Weakened disappointingly last time out and now has something to prove on a literal reading of that effort. He had previously been in good heart but lacks consistency.
Can never be confidently ruled out at his favourite course but has been struggling to find his form of late. The draw could have been kinder but a likely candidate to pounce if any of his main rivals have an off day.
This is his time of year but has been well below his best of late and comes here with a bit to prove. However, he is unexposed at the trip and has a course win to his name, so not without claims on the very best of his efforts though.
On a long losing run since winning over 1m at this course in 2015. Recent evidence suggests he is on the downgrade at the moment and looks a risky proposition at the moment.
Has gone well at Southwell in the past but often ruins his chances by starting slowly and leaving himself with too much to do. That said, he was hampered at a crucial stage in his latest start so may well have finished closer. Claims at this level if he turns up in the same frame of mind.
Won a poor apprentices handicap on the turf at Ayr last year but her form tailed off pretty quicky afterwards. Stable has been quite of late and best watched on her first start for a while.
Very difficult to see an about turn in form after a sequence of poor efforts. Likes Chelmsford but has plenty to prove at this track.
Set to race from just out of the weights and, given his long losing run has never looked like being halted in any of his recent starts, he isn't difficult to overlook on this occasion.
Unexposed, but has shown very little sign of ability in any of her five previous starts. Easy to oppose on her debut on this surface.
A long-standing maiden and has shown very little to suggest he can get his head in front. Has a beneficial draw and a top AW jockey booked for the ride, so can have very few excuses this time around.
Made the frame only once in 16 previous starts and is yet to race on this surface, so has plenty to prove on his comeback from a long absence.
Very long losing run to overcome and has failed to beat many horses home in his recent starts. Up against it at the weights and the first-time hood and tongue tie combination will need to spark a huge amount of improvement.
A lightly raced filly but she showed very little promise in any of her starts for Paul Cole and has a lot to find if she is going to get competitive now she debuts for a new yard.

Tasaaboq (3/1), Limerick Lord (7/2), General Tufto (5/1), Fossa (8/1), Quadriga (10/1), Bold Grove (12/1), Rupert Boy (14/1), Sober Up (16/1), Madam Mai Tai (16/1), All Or Nothin (20/1), Thrtypointstothree (22/1), Les Darcy (33/1), Tallulah Fleur (33/1), Dramatic Voice (100/1)
All of these have something to prove for one reason or another, so siding with RUPERT BOY comes with a couple of red lights attached. However, he is at least open to improvement at the trip and, given that he likes this course, his claims are more solid than the rest. Course specialist General Tufto can never be ruled out at this level and has sound claims of at least making the frame in this modest company. Tasaaboq and All Or Nothing are forwarded as the best of the rest.
