Form & Verdict
Yet to win this year but he's dropped 13lb down the weights as a result; the odd promising effort along the way but last time wasn't one of them (reported to have an irregular heartbeat after the race); handles soft and probably heavy; not out of it.

Resurgent 8yo who has won four of his last seven starts, including at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he beat a subsequent winner and this return to slower ground is no problem; big player again in his bid for a third course win.

Usually claimer ridden, to set the pace or race prominently; 8yo who has never raced here but he's been competitive in nearly every race this season, winning three, and went down by just a head and a neck at Newmarket on latest outing; drawn a bit wide but needs major respect.

None too consistent but both his wins have come over C&D and he does seem well suited by the track; on a good mark back from four months off and a big run would be no surprise, for all his propensity to miss the break is a nagging concern.

Useful 2yo with one of his wins coming over C&D; struggled for much of this campaign but he had plummeted down the weights and he's taken full advantage in recent weeks, completing a hat-trick this month on testing ground; another 7lb higher today but high on the list.
