Regressive 5yo who has been unplaced all six starts for new stable this year; seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when fourth at Chester (5f, good) last month, having set a brisk pace, but was well below that form (albeit from a wider draw) there three weeks ago.

Three more wins this year (including C&D on soft) and last Saturday's sixth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr was another creditable effort (second of 12 in his group); the fact he's finished in the first three (including four wins) on eight of his ten visits to Haydock makes him a must for the shortlist.

Respectable but unavailing effort in the Bronze Cup two years ago; in marvellous form this year, adding three wins at 5f (soft and good to soft), but he couldn't pull off another one at Haydock recently off a career-high mark; has more to do back at 6f.

Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show.

Placed in three of her five runs when trained in Ireland (6f-7f); never a threat on her stable debut at Musselburgh last month (7f) but the run wasn't devoid of promise and she should be sharper today; her rider has had three rides this autumn, namely a win, a second and a third; not discounted.

He was recording his second C&D success when getting up late in September off a 3lb lower mark; still looked in top form when fourth at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, totally fluffing the start and poorly positioned but keeping on well in the straight (recorded the fastest sectional for each of the last four furlongs); capable amateur booked and he's one to be interested in.
