Sole AW success came at Wolverhampton and was beaten favourite on only previous try here. Won from a 2lb lower mark at Epsom last year but looks thoroughly exposed and others are preferred.
Back on the same mark as when winning over C&D last year and scored from 3lb higher at Kempton next time. Unable to add to that, but handicapper has given him a chance again and couldn't rule him out.
Scored over C&D from 9lb higher last year and almost ended his subsequent drought at the 15th attempt when beaten just a neck here last time. On that evidence he will be tough to topple here.
Has managed just the one win in the past couple of years, that coming over a similar trip at Windsor in August from 5lb higher. AW form not as good as turf form, however, with his sole success in 24 attempts coming here over 7f from 1lb lower. Looks up against it.
Dual C&D scorer and has also won over both 7f and 1m here. Goes into this 4lb lower than his best win and should be very competitive, though is at the same time vulnerable.
Chelmsford handicap winner over this trip in February and just 1lb higher today. Twice a winner over C&D and is 2lb lower than the most recent of those. Inconsistent, but for those thinking of a wager then the fact that he did not perform last time is, ironically, probably a positive.
Won a Chelmsford maiden on his fourth start, but took a further 21 races to break his duck in handicap company, when scoring at Southwell on what proved to be his final start for David Barron. Well beaten on debut for this yard from this mark last time and improvement required.
Moderate performer in maiden company but outperformed 25-1 odds when fifth of 11, beaten 2L over this trip on her handicap debut at Kempton last time. Given that she ran wide there, she may well be able to get much closer this time.
Forecasts
Staffa (5/2), Noble Deed (7/2), Bookmaker (7/2), Mad Endeavour (9/2), Encapsulated (10/1), Rigolleto (14/1), Perfect Pastime (16/1), Autumn Tonic (20/1)
NOBLE DEED has been through a spell in the doldrums but looked to be emerging from that last time and given that he won from 9lb higher last year, he is probably up to adding this to his CV. Staffa was probably better than the bare form of her latest Kempton run suggested and can pick up some prize money this time, while Rigelleto is back on a winning mark and should be very competitive.
