Form & Verdict
Dropped a long way in the weights last year and he's the type to take advantage this season; should be sharper with his reappearance behind him but he's eligible for weaker races than this; of interest if backed.

C&D winner who hasn't shown much lately, but is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in February and is better drawn than he was back here last time; worth a second look, especially if backed.

Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight.

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted.

Poor strike-rate but he made most to land a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; other pace to contend with today and he'll need to step up on his latest Chelmsford sixth.

Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal.

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.
