Form & Verdict
Posted career-best performance when winning 20-runner handicap at York (6f, good) in May and probably ran to very similar level when close second of 19 over that C&D (good to firm) last month; didn't fire there on latest outing, though, and needs to prove he can match his peak form back at 5f.

4-25; won from 3lb higher at York (6f, good) last May, and also went close (runner-up) back there in July; pestered for the lead, weakening late, when fourth on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; 15-8 favourite; form franked); now 2lb lower and with Jack Nicholls back aboard; chance.

Won twice in May and also ran well at York in July (6f, good to firm; 12lb better off with Aberama Gold for a neck defeat); quiet since then, however, and others have more persuasive claims.

Form & Verdict
Not at best on any of five appearances for new stable since the spring but has slipped to a tempting mark and put in pretty good front-running shift before fading into fifth of 14 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; a possible.

Front-runner who has dropped down the weights and run well in defeat on his last two starts (5f, good to firm); his turf wins in Ireland came on soft/yielding going; could build on his recent form now back on easier ground.

Form & Verdict
Dual 5f winner last year (once here); has rather mixed record this season but posted good effort when third over C&D (good to firm) a week ago and gets another chance off the same workable mark today.

She's dropped back down to a dangerous mark but she struggled on her final three starts last season and did likewise on her reappearance over C&D a fortnight ago; a major turnaround is necessary.

Now only 1lb higher than when winning gamely from the front at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May but needs to better his recent efforts and may be better suited by stiffer tracks than this now.

Boasts a decent record around this time of year; below par on turf last time but he's bounced back from blips before and he's in off the same mark as when going close over C&D in March; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Gained all three wins on ground softer than good last year; ran well when third on consecutive outings in June/July but was a shade disappointing in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Chester three weeks ago and the quicker ground here is not in his favour.

Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form.

Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort.

Form & Verdict
Regressive 5yo who has been unplaced all six starts for new stable this year; seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when fourth at Chester (5f, good) last month, having set a brisk pace, but was well below that form (albeit from a wider draw) there three weeks ago.
