J: David Probert

T: Ivan Furtado

Four-time winner over 7f; posted two pretty good efforts over 1m at Thirsk this spring and his recent 7f defeat is probably best overlooked (restless in stalls, awkward leaving stalls and then raced too freely); can bounce back and make his presence felt here.

J: William Carson

Three-time course winner who gained his first success over 7f when dead-heating over C&D 35 days ago (made all); likely to give his running having been raised 2lb but could prove vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Improved an ordinary strike-rate when getting up in a busy finish over 6f here in March; finished down the field at Wolverhampton last time but he was only beaten around 2l and this step back up in trip is no problem; shouldn't be far away.

Suited by the strong gallop when scoring at Thirsk (7f, good to firm; 11-1) in April, but has struggled to make much of an impact since at Wolverhampton or Leicester; needs to bounce back to form to figure from 2lb above that winning mark.
