Probably at her best over 5f on fast ground, but has won on soft and over this trip and was not far away when last seen at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last month. Changed yards since then so it will be interesting to see what the market says of her chance from the same handicap mark today.
Relishes getting his toe in and sprint trips from 5f-7f, so has to enter calculations on that basis alone. Carries a penalty for his recent Chepstow win in a weaker contest, so will find things tougher, but still not ruled out.
Winner of a Doncaster maiden (6f, heavy) on debut in May, he has not matched that level in two subsequent handicaps. Dropped 2lb going into this and back over this trip on turf, he should be capable of going close and tongue strap may assist with that.
Broke his duck at the seventh attempt here over C&D last time (good to soft). That was a career best so far and he is clearly still improving, so has to be taken seriously in his attempt to defy a 6lb penalty.
Races over his optimum trip and handles cut. though has been beaten from this mark three times since winning at Chepstow in June and not easy to fancy for win purposes given that.
At his best with some ease in the ground and over this sort of trip. Dropped 2lb since being beaten 1¾L over this trip at Chepstow recently and that certainly gives him an each-way shout at the very least.

The Daley Express (7/4), Alaadel (2/1), Bonjour Steve (6/1), Showmethewayavrilo (6/1), Kinglami (7/1), Tigerwolf (10/1), Fredricka (12/1)
Not a great race on paper and one where ALAADEL might be able to record his first handicap success. He has already shown that he handles testing ground over this trip and both a 2lb and a tongue strap might help him come good again. Fredricka should be competitive once more, while Tigerwolf, Kinglami, The Daley Express and Bonjour Steve are others who will feel that they have a chance if things drop right.
