Multiple C&D winner, the latest last August when rated 5lb higher; obvious chance if anywhere near that level but he has been struggling more recently; the return to 1m2f will help but not a solid option.

Has done nearly all his winning at about 1m2f, most recently last August; inconsistent since but drops back in grade off a workable mark; stayed on for creditable effort in sole attempt over 1m4f.

J: Jack Mitchell

Eight-time AW winner and first and second in two of his four races here; didn't run at all badly last time at Lingfield (1m2f) but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature.

Form & Verdict
Has a record of 12124 over this C&D, most recently fourth in Class 5 event four weeks ago; steps up in grade but carries a low weight (Rose Dawes takes off 7lb) and could go well again.

Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount.

Form dipped at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and the track wasn't an excuse; however, he's 3-7 at Chelmsford and 5lb lower than when last seen here 16 months ago (ran creditably); interesting.

Form & Verdict
Progressing steadily; made a solid handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) most recently, finishing second to a rival who was on the third leg of a four-timer (Flat/hurdles); that effort suggested she'll benefit from headgear (visor added this time); could well go one better off same mark.

Thrice-raced filly who is steadily getting the hang of things, most recently 3l fifth upped to 1m2f at Chelmsford (back from a layoff); open to further progress now handicapping; interesting.

200,000gns yearling who suffered heavy defeat on debut in April and didn't achieve that much when beaten 8l into third over the extended 1m at Beverley (went off at 40-1) the following month; unexposed but she'll need improvement to get involved back from eight months off; tongue-tied first time.

Consistent at about 1m this autumn/winter, while giving the impression she'll be suited by the combination of this return to 1m2f and first-time headgear; possibilities in what may prove an ideal scenario.
