Victorious over an extended 1m2f at Chester (good-to-firm) in May and fair efforts in finishing fourth over the same distance twice since. Races off a mark 2lb higher than for that latest success today.
Wore cheekpieces for the first time when winning over 1m2f at Nottingham (good) in October and they returned for the first time since when he unseated rider leaving the stalls at Yarmouth last time out. Likely to run well in this.
Maiden after nine starts and finished a decent third over 1m4f at Chepstow (soft) when last in action in early June. Also placed at Wolverhampton this season and drops in trip today.
Winner of his last two outings most recently over 1m2f at Leicester (good-to-soft) at the end of May. Races off an 8lb higher mark today and one for the shortlist in this contest.
Successful off a 5lb lower mark at Sandown (good-to-firm) under today's jockey back in May. Ran well when second subsequently but disappointing last time and needs to return to form here.
Disappointing since joining this yard and beaten 27L in first time cheekpieces (left off here) at Chester (good-to-soft) over an extended 1m4f last time. Others make more appeal here.
Broke her maiden over 1m2f at Salisbury (good-to-firm) when with Ralph Beckett. Best effort in three starts for current yard came when third of five at Thirsk (good-to-firm) over 1m4f on her penultimate outing.
Finished third on each of his last three starts including when beaten 3L in an eight runner contest over 1m4f on good-to-firm ground here last week. Races off the same mark today.

FIRST VOYAGE was a casualty leaving the stalls when contesting a handicap at Yarmouth last time out but can make amends with victory for trainer Charlie Appleby here. The selection had finished third on his first outing in handicap company and the drop in trip can see him record a second career victory at the chief expense of Vernatti who is chasing a hat-trick following wins at Leicester and Yarmouth. The veteran Toga Tiger, fourth the last twice can claim third today.
