Winner twice already in 2017 including over C&D on firm ground earlier this month. Finished runner-up here on soft ground since and contests this event following a 1lb rise in the handicap.
Best effort in three maiden races came when finishing 9½L sixth of nine over 1m4f at Lingfield on the AW in December. Has been gelded since and this drop back in trip looks likely to suit on handicap debut.
Winner over 1m here in the past and finished 4L second over that distance on firm ground here earlier this month. Tackles this trip for the first time today.
Racing over hurdles so far in 2017 including when fourth of eight at Kempton last time.. Won over C&D off a 7lb lower mark on good-to-firm ground in August and an interesting runner here.
Beaten 1L into second over 1m on good-to-firm ground here last July. Ran a respectable race when third over 1m2f at Sandown (good) in September when last seen in action. Makes her seasonal debut today.
Best effort in maiden events came when finishing fifth over 1m3f at Kempton in February. Beaten 16L into 11th in a 13 runner contest over 1m4f at Kempton earlier this month and wears blinkers for the first time today.
C&D winner on firm ground last August and ran well without winning in three subsequent starts last year. Well held ninth beaten 11L over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last month and likely to have come on for the run.
Beaten 6L on first Flat run for this yard over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last November. Subsequently finished 84L seventh in a novice hurdle at Ludlow (good-to-soft) last month and worth a check in the market today.
Maiden after 11 outings on the Flat and over jumps. Beaten 14L when 12th over 7f at Kempton on his most recent Flat start last month. Since beaten 30L in a novice hurdle and takes a substantial step up in trip today.
Beaten a head in a Class 7 1m2f event on the AW at Kempton in February. Well beaten when sent off favourite at Chelmsford last time out. Top jockey booked today and races from out of the handicap here.

Attain (11/4), Hot Mustard (4/1), Eugenic (6/1), Lady Lunchalot (6/1), St Andrews (7/1), Patanjali (7/1), Bob's Boy (10/1), Touched By Love (10/1), The Gay Cavalier (12/1), Mamnoon (14/1), Jazri (25/1), Whitstable Pearl (33/1)
All nine of ATTAIN'S victories have come on a sound surface or the AW and he can put a defeat over C&D on soft ground last time behind him returning to a forecast sounder surface today. The selection won off a 7lb lower mark here earlier this month and can get the better of Lady Lunchalot who was a cheap purchase at the sales earlier this year and has won off higher marks in the past while Eugenic who steps up in trip and Touched By Love who makes his handicap debut having been absent for well over a year are others to note.
