Below par twice since finishing third at Windsor (5f) in September, but his mark is falling, Joe Leavy is a positive booking and blinkers go on for the first time; both his wins have come on AW; might be the answer.

Not a serial winner but he's been in good form of late and last week's Doncaster fourth was better than the bare result might indicate; returning to 5f won't hurt and he's high on the list.

Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been in good form since February and has gone close at Nottingham (6f) and Wetherby (5.5f) in his last two runs; handles most ground and he should be in the thick of things again.

Useful in the past but usually finds a way of losing these days; still more than capable off this mark but a slow start is quite likely and he often pulls hard, so there will always be risks.

Having second run in less than 24 hours when winning apprentice event at Brighton (5f, good to soft) on Tuesday by 8l; escapes a penalty and may well follow up, although he has yet to show he's as good on AW as turf.
