m4f) in November; backed that up with a close call at Southwell and he ran another good race when a front-running third back at Kempton (1m3f) 16 days ago; finished just ahead of Oriental Art last time and he's respected.

Tailed off on hurdling debut but different story over C&D this month (in tongue-strap for first time) when beating several of these; 50-1 but no fluke about the win and followed up in Wolverhampton AW contest last Saturday; penalty for the course success but still strongly considered.

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here.

Form & Verdict
15-race maiden but he has been generally consistent and didn't get much luck when fourth of 11 at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) on his recent return from a break; should benefit from that run and he looks interesting for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Went close off this mark over C&D in October but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field at Newcastle and here (behind Lexington Knight) in last two starts; comes with risks attached and he wouldn't want this to be tactical.

All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider.

2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip.

Form & Verdict
Resurgent 5yo who was won twice over C&D in his last five starts and he went close behind an all-the-way winner here when last seen in November; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's still lightly raced on AW; big player.

Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark.

Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of good efforts at up to 1m6f towards the end of last year but his form nosedived at Southwell 15 days ago; the switch to positive tactics may have backfired but this ex-French performer is now 0-25 in Britain and others are preferred.
