Nine-time AW winner who has been knocking on the door here in his last two runs and is only 1lb higher than for his near miss over C&D last Monday; should make another bold bid and he's a strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he recorded his eighth career win when scoring at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in October; 5lb higher on his return but he still looks feasibly treated and has claims if he can pick up where he left off.

Form & Verdict
Record of 1-25 and his sole win came over hurdles; ran well to finish third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month but he has a patchy profile and was beaten 8l at Chelmsford last time; others are more convincing.

Now only 1lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Milton Harris a year ago but both recent runs for Sylvester Kirk were disappointing and he needs to have been perked up by latest stable switch; cheekpieces refitted.

In good form last month, finishing second at Leicester (demoted to fourth due to interference) and close fifth at Ayr; might not be far away but he's 0-20 since winning on debut in 2021; has to prove he can get the job done.

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
His sole win came over 2m here in 2021 and he's struggled at massive prices in two hurdle runs for his current yard; had form at this sort of trip in Jersey last summer but he has a tough draw back on the Flat and is 4lb out of the weights; probably best watched.

Form & Verdict
Didn't really fire in her final two runs last year but she won back-to-back races at Newcastle (1m) and here (8.6f) in the autumn; looks interesting on that form and her last win was under Paddy Barlow; dangerous back from a short break.

Both wins came at around 1m on Tapeta last autumn but she's finished down the field in her last five runs; soft ground may have caused her downfall at Beverley last time but she needs to rediscover her spark back in this sphere.

Dual Tapeta winner last autumn, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, who ran fairly well back on turf after a break six weeks ago; there's nothing to suggest she wants soft ground though.

Clearcut winner at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) for Charlie Johnston last summer, but he's not finished closer than fourth in ten runs for his current yard since; has plenty to prove and he needs a major upturn in form.
