Won a Wolverhampton maiden over this trip in October 2015 before being gelded and having well over a year off. Began to hit some form again last time over C&D (good to firm) and may well be capable of being competitive despite a 2lb rise.
Has scored four times in a variety of conditions, which is a plus with possible rain around and over 6f-7f. It is only 13 months since he made the frame at Thirsk from 13lb higher, but turf form tailed off quickly and recent All Weather form not great, so looks best watched.
Sole success was over this trip at Sandown (good) in July from today's mark but has been in the grip of the handicapper since. Claimer now up in addition to the return to this mark, while visor (worn for the first time on her latest run) is retained. Not ruled out.
1lb lower here than her only win, which came over this trip at Wolverhampton a year ago. Went close next time from 4lb higher at Salisbury (good to firm) and if she could get back to that level then she would be a leading player, but recent form suggests that this will be tough.
0-13 on turf, his three wins being on All Weather surfaces. Never got competitive over 5f here last time but now drops 2lb and returns to his optimum trip. Trainer no stranger to winners here, so market check advised.
0-13 career profile and has so far not got competitive in the three of those that have been on turf. Well beaten from today's mark last time out at Wolverhampton, which was a disappointment after having gone well from a higher mark the time before. Likely to find at least a couple too good.
Showed bits of promise in a couple of auction maiden events over this trip but was way off the pace in his first try in a handicap. Now 9lb lower than that and should begin to start getting more competitive.
Won from this mark at Kempton last year over 1m. That was his first success for the years and he seems to reserve his best for that track. Very inconsistent and hard to fancy.
Down another 3lb here for an 8L defeat at Chepstow last time on her reappearance, but not easy to make a strong case for her on either her turf form or the predominance of her races, which have been on the All Weather.
Beaten 1L into second (1m) at Chelmsford in November from 1lb lower, but well beaten when sent off favourite next time over this trip and back over 1m at Kempton last time. Needs to improve to be thereabouts today.

Swilly Sunset (2/1), Moi Aussie (10/3), Top Offer (9/2), How's Lucy (13/2), Lawfilly (8/1), Cooperess (9/1), Rising Sunshine (12/1), Humour (16/1), Pitch High (22/1), Great Expectations (50/1), Chandrayaan (66/1)
A very low key affair where caution is advised and it may be worth taking a pot shot with HUMOUR, whose trainer has winners here and has combined a 2lb drop in the weights with a 7lb claimer and a return to this optimum trip. Swilly Sunset should make an impact if able to reproduce his latest effort, while Top Offer and Pitch High are others who could go well. Despite not leaping off the page, with the former champion up it might also be prudent to check the market where Moi Aussie is concerned.
