Prolific winner over the years, including over C&D; no impact yet this season but he wasn't disgraced from a wide draw at Chester last time and he's tumbling in the weights; solid each-way claims.

Close third off 6lb higher (from stall 5) in this contest two years ago and 2-4 at Chester overall; however, has a big doubt over current form, reflected in two duck eggs this season; wide draw adds uncertainty.

Ten-time winner whose mark is now 3lb lower than for his latest success; probably needed the run when well held at Southwell two weeks ago, but didn't show much and may require another before hitting his stride.

Form & Verdict
Second on three of her last five runs, including at Musselburgh (7f, good) on Monday; surplus stamina may be no bad thing if the ground is very testing, but on recent evidence the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus.

Failed to fire at York last Friday but runner-up twice in a row prior to that (5f, heavy); has contested the last four runnings of this race, with form figures of 1265, and he was first of seven in the far-side group 12 months ago; can be in the shake-up if bouncing back from last time.

Form & Verdict
Beaten about 4l when fourth of nine at Haydock (5f, soft) three weeks ago and needs something extra here, but he's had a very good season, with two wins in August (5f, heavy/good to soft) and a close third of 19 at York (5f, good to soft) two starts ago; could be in the mix.

Hugely admirable 12yo whose seven York wins include this race in 2019 and 2021, and he built upon last month's reappearance second at Ripon (5f, good) to win at Beverley (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; however, there's a suspicion he may find a big-field Class 2 such as this too hot nowadays.

Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause.

Some really good form in the last few months, including two wins (6f/5f, good to firm/good); won on soft going in Ireland in 2021 but he's been well beaten on such ground on two of his last three starts so has something to prove in today's conditions.
