Form & Verdict
Won three from the front last year and shot up the weights but well held in his two runs this term (now tried in first-time headgear); could do without rain (has been taken out on account of soft ground before) and stall 9 isn't ideal given his style.

Back to his best this year, winning three times from the front, latterly from the same stall over C&D in July; did it easily that day but finds himself 9lb higher as a result, which will test him back from a couple of months off.

Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch.

J: Joey Haynes

Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today.

Form & Verdict
Dual Hamilton winner last August (soft/heavy) who's resumed better than ever under Mohammed Tabti, doing it easily at Carlisle last time; a 7lb rise demands more but he looks on the upgrade and the more rain the better for him.

A four-time 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; yet to add to that for his current handler but much better signs after five months off with fourth of 11 in 5f Haydock handicap (heavy) 15 days ago; goes well on soft ground and a likely player.

J: Darragh Keenan

He has no problem with soft ground but hasn't scored since last May and there were diminishing returns in four starts for this yard earlier in the year; career-low mark, however, and maybe a 147-day break will have chalked his cue; watch the market.

Form & Verdict
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his two wins for Roger Varian and he's rather struggled for this yard, coming 11lb down the weights; ran well from stall 12 over C&D last summer but needs to get back to that sort of level.
