Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark.

Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings.

Similar type to Otago, being a triple C&D scorer who is on a handy mark; has gone off the boil in last three races, however, and doesn't look poised to add to her tally.

Fifth in this last year (Blue Collar Lad second); her six wins have been split evenly between here and Yarmouth (7f-1m) and she seems to handle most underfoot conditions; her staying-on fourth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago offers some hope.

Three-time course winner (7f/1m) who disappointed in this race last year when chasing a Brighton hat-trick; bounced back when runner-up at Epsom next time but he 's not been in the same form since, including when fifth at Leicester on Monday; body of work at this venue says he can never be dismissed, however, and first-time blinkers might reignite the fire.

Form & Verdict
The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.
