Dual Flat winner for Harry Eustace (1m2f, good) who also scored twice over hurdles for Jedd O'Keeffe; became very inconsistent for latter yard, however, and he was picked up for £20,000 one month ago; refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces for this stable debut.

Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since.

Won on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in June and ran pretty well when 3l third of six at Bath (11.6f, heavy) three weeks ago; has raced only five times and further improvement is possible, but necessary today.

Improved on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in June, leading over 1f out and drawing clear to justify favouritism; up 9lb but probably remains capable of better.

Soundly beaten on both Flat starts this year (1m4f/2m), and just a respectable fifth over hurdles 12 days ago; now 2lb lower than when second here (2m2f, good) last summer but needs to up his game.

Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; well-held third in Chester 0-80 since but this is more his level.

Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) eight days ago; 6lb higher in much more competitive race here but won't mind if the ground is much slower.

Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D; disappointing favourite when well-held third of six at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but won over 1m3f there a week earlier and has claims if judged on that form.

8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty.

Veteran who last May gained a ninth C&D win; his more recent form is not so encouraging, though, just fifth of eight over C&D 16 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Veteran who has gained 11 of his 12 wins here (nine over this trip); safely held at other tracks on last two outings but now 2lb lower than when close third here (1m1f, good to firm) in early May; pretty versatile regarding ground; can't be ruled out.
