Form & Verdict
Followed a novice hurdle win at Worcester in June with an easy success back on the Flat, in a C&D classified event (also good to soft) nine days ago; strong claims back in a handicap despite the penalty, although the likely quicker ground is a bit of an unknown.

Productive on Flat and over hurdles since early last summer; creditable second, one place in front of L'Eagle Aid who admittedly came from a poorer position, over C&D most recently; major contender.

Went up 29lb for his four wins last season; wasn't at his best on first Flat run this year when last of five at Ripon (had been running well over hurdles); bit to prove.

J: William Pyle

Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on AW (9.5f and 1m4f) but he has been in the first three on turf on three occasions; needs to bounce back following a poor run on heavy ground at Chepstow (1m4f) 32 days ago; returns to a sound surface and returns to 1m2f with cheekpieces removed.

A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable.

Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere.

Form & Verdict
Running consistently well prior to ending a near two-year losing run at Bath (1m2f, firm) two weeks ago; a 5lb rise looks fair and he's respected, though has yet to win away from Bath.

Reliable sort with five wins in the bag; a beaten favourite on his last two starts, his turn may be near once more but he is 2lb higher than his last winning mark.

Easily best known for exploits at Bath, where he's been runner-up three times this season; 0-10 here, admittedly twice runner-up and also third of 15 in May (1m2f) but he may have to settle for another place return.

Four course wins over 1m2f on fast ground; three solid efforts in defeat this year, again over 1m2f, and he has handled slow ground in the past; unlikely to be far away back at 1m.
