Six-race maiden who started off for Peter Chapple-Hyam with two close seconds on Polytrack in April (6f/7f); not seen again since and needs to prove he's effective on turf but Tom Marquand is a good booking here.

Didn't get home over 7f at Southwell in March and appreciated the drop to 6f when winning there 20 days ago following a short break; both wins on turf have been on good to soft, and has claims off this 3lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Beaten under 2l on all four starts for current stable, most recently when third at Kempton (6f, AW) in July; 1lb lower here and has a fighting chance if handling the ground (withdrawn twice in recent weeks with both good and soft deemed unsuitable).

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

A maiden after five runs and may not be straightforward but, having rejoined Roger Teal, returned from ten-month break with good third at Chepstow (6f, good to soft; first) four weeks ago; 2lb lower here and will be a tough nut to crack if that recent outing has brought him on.

Form & Verdict
Very effective on slow ground and now only 3lb higher than when winning easily at Ripon (6f, soft) in July; moves back up in trip after two very respectable fourths this month (5f/5.5f); the forecast sunny weather is not ideal but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces refitted.

Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win.

Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect.

Form & Verdict
Won three 5f nurseries last season (good-heavy) but has become disappointing this year; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 7.3f at Ffos Las 11 days ago; 1lb out of the weights; needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal.

Form & Verdict
Came good with 7f AW win in June and was evidently suited by drop to 6f when dominating from the front in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (good to firm) the following month; encounters slower ground on this first start for 12 weeks and the cheekpieces are left off today but he could still have untapped potential as a sprinter.
