A winner five times in 34 career starts, he was wonderfully game and consistent throughout the 2016 campaign but has failed to run up to his best in three starts so far this season. Beaten 6L over 1f shorter last time, he needs a return to his best to strike here.
Landed back-to-back wins back in August 2015 over 1m6f when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam and has been highly tried at times since, without further success. Nothing special this term in four starts for Roger Ingram and runs for a new stable this afternoon.
Extremely lightly-raced for a seven-year-old, having had just 10 career starts, winning for a third time when successful over 1m1f at Hamilton earlier this month, on only his second ever run on the level. Longer trip will suit and he will not be far away.
Landed a 6f maiden on his debut at Doncaster back in November 2013 but has only managed three placings in his 16 subsequent outings. Has been running with credit in recent outings over 1m2f, not beaten far in any of his races and represents excellent each-way value.
A winner over a slightly longer trip in May of last year when trained by Andre Fabre in France and was gelded in December. Has struggled to recapture his best form so far this season, attracting little in the way of market support and he has it all to do here.
Stable in good form, he scored over an extended 7f on his second run at Beverley 13 months ago and returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Newmarket last time out on good ground. Shapes as though this longer trip will suit, a major player.
Initially trained by Hughie Morrison, he opened his account at Nottingham way back in May 2015, leading close home to win a 1m2f contest. Returned from almost two years off the track at Doncaster last month but was never a threat. Will strip fitter.

Forecasts
Roar (11/10), Ya Jammeel (11/4), Starplex (4/1), Indy (5/1), Tamayuz Magic (9/1), The Twisler (9/1), Parole (16/1), Foresee (25/1)
YA JAMMEEL has taken time to come to hand and opened his account at Chepstow recently when he was joined on the line by the fast-finishing Rahmah. However, he was a winner in his own right at Epsom last time when storming to an impressive victory and in his current form, he can complete the hat-trick. Indy is a consistent performer who regularly run with plenty of credit but has not been able to add to his debut success way back in 2013. As long as all eight run, he can run into a place and reward each-way selections. Starplex and Roar both arrive here on the back of victories and will certainly give the selection plenty to think about.
