Scored over 5½f (firm) here in June when 5lb lower, but twice held from this mark and in this grade since. Will need some improvement on her latest effort to be among the money again.
Goes well here and won at the track over 5½f (soft) a few seasons ago. Without success since October 2015 but now 5lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest that he will not be far away. Not ground dependent.
Has scored twice from a mark of 77, so 2lb above that today and has gone well in defeat from this mark on his last two starts. Victim of his own consistency and although he should be thereabouts, he will probably find something too good on the day again.
0-5 on turf, both his wins having been recorded on All Weather surfaces. Ran okay here over 5½f (firm) last month when 2lb higher and a beaten favourite and did better back on the All Weather last time. Probably has it in him, but also one to treat with an element of caution.
Behind September Issue over 5½f (firm) here last month when below par, but had previously gone very close over the same trip here in May, from 2lb higher than today. Definite claims if back to that sort of form but at the same time has a bit to prove.
Loves this place, especially when the ground is firm and has recorded all three of her turf wins on that going at this venue. The most recent was when beating Silverrica a short-head in May and she is now 2lb better with that opponent, so looks a serious player again.
Yet to win here but has run some good races in defeat. Comes here on a losing run of 21, but went very close over C&D (firm) from 11lb higher in April and again last time at Chepstow from 2lb higher (5f, soft). Short-list material.
0-8 on turf, with all four of his wins being on the All Weather. Back on the same mark as the last of those at Southwell in March, but needs to improve on his turf form on his first run on it since September. Eye shield fitted for last four turf starts left off today.
Dual C&D winner, the latest of those being last month on firm ground. Didn't make a bad fist of it from 6lb higher at Doncaster last time and has now been dropped 1lb, so will need to better that effort if he is to record a third success at the venue.
Better on the All Weather, although his only turf win was here over 5½f (firm) two years ago when 7lb lower. Shouldn't ind these conditions, but at 1-33 on the green stuff he clearly carries a health warning.

September Issue (10/3), Seamster (4/1), Excellent George (6/1), Jersey Breeze (7/1), Waseem Faris (7/1), Archimedes (8/1), Silverrica (9/1), Powerful Dream (12/1), Seve (14/1), Monumental Man (14/1), Air Of York (25/1), Big Amigo (25/1)
Course specialist POWERFUL DREAM gets the nod in this ordinary sprint handicap, given both her love for the place and the fact that she is 2lb better off with Silverrica, whom she beat here in May. Seamster also goes well here and would not be recording his first course win out of turn. Waseem Faris also has good track form and is on a handy mark, while Excellent George and Monumental Man each have claims if running to their ability.
