Last three wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack), but has also won four times on Tapeta including here; latest effort back at Kempton can be excused and he is respected from just 1lb above his last winning mark.

Seven-time AW winner and the latest three have been over C&D; has mixed record for new trainer this season but he was runner-up at Southwell last time and remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for his win here in May; key player.

Seven-time AW winner who has four wins and a second to his name in five starts in 7f Tapeta handicaps; the drop back from 1m and switch from turf both look in his favour off his last winning mark.

Was gaining the eighth win of his career when running away from five rivals in a Class 6 handicap over C&D last Thursday; chance under a penalty but the other recent winners in the field may hold stronger claims.

J: George Wood

T: Jennie Candlish

Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered.

Won a small-field fillies' handicap at Brighton in July; similar form when second over C&D three weeks ago; takes on in-form males this time and could come up short.

Three wins, including C&D, in the first half of the year; the handicapper has had his measure since he beat 25 rivals at Ascot in May and although he's now just 2lb higher, he's in against some in-form opponents.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up.
