Form & Verdict
Maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps off a sliding mark, including twice behind Anif here in early summer; will again be popular off the back of last week's soft-ground second here, with the step back up from 6f in her favour.

Form & Verdict
Has often pulled hard and hung right, and has never tackled this sort of ground; on the positive side he's lightly raced and has Oisin Murphy up (1-4 for the yard), having run fairly well back from a break over C&D last month.

Form & Verdict
Most wins have come after a recent outing, and a three-month layoff may not be optimal at his age; lacks consistency now and remains 5lb higher than for June's soft-ground C&D win.

Dual C&D winner this time two years ago who's suffered plenty of short-priced reversals since; is now 9lb lower than when third in this race on similar ground last autumn, though, and needs considering.

Both wins on turf have been at Yarmouth over 7f and he's also won twice on the AW; went close at Southwell (1m, AW) in January but he did too much too soon there 20 days ago; claims if settling better.

Twice won back to back and has been knocking on the door of late, loudest when going down by a neck over C&D in January; player if he's not too fresh back from a short break and can be settled.

Won over C&D on soft ground last September but arrived in better form then; it's been a struggle all season but she did offer a bit more from a wide stall on the AW last time and a case could be made.

String of poor efforts in the summer and failed to justify support back at Southwell, the scene of his novice win, last time; finished well held in two previous starts in cheekpieces and well held in one previous run on heavy ground.
