Best form on good to soft or slower but won twice on good ground in June and he's only 1lb higher than for the Ffos Las win (6f); beaten on AW twice since but the return to turf is a plus.

8yo who made it three wins from his last six starts when scoring at Sandown (5f, soft) 12 days ago; up to a career-high mark but for good reason and he's versatile ground-wise, and should be fine back up to 6f; key player.

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.

Seems to act on most ground; nine-time winner who is on a hat-trick after a brace of wins at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; it was in his nursery days that he last scored off a mark this high, but he can't be ignored in current mood.

Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.
