Ran well when finishing runner-up in a four runner contest over C&D on good ground in early May but well held 11 days later stepped up in trip at Chester (good). Return to this track (2/5 here) should suit and an interesting runner in this.
Beaten 13L when last of ten on her final outing for her previous yard at Chelmsford over 1m2f in March. Both wins in France came over less than 1m and this trip looks likely to stretch her stamina on debut for this yard.
Winner of a valuable contest over 1m6f on good-to-firm ground at Nottingham in August 2016. Held in four starts since then including once over hurdles and beaten 4L off this mark on seasonal debut at Lingfield (good) over an extended 7f last time out.
Winner of his first two starts in spring 2016 having been gelded during the winter. Disappointed three times since however including when sent off favourite on soft ground over 1m4f at Newmarket on his seasonal debut last month. Slight drop in trip should hold no issues.
Broke his maiden over C&D when wearing blinkers for the first time in September last year. That effort came on good-to-soft ground and he's been beaten twice since then including over this trip at Lingfield (good) when 4L fourth on seasonal debut last month.
Winner off a 4lb lower mark over 1m4f at Lingfield in November. Ran well twice subsequently including when beaten 1L into second over 1m3f at Southwell in March. Well beaten at Kempton last time and needs to put that effort behind him to figure here.
Successful over hurdles at Taunton (good-to-firm) in first time cheekpieces in January. Beaten twice since and well held off a 1lb higher mark on his most recent Flat outing over 1m at Sandown (good) in September last year.
Finished runner-up the last twice most recently over 1m2f here when beaten a short-head on good ground a fortnight ago. Races off a 3lb higher mark and worth a check in the market today.

West Drive (5/2), Priors Brook (7/2), Croquembouche (5/1), Ravenous (5/1), Opposition (6/1), Essenaitch (8/1), Fleeting Visit (10/1), Ibazz (16/1), Jazzy (25/1), White Nile (25/1)
WEST DRIVE represents an in form yard here and having won in first time blinkers last September he can record his second success wearing cheekpieces for the first time today. The selection ran well enough on his seasonal debut at Lingfield last month and can defeat Opposition who drops in trip here while Croquembouche can claim third having finished runner-up here on his penultimate outing.
