Opened his account at the sixth time of asking when scoring on a sound surface over the minimum trip at Windsor in June, coming with a well-timed run to get up in the latter stages. Endured a rough passage when a beaten favourite over CD last time but is capable of a big run here.
Has three wins to his name, all over 6f, winning races at Haydock, Nottingham and Chepstow. Has been in the grip of the handicapper for a while and will need a return to his very best form to figure in the finish.
Has hardly set the world alight in his 10 career starts, managing the one place. Showed signs of some ability when trained in Ireland but has yet to really sparkle in his races in this country. Will need a return to his very best to figure.
Scored well over 6f on his debut at Windsor back in June 12015 when trained by Richard Hannon but has been unable to add to that success since. Has finished stone last in three of his last four races and has a lot to do to score here.
She was nothing special as a juvenile but has steadily come to hand this season, culminating in her opening success last time out, winning a race over this CD with a fine burst of speed, winning very easily. In great heart and could well follow up.
Quite a useful sprinter on his best form, winning five times in 37 career starts, but his losing run continues to stretch and now stands at nine. Has been steadily coming down the handicap and certainly has the ability to win more races.
Has run some modest races since winning his only race to date, when successful over 5f at Beverley back in May 2015. Has been off the course since February 2016 and is probably best watched on his return, running for a new trainer.
Has a couple of second placed efforts to her name but she remains a maiden after 15 outings. Was outpaced in her only ever start over 5f last time out and the move back up to 6f will improve her chances. May find a few too good all the same.
Has some fair form to his name over the years, landing six wins in 39 starts, five of them on turf, including a couple of wins at Chester. Faded late on in a race over 7f at this track last time, he could go better here back over 6f and could run well at a decent price.

SWEET PURSUIT has been coming to hand steadily this season and she deservedly opened her account with a bloodless victory over this CD last time out. Given more to do here, but the manner of her victory suggests that she could be a filly to follow in her current mood. All Or Nothin could run well at a big price and could sneak into the frame but a bigger threat to the selection is Twlight Spirit. She caught the eye when beaten at Ripon last time when she was unable to reel in the winner after a far from trouble-free passage. If the openings appear at the right time here, she will be finishing stronger than most. Flowing Clarets runs well in these races and represents excellent each-way value.
