Form & Verdict
Started this year with an all-the-way win on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f); been up and down since but he got back near best with a near-miss at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) last Friday; nudged up 2lb but he's a big player if he can back up that last run.

Placed here (1m2f, good) in June, after a break, and not discredited when second of four over C&D (good) last month; remains well handicapped on some of his winter AW form and can make his presence felt again.

Form & Verdict
Some creditable efforts this season, including when fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June, but she was disappointing over C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and five of her six wins have come at Beverley; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who has won 13 times and he went close at Haydock (1m, good) and here (1m, good to soft) on consecutive days last month; 3lb higher than last time but this step back up in trip is no problem and he's respected; all of his turf wins have been on good or slower but he's effective on fast ground.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (1m/1m4f) and his last success was in December; returned to form with good third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was tailed off at Hamilton next time and that took his turf record to 0-12; headgear now returns and he needs to bounce back again.
