Form & Verdict
Very useful in his prime but has regressed and become inconsistent; posted best recent effort when close fourth at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll be in a similar mood here.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up after looking very unenthusiastic on chasing debut in June but, with a visor added, came second on consecutive appearances at Worcester (2m7f, good) this summer; succumbed only to a progressive rival when nearly making all on latter occasion and is a major player here.

Close third in this 12 months ago and similar form again over C&D the following month; on a steady decline subsequently and latest third in a small field at Fontwell was unconvincing; cheekpieces replaced by a visor.

Form & Verdict
Best known as a Plumpton regular; capitalised upon some help from the handicapper when winning three-runner contest at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April but has often shown a tendency to race lazily and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task on first start for six months.

Three of his four chase wins have been on this track, two over C&D; scored off a 2lb higher mark at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April in a three-runner contest but two poor efforts this term and looks risky.
