Put together a couple of wins at this trip towards the end of last season and races from 8lb higher than the latter today. Not disgraced over further on a couple of occasions last backend and if firing first time back then he is entitled to be involved.
Well-placed to win five of his 18 starts, including a similar contest over 1m4f at Haydock last September from 1lb lower. Has won on good, though seems best of good to soft, but stiff 1m2f here may suit and has claims.
Stiff 1m2f here looks ideal for this gelding who can be inconsistent, but still managed to win twice last season. 3lb higher than latest win today, although has never won when fresh.
Won two of his nine starts last season, both over this trip. Appreciates a sound surface and doesn't have lots to find, though if he wins it is likely to be a career-best effort.
Dual French winner for Alain De Royer-Dupre last year and has first run for new, in-form yard today. Both success were on soft, though he went well enough on his on try on faster ground. Market check advised.
Completed a hat-trick at 1m1f and this trip for Sir Mark Prescott last year, making it a four-timer on his first start for current yard. Went up 19lb as a result and although he has not won since, he went well enough from a mark of 92 a couple of times. Leading player.
Two recent All Weather wins at Lingfield (1m2f) and Newcastle (1m4½f) before being outclassed last time. Can't rule out further progress just yet, however, and is respected.
Comes into this from 1lb higher than when winning over this trip at Epsom (good to soft) in June. Went close again on her only start from the same mark of 88 since that win. That is beginning to look her limit and she may find one or two too good again.
Seems to go on any ground and won over C&D on soft in October from 7lb lower. Well accounted for on both starts since, including return run and seems best watched for now.

Hail Clodius (5/1), Final (11/2), Snoano (6/1), Bahama Moon (6/1), Cote d'Azur (6/1), Cymro (6/1), Just Hiss (6/1), Ashkoul (13/2), Innocent Touch (7/1), Empress Ali (8/1), Magic Circle (8/1), Imshivalla (10/1), Great Hall (14/1), Top Notch Tonto (14/1)
A good handicap in prospect and in the hope that he is fit enough first time out then the unexposed JUST HISS gets the nod. Hail Clodius is another who can go well from lower in the weights, while Great Hall, Cymro, Ashkoul, Final and Cote D'Azur are others who are all capable of significant involvement in a competitive event.
