Form & Verdict
In fine form under Tommie Jakes over 1m4f/1m6f at Wolverhampton lately (2111); has to prove herself around here, but is going up the weights slowly as she only seems to do just enough; still has relatively few miles on the clock; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Four wins at Wolverhampton including three last year (1m6f); may have need the run after 253 days off when behind Alfheim and Hill Station there this month, but he will need to step up a fair bit to reverse the form with that pair.

Five-time winner and the last four have been at this track (1m4f/1m6f); well held in two runs back from an absence last month but he had some traffic issues at Southwell last time; now back on last winning mark and he needs checking in market on this drop back in grade.

Runner-up in three bumpers early last year and in a novice here (1m3f) last month, but disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on handicap debut over the same trip ten days ago; needs to bounce back quickly.

Form & Verdict
Course winner (1m3f) who was 2lb below his last winning mark when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) recently, finishing just under 2l behind Alfheim; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs there so he could make his presence felt granted a kinder passage.
