Eight time career winner but below par efforts in the main of late. Signs of promise when running on late over C&D latest and dropped 2lb for that effort. Interesting here.
Winner off a 2lb higher mark on turf at Newbury in June 2016 but well beaten on all outings since. Signs of a possible return to form last time out however and has a top jockey booked here.
Course winner in 2015 but two wins since have both come over hurdles. Promising efforts on first two outings for this stable here but beaten 5L into sixth here last time out but has a decent chance if returning to form.
Beaten 3L off this mark over 7f here on his penultimate outing. Subsequently finished eight at Lingfield when racing more prominently. Steps up in trip here.
Dual AW winner including over 7f here as a three-year-old. Well beaten over C&D when dropping in trip last month and best recent efforts have come over further.
Caught the eye in a competitive event at Dundalk in December but disappointed twice since at the same track over further. Drops back slightly in trip for this and worth a check in the market.
Beaten 2L in first time blinkers and eyeshield over 1m at Kempton last time out. Retains that headgear and upped in trip here but remains a maiden after 19 outings.
Finished fourth in a first time visor (replaced with cheekpieces here) over C&D on his penultimate outing. Disappointed at Southwell subsequently but of interest for a yard with a 40% strike rate recently (2/5).
In poor form over hurdles and on the Flat since switching to this yard. Beaten 15L over 7f at Newcastle on latest outing earlier this month and plenty to prove here.
Beaten an aggregate of 52L in three maiden's over 7f and 1m earlier this year. Makes handicap debut off low mark here.
Registered a double inside a week on turf in August 2014 but hasn't visited the winners enclosure since. Placed off 1lb higher mark when third over 1m4f at Southwell in January but beaten favourite at Newcastle subsequently and cheekpieces are fitted for only the third time (won in them the first time) here.
Maiden after 13 starts and made his debut for his yard when pulling up at Warwick last month. Latest Flat outing resulted in a 47L defeat at Chelmsford in October and plenty to prove from out of the handicap here.

Lucent Dream (4/1), Star Ascending (6/1), Monna Valley (6/1), Arcanista (7/1), Paddy's Rock (8/1), Dibloam (8/1), Raise The Game (9/1), Dove Mountain (10/1), Turnbury (12/1), Coach Bombay (12/1), Victor's Bet (14/1), El Tel (22/1), The Greedy Boy (50/1)
STAR ASCENDING represents a yard who's horses are running well at present and he can claim a third career success here. The selection finished fifth at Southwell last time out but ran well when fourth here the time before and racing close to the pace may help in this contest. Arcanista ran well in the first time eyeshield and blinkers at Kempton last time and can follow that up by claiming second for another in form yard while Dove Mountain is another who has been running well recently and he can take third.
