Not the most reliable of individuals but can be a fair performer on his day and showed his best form this year when winning a Lingfield claimer and suffering a barrow defeat back in handicap company last time out off this mark. Often slow away but capable enough in this grade and well drawn.
In fine form on the AW between November last year and January this scoring in four handicaps but has struggled to win since then despite some creditable efforts off higher marks. Has run well on turf before most notably when third here last year off a much lower mark.
Likely front-runner who is quite well placed to attack again and is a C&D winner already and ran well here last time out when finishing second over this trip. His yard are now up and running properly again after an enforced break and should run a sound race here.
Still to win a race from 11 starts but has shaped relatively well in two of her three starts this year although not the most consistent and can find it hard to string good efforts together.
A winner of a Chester handicap last year in a better grade than this and off a much higher mark. She's now dropped a long way in the weights and has the look of one who may come good soon having run better than her finishing position last time out.
Brings some of the better form into the race having won at Carlisle on her last start although she didn't have much in hand. Ran well back at the same course last time out when 7/4f having the run of the race and looks sure to go forward again here and quite well to drawn to do so.
Has run well in two of his last three starts and looked back to form from a poor run last time out when fourth at Ayr over 7f off a 2lb higher mark. Another one who likes to go forward so the draw in stall 2 will help as long as he doesn't get into a pace battle with a few others.
There was some promise in his third at Ayr a couple of starts ago but that hasn't been built on at all in his last two runs. Generally runs too freely and was a non-runner at Beverley yesterday.

Major Crispies (7/4), Fine Example (4/1), Flinty Fell (6/1), Sunnua (13/2), Whatsthemessage (7/1), Hamster Jam (7/1), Donnelly's Rainbow (8/1), Destination Aim (10/1), Ralphy Boy (14/1), Cyflymder (14/1), Fire Diamond (25/1), Captain Peaky (33/1)
An open race that should be run at a good pace with several of these likely to go forward and that could set the race up for a closer in the shape of DONNELLY'S RAINBOW who ran well last time out and could add to his maiden win here. Sunnua is starting to look of interest off a falling mark with Fine Example and Whatsthemessage looking to be the best of the front running gang.
