Prolific winner who is seeking a hat-trick here after back-to-back 5f wins; up 6lb for those decisive successes; has won over 6f and looks a big player.

Ran away with an apprentice handicap over C&D last week, coming from off the pace and storming clear in the closing stages; unpenalised for that and 6lb well in but no guarantee he'll be in the same form a second time.

Always prominent when landing a Bath handicap (5.5f, good) in May; placed at Salisbury then back at Bath last month; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.

Has been placed on soft but both wins on good, most recently at Bath (extended 5f) in May; mostly consistent otherwise but he was nowhere near his best at Brighton recently so that needs overlooking.

His best days are behind him but he was second twice this spring, on good to firm and soft going; not beaten far off this mark at Windsor last time; goes without the hood today.

Smart in his prime and he retained sufficient ability to win a Salisbury handicap last summer off 13lb higher; not really fired this year though and opposable despite a reduced mark.

Front-runner; off the mark for this yard at Bath last month (5f, good to firm; first time in cheekpieces); two good placed efforts since, more recently headed in the dying strides over C&D last week (good to soft); strong claims once again.

Stablemate of Connie's Rose; front-runner who made all to record a narrow C&D success last week; that was only a Class 6 and he's got his work cut out to defy a penalty against stronger opponents.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Grace Harris

Front-runner; in good form when this headgear combination was first fitted in early summer, holding on at Bath (5f, good to firm) and later losing out near the line over C&D (good to soft) in July; not as good since but can't rule out revival.

Form & Verdict
Second in a Brighton maiden on last month's return to action represented a clear personal best; failed to build on it at Windsor on his handicap debut 17 days ago; still early days but could probably do with the ground drying out; now tried in a hood.
