T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark.

J: Luke Morris

Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away.

Doubled his tally when winning over C&D in May off a 1lb lower mark than today's but he was below his best behind Gorgeous Mr George here (1m) four weeks ago; drops back in trip with a bounce back needed.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Jonathan Portman

Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here.

Steadily progressive since handicapping and it was a personal best when landing 9.5f AW handicap in April; back on turf with solid third of ten off this career-high mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later and he may still be capable of better.

11-race maiden but he's normally reliable and has been placed on six occasions, including in two 7f Class 5 handicaps in May; bombed out on AW later that month and subsequently absent, while this is a notch above his usual hunting ground.

J: Donagh Murphy

Consistent 4yo who won over C&D (good) last summer and came from off the pace to double his tally at Brighton (1m, good) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but ought to be on the premises.

Still 5lb higher than for his sole success, at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August, but has made the frame in all eight outings since; that reliability counts for plenty in this field.

Three-time AW winner who is 0-12 on turf but was very competitive in his last two races here, beaten a short head (7f) and then faring best of those who chased a strong pace two weeks ago (C&D); firmly in the mix.

All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); good second over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) last month and he had a near-miss over C&D (good) on Friday night; hard to rule out another big run but this is a quick turnaround and he's 6lb out of the weights.
