Has really turned the corner since joining this yard recording three wins at Brighton last year before winning at Leicester on his second start this time around. Clearly adept on an undulating track and probably went too fast on the front end at Carlisle last time so worth another chance for a yard with a good record around here.
Won twice in 2015 and hit a bit of form on the AW over the winter. Beaten favourite last time out and has a break to overcome here so others hold more appeal and he's never scored off a mark this high.
Has improved for the switch to this yard last term winning races at Brighton and Newmarket. Sure to appreciate the drop back in trip here and well suited to an undulating track but not been seen since last year and entitled to need this run.
Rattled off a hat-trick on the AW 18 months ago but not won since and he's zero from 14 on turf. Faster ground to his liking so wouldn't want to see any rain arrive and others arrive here in better form and he's probably a little better over further.
Winner at Kempton for Sir Michael Stoute back in 2014 but has clearly had his issues and returned below form this year for new yard. Too keen last time and probably needs more relief from the assessor.
Showed some promise in maidens at Lingfield last year and won a small field Brighton contest after missing the break last month. Needs to learn to settle better, particularly if he is going to get his head in front in a deeper contest such as this but does at least have some form on undulating tracks and he's lightly raced for his age.
Won a maiden for Mick Channon at Wolverhampton and successful at that course again last month, benefiting from more positive tactics. Couldn't get to the front at Kempton last time and unproven on a course like this so may be up against it this time.
First win for nearly two year at Brighton two starts back but too free again in follow-up bid and often refuses to settle in his races. Forced to race from out of the handicap here and this is a deeper race so may struggle again.

Buckland Beau (3/1), Stosur (4/1), Frank Bridge (9/2), Muthraab Aldaar (9/2), Squire (13/2), Matravers (7/1), Galinthias (7/1), Live Dangerously (12/1), Lord Reason (14/1)
FRANK BRIDGE has proven himself on undulating tracks and he can be forgiven his run at Carlisle last time out. He is better judged on his convincing win at Leicester in May. Lord Reason is a danger to the selection if he's ready to go after a break and Galinthias won last time out and is still unexposed.
