Form & Verdict
Maiden who has a mixed record in her six starts but she got back near her best when a staying-on third at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; tongue-tie added) 22 days ago; that was promising on her step up to this trip and is a big player if she can build on that.

Runner-up on her second start at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last July, but didn't build on that in three subsequent outings; the extra furlong should be just about within range on breeding, but she does need to turn things around; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Improved his record to 2-12 when justifying support at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 12 days ago; up 5lb but he found plenty to beat a short-priced favourite last time and this step back up in trip is no problem; key player.

Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break.

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back.

Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't progressed since winning a 5f maiden at Chester last May and he's failed to beat a rival at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in last two starts; dropped another 3lb but he's now 1-9 and has plenty to prove at this new trip; visor removed.

Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he's run well in 7f handicaps in his last three starts including a close call off only 1lb lower at Southwell (Tapeta; cheekpieces added) on penultimate run; seems tactically versatile and he's respected on this drop back in grade.

Quite consistent but made it 0-14 when beaten just under 5l at Lingfield (7f) and there's a hint of impatience now swapping the cheekpieces for a visor.

Form & Verdict
Won at Chelmsford (1m) in November and he went very close at this track (8.6f) two days later but his progress has stalled since; this drop back to 7f should be fine but he flashed his tail when a well-held fourth here (9.4f) last time and others are more persuasive.

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when making all on his drop back to 7f at Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; been gelded since and is 4lb higher on his return but that was a personal best last time and he's still unexposed at this trip; dangerous.
