Form & Verdict
Six-time winner, with five on turf and one on AW; held in fifth of seven at Hamilton last time but he ran well in a Class 4 at York in July and that was after a comfortable success at Carlisle (6f); has claims if he can recapture that form and he's versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who scored off 3lb lower at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in July but he's not matched that since and was beaten 11l at Southwell last time; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around back up in trip.

Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player.

2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist.
