Form & Verdict
Two sprint wins last summer, including over 6f here (soft); solid efforts in four of his five runs this season and was only beaten around 2l when he raced alone on far side at Windsor (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; now goes back up in trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer.

Form & Verdict
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 23121 since the end of March; up another 5lb but he put in a dominant display over C&D (good to soft) last time and remains well handicapped on old form; big player again in his bid for a 12th career win.

Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday.

J: Tyrese Cameron

In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear.

Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break.

Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 18th attempt when making all in first-time blinkers here (6f, good to firm) in April; respectable efforts in two runs since but he needs to find something extra on this drop back in trip; best form has been on good or good to firm.

0-18 on AW and can get it wrong at the start; on the plus side, he is dropping into a 0-60 today and you don't have to go back too far to find form that gives him a strong chance.

Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here.

Form & Verdict
Made his breakthrough (14th attempt) when swooping late to cause a surprise over 6f here (good; 25-1) ten days ago; this looks tougher back in trip but he's only gone up 2lb and his confidence should be boosted after that success; possibilities.

Last season's campaign fizzled out but he made a fairly encouraging return in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month, keeping on steadily from the rear to finish in midfield; now 6lb lower than for last spring's win at Brighton (6f, good); a possible.
