Registered sole success in 22 starts in February and not discredited in four runs since. Has gone well here previously and ought to be thereabouts in a race which should take little winning.
Has gone 19 races without a win and yard have drawn a blank since April. May find one or two too good once more.
Sole success came 21 runs ago when blinkers were fitted for the first time. Six runner-up spots since may indicate frailties. Should be competitive off this mark with stable jockey back on board but his profile is unappealing.
10-race maiden who has been off the track since February. Stable have hit a bit of form in the last couple of weeks but this filly has looked weak in a couple of tight finishes and others look more likely.
Put a couple of dismal efforts behind him when noted staying on late at Yarmouth two weeks ago for his stable debut. A hood appeared to make a difference but, having failed to win since his debut and having gone through three other trainers in the past 12 months, he appears to carry risks.
Turf form looks well below his Southwell achievements on which his handicap mark is based. Looks up against it unless talented claimer can make a huge difference.
Three runner-up efforts in August of last year but closer to last than first in four subsequent starts. Remains a maiden after 28 races and may need the run after a second break in 10 months.
Yet to make the frame in nine starts and only beat one home here last week. Looks hard to fancy at present.

Jack The Laird (9/4), Strictly Carter (7/2), Seprani (7/2), Noble Deed (6/1), Wild Flower (8/1), Jazz Legend (10/1), Malaysian Boleh (10/1), Ginger Truffle (16/1), Autumn Tonic (33/1)
Few of these have the profiles of horses you should be taking short prices about. Jack The Laird and Noble Deed are on handy marks but there are doubts either can take advantage. Seprani wears a hood that add to indicators in her form that she may be somewhat frail if this comes down to a tussle. Jazz Legend is another with a troubled profile and STRICTLY CARTER may be the more straightforward option. He has produced some solid efforts since breaking his duck earlier in the year and this looks easier than the task he faced when chasing home a subsequent winner last time.
