Looks to have a significant amount to find following two poor runs in a hood. Those aids are removed and he appears to have lost his way.
Sole success in 22 starts came in a 1m4f AW maiden at Wolverhampton in April 2015. Handicap mark is falling as a result of some mediocre performances.
Winner of two over C&D including off 8lb higher a year ago. Poor in both runs this season but yard's horses were below par at the time. Stable have had a winner and a couple seconds lately and headgear goes back on. Looks interesting.
13-race maiden under both codes but has posted some good efforts on soft ground. Chances depend on the forecast rain making sufficient difference. Muddling pace would not have suited last time.
Winner of her first two bumpers at big prices in 2014/15 before switching codes. Better efforts have come over 1m4f and well weighted on that form. One to consider if prepared to forgive her two latest runs over further.
Remains a maiden after 19 runs and has been soundly beaten on last two starts under both codes. Hard to fancy.
Nudging up the weights but was a winner here off a higher mark last year. Probably hit the front too soon at Brighton and probably had too much to do at Lingfield last time. Ought to be on the premises again in what amounts to a weak contest.
Ex-Stoute inmate who produced an improved effort at Bath last time. Soft ground appeared to help that day and chances depend on getting him to settle.
Produced a career best over C&D last time on handicap debut. Caught the eye finishing well having been checked when delivering his effort. The form has been upheld since and this may be an easier race.
Winner of Fakenham seller with limited recent runs on the Flat. Last three starts under both codes have been poor.

Bohemian Rhapsody and Touboggaloo would have claims if back to their best. There are grounds to believe they could be better than their latest efforts suggest but both face a pair of improving three-year-olds at the foot of the handicap. King's Coinage shaped well behind a future winner at Nottingham last time and now steps up to this trip for the first time. KNIGHT DESTROYER may have achieved more in a competitive heat last time when he was checked in running at a crucial point. A 5lb rise may not be enough to halt him
