Hit a purple patch when completing a quick hat-trick at Nottingham (6f) in June; posted a respectable fifth of ten at Newmarket (6f) last time and very much one to consider given he has run well on all three previous visits here.

Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Enhanced a good Windsor record when seeing off next-time-out winner Amazonian Dream and ten others over C&D last month; went agonisingly close in a big field at Glorious Goodwood (again 6f on good to firm) 19 days ago and although back up 2lb today, it's not forgotten that she went close in this race last year off 6lb higher still; big shout if she can find the gaps in coming from off the pace.

Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping.
