8/1
An amazing 138 runs under his belt (though only once at this track) and has already won twice at Wolverhampton this year to take his winning tally to 15. Obviously holds no secrets and could only manage fourth off this mark at Lingfield last time.

3/1
Won four times for Andrew Balding but has changed yards twice since and losing run now stretches to 17. Just signs in a couple of races at Wolverhampton recently that he is slipping to a workable mark and jockey booking catches the eye.

20/1
Fine servant to various connections down the years, winning 12 times, but has looked a shadow of former self in two runs this year since returning from a significant absence. Hard to fancy despite a plummeting mark.

6/1
Six times a winner on turf but never on the AW from 10 attempts. Not entirely discredited when fifth of 10 behind Henry Grace over 1m at Kempton last time and dropped 2lb, but still has a stamina query to answer over this longer trip.

4/1
No impact in maidens but more encouragement in AW handicaps, including when keeping on to finish third behind Celtic Artisan over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton latest. May improve for this step up in trip and looks a player off current mark.

7/2
Five-time winner but on a lengthy losing run, though he did go close when touched-off over this trip at Kempton on his penultimate outing. Could only manage fourth over C&D last time and, though he is theoretically well-treated on old form, he needs things to drop right.

9/2
His only two career wins have come over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton, most recently off a 7lb higher mark 14 months ago, but the losing run is starting to stack up. Never quite got home over a longer trip at Lingfield latest but more in favour here.

25/1
Seasoned campaigner who has paid his way with eight career wins, though losing run now stretches to 13 months and 22 races. Ran one of his better recent races over 1m at Kempton last time but suspicion remains that this longer trip stretches his stamina.

Forecasts

Hannington (3/1), Jazri (7/2), Hymn For The Dudes (4/1), Cahar Fad (9/2), Rocket Ronnie (6/1), Outlaw Torn (8/1), Gunner Moyne (12/1), Valantino Oyster (20/1), Lutine Charlie (25/1)

Verdict

HANNINGTON has shown signs of a revival since joining Michael Appleby's yard last month and has been dropped 3lb despite going down by only 3L over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time. If anything this looks a weaker contest and, with Silvestre De Sousa looking a notable jockey booking, it would be no surprise to see him end a lengthy losing sequence. Hymn For The Dudes improved in this headgear combination at Wolverhampton last time and should be suited by today's longer trip whilst a drop in class could easily see Gunner Moyne get competitive again.
