Still a maiden after 12 starts but not beaten far here in a claimer last time out. Needs more back in handicaps though.
Not won for over two years and just has one win from 24 starts on the AW. Has been running okay without troubling the judge on recent starts and others make more appeal.
Still a maiden after 16 starts and well beaten on a couple of recent outings. His better efforts have come on the AW but he's hard to fancy in current form.
Won eight races in the past but well beaten in the main in 2017 and latest success came nearly three years ago. Has dropped to a career low mark now so clearly well-handicapped but needs the return of cheekpieces to rejuvenate him.
Two wins from 26 starts. Both those efforts came on the AW with the latter at Lingfield coming in a claimer over two years ago. Has run well on occasions but tailed off on his three most recent starts, the last of which came over hurdles and others have more attractive profiles.
Not won on the Flat since landing back-t-back C&D handicaps all the way back in 2012. Significant absence to overcome and likely to need this run.
Six-time winner in his career but all those efforts came back in 2013 and on a losing streak of 31 for this current yard. Has been running okay in similar quality races to this on turf in recent times but likely to find a couple too good once again.
Made a winning debut for this yard when taking a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m at Market Rasen (good) a month ago. Interesting to see if he can repeat that improved effort returning to the Flat and on a decent mark if he is. Engaged at Yarmouth Wednesday.
Well beaten on all five starts to date including a couple of efforts here and tailed off last time out. Seemingly up against it.
Well beaten in all three starts in maidens over similar trips to this. Mark looks fair on that evidence and we should begin to see more from her now, so a market check is suggested for this handicap introduction on AW debut.
Beaten a total of three horses in four starts to date and tailed off here last time out. Still early days but shown nothing to get excited about.
Unplaced on all five starts including a C&D maiden earlier in the season. Signs he's getting the hang of things on his latest couple of efforts but leap of faith required to think he can land a blow in this.
Forecasts
Gold Class (4/5), Elite Icon (7/1), Frozon (8/1), The Juggler (8/1), Flowers Will Bloom (9/1), Flying Power (14/1), Touch The Clouds (16/1), Medieval Bishop (25/1), The Batham Boy (50/1), Steady Major (50/1), Black Iceman (66/1), Barbary Prince (100/1)
GOLD CLASS looks the most interesting runner if taking up this engagement. He may be well-handicapped after winning on debut for this yard over hurdles last time out. Touch The Clouds has been running to a respectable level of late without getting in the winner's enclosure while Flying Power looks reliant on the return of cheekpieces to return him to form but well-handicapped if doing so.
