Three course wins, the most recent from a 1lb higher mark (6f, good; 5-1) in April; runner-up at Beverley (5f) in June and thereabouts on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2l fourth) three weeks ago; likely to give her best; chance.

Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards.

The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations.

Unlucky not to have picked up a handicap this season but he's now winless in three years; the switch to cheekpieces brought about a better effort last time and he's 2lb lower, but he's unproven on the AW and no certainty to repeat the dose.
