Form & Verdict
Veteran who is now 6lb lower than for this 7f win here last spring; put a run of disappointing efforts behind him when third over C&D last week, making his ground against the far rail; dangerous if that was the start of a revival.

Veteran who has been a bit in and out this year, but is 2lb lower than when successful over 6f here in May; return to this trip no problem having won twice over C&D, but he needs to better his two efforts since returning to the AW in September.

Front-runner; returned from seven months off with a good second at Epsom last week (5f, soft); stays an easy 6f and he can't be discounted off the same mark.

Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome.

Often makes the running, but was held up from his wide draw when disappointing over C&D 15 days ago; back off the same mark as when dead-heating here in April and drawn well if reverting to positive tactics; stable also runs Gogo Yubari.

Form & Verdict
All three of his wins have come over C&D; the handicapper has been in charge this winter but he's slowly releasing his grip and the return to these conditions could spark something extra.

Back to winning ways with a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last month; not handicapped out of things off this 4lb higher mark and his talented apprentice takes off a valuable 3lb too; first run at Lingfield but no obvious reason why he wouldn't be effective here.

Form & Verdict
Two 7f wins on AW last year when trained by David Loughnane; ended his 3yo campaign under a cloud but a change of stable and headgear could freshen him up; has to prove himself over a sharp 6f but likely to get a good pace to aim at in this field.

Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid.
