Three wins from last seven outings and made an impressive starts for this yard when keeping on strongly to finish three lengths clear last time. Step up in trip unlikely to be an issue and looks a danger to all under a 6lb penalty.
Didn't need to improve to win a claimer two starts back and duly struggled back in a handicap next time. Vulnerable for win purposes off this mark and in current form.
Rare Flat runner for this Grand National winning trainer and looks particularly well-handicapped if translating his hurdles for to the Flat. Record stands at 2 from 6 on the AW, including a win here but there's a question mark about whether he'll be ready for this after a break.
Finished unplaced on last eight runs and particularly disappointing when 2/1 favourite last time, failing to quicken off a slow pace. Could be forgiven for that but this looks like a hotter race.
Having first start for this yard and has a significant absence to overcome. Has won over C&D though and looks on a decent mark so he's a dangerous one to put a line through if ready to go after a break.
Eleven time winner on the Flat with five of those wins coming here. Very disappointing when tailed off at Kempton last time but that run too bad to be true and is the type to bounce back. Claimer worth his 5lb claim booked and that could help this gelding get his head back in front. Needs a decent pace to aim at.
Still a maiden and handicapper yet to relent. Can be slow from the stalls and others preferred.

Vosne Romanee (15/8), Fast Play (3/1), Marshall Aid (4/1), Spiritoftomintoul (7/1), Hallstatt (8/1), Oratorio's Joy (9/1), Yasir (14/1), Consortium (20/1)
FAST PLAY has been in fine form recently and should prove hard to beat under a penalty while Yasir looks capable of bouncing back after a poor run last time with a talented claimer booked. Hallstatt may be able to back up his win in a claimer back in handicap company.
