Returned from break with close fourth over C&D last month but her run here a fortnight ago was a shade disappointing and she's no longer the force of old; others have more appealing profiles.

Running well on the AW before collecting with a bit in hand at Bath two weeks ago (extended 5f; firm); likely to run well again off just 3lb higher and she has form with give underfoot.

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor.

Low-mileage 4yo; lost all chance when blowing the start on last month's handicap debut and was again slowly away before keeping on well for second at Kempton (6f) three weeks later; comes with obvious risk attached but will be a danger to all if he breaks on terms today.

Not one to rely upon heavily but gained narrow C&D win off today's basement mark in January and his recent 5f defeat is not viewed harshly; back up to optimum trip today; can't be ruled out.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall.
