3-3 in turf handicaps over 11.4f-2m on ground ranging from good to firm to heavy (2-2 in the visor); 7lb higher than when successful at Salisbury (1m6f, good) last time, but is improving fast and there is probably still be more to come; should be hard to beat. |

9st 2lb |
Didn't seem to appreciate Tapeta two starts ago but a wide-margin winner on turf either side, at about 1m3f at Windsor (good to firm) and on heavy ground at Nottingham (2m; first-time visor, retained today); 4lb well in under penalty; solid claims if headgear works again. |

9st 4lb |
0-14 but he finished second twice in 2m handicaps on slow turf in September; beaten at long odds-on in one Polytrack run; others preferred for win purposes. |

Rather disappointing over 2m1f at Pontefract last time having finished runner-up both there and at Ffos Las on his two previous starts; has some decent form on Tapeta and one with a chance. |

9st 2lb |
14 months off before this season and below form; however, she rallied when third of five to Manxman at Carlisle eight days ago and makes appeal on what she showed last May/June on good or firmer, including in a run at this track. |

Reliable stayer at his level and 2m on testing ground will hold no terrors; solid effort over C&D four weeks ago; should be in the thick of it. |

Placed on varied ground on first three starts this season, including over 2m5f here, and back to form at Ffos Las three weeks ago when produced late on to get off the mark (2m; from Dragonball Prince) at the 15th attempt; back up 3lb but seriously considered. |

C&D winner; strong stayer who was winning the same Newmarket handicap (2m) for the second season in succession when narrowly scoring six weeks ago; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run with a top amateur booked. |
