Form & Verdict
Handy sort who has run some good races lately, including when beaten just over a length into fourth of ten at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 12 days ago; 1lb below last winning mark, but losing run up to 13 and he needs a bit more from somewhere; cheekpieces return.

Form & Verdict
Put in a rare modest effort here last Saturday, but may have paid for getting involved in a disputed battle for the lead; has been mainly consistent since returning to the AW in October otherwise, including a win over C&D in January (form worked out well); respected if bouncing back.

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.

Back to form when a close third of ten at Wolverhampton 19 days ago (6f; visored); still has plenty of handicapping scope and the booking of Tom Marquand is a positive; back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; contender.

Form & Verdict
Scored twice for Michael Bell at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) early last year; makes his debut for his new yard after 163 days off having been picked up for 11,000gns in October; another for whom the drop in trip may not be ideal.

Had dropped a long way in the weights when ending a 12-race losing run at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in January; has been performing well at Kempton of late, finishing third of nine over 1m before his wide-margin win over 7f there on Wednesday; should go well under penalty.

Form & Verdict
Four wins for Richard Fahey and bids for a hat-trick on stable debut having changed hands for 13,000gns last month; however, those recent wins were over 1m2f so the drop in trip is a greater concern than the 4lb higher mark; visor worn last four starts now missing.

All six wins on the AW over 1m (including here), the latest a Kempton apprentice event eight days ago having dropped 3lb below his previous winning mark; 4lb well in and respected under Simon Walker but he wasn't at his best at Newcastle on Wednesday (1m) and 7f may be short of his best.

Form & Verdict
Has taken off lately and bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack), the latest a week ago when enterprisingly ridden; 2lb wrong under his penalty, but remains unexposed for a 5yo and respected in his current mood.
