Ten time winner who is an experienced hand round this course. Only modest form of late, however, having not won since April 2015 and having finished second only once in that time. Drops to the lowest level, which may help. Trip and draw are fine.
Last time out winner who prevailed by only a head on that occasion over C&D, and has been raised 2lb as a result. Drops markedly in class though and look to have the ability to be a big player once again.
Has been knocking at the door recently having been beaten less than 3L on each of his last five starts. Narrowly beaten in a seller at Southwell last time, and though the surface is a question mark for him, he should go well if proving he can handle it.
Came within a neck of getting off the mark at the 33rd attempt last time, and looks able of winning a race of some description at some point. Drop in trip is a slight concern here given how she traveled through the final furlong last time.
Has shown little in handicap, selling and maiden company, having failed to place in any of her 11 starts so far. Looks to be fundamentally lacking in talent, even by the low standards of this field, and she's one of those more easily discounted here.
The manner in which he has been running recently suggests that he's well handicapped despite his somewhat misleading form figures. Drop in trip from his last couple of outings isn't an issue and the way he's been running recently suggests the likely strong pace here should suit.
Hasn't scored since a C&D success in December 2015 and has looked as if the handicapper has his measure of late. Does prefer the minimum trip compared to 6f though, so perhaps the drop to this trip compared with the class relief might help.
0/11 so far but she's only young and has showed snatches of promise, especially in some of her early races, such as when running well in defeat here on debut over a furlong further. Handicap mark seems a little high but it is gradually lowering and she should be considered. Cheek pieces on.
Well beaten on all starts so far and has looked especially ineffectual at this course. Finished last of all in a claiming race here last time and the draw is unlikely to do anything to help him.
Has run some passable races in defeat but looks potentially outclassed up against some of these, and looks best watched to see if she can improve from the early stages of her career.

RED FLUTE has been running some very eye-catching races in defeat recently, always seeming to put in his best effort and at the age of five, it's very possible that there's still improvement to come. He needs to prove he acts on Tapeta, which is the only question, but if he does he looks potentially well handicapped and could be the one to lead them home. Meanwhile Teepee Time has put in a couple of solid efforts recently and should go close in an easier looking race, while Lizzy's Dream has been running much better than her form figures suggest and is just as effective over this shorter trip.
