Signs of ability earlier in the season confirmed when this fellow bolted up here last week. That was his first start after a gelding operation but he will be hard to master if the 6lb penalty is brushed aside.
Claims on the best of her form last season but she faded badly when upped to this trip last time out and obviously now has something to prove regarding her stamina.
Landed a quick-fire brace last month and may still have a little more to offer despite being put in her place at Bath last week. That form still looks good enough for consideration at this level and, with tonight's ground being more to her liking, Richard Hannon's filly is capable of at least going close.
Only modest gains in maidens before being left for dead on her handicap debut at Sandown last month. Granted she was eased near the finish on that occasion and may well do better. But she does have a bit to prove and it's hard to recommend anything other than a watching brief be employed tonight.
Got off the mark at the first time of asking in a 1m maiden at Kempton. Steadily upped in trip subsequently, he has plenty to prove after struggling in handicaps and is another that is best watched here.
Has plenty of experience to draw from but none of it winning form and has a bit to prove regarding the ground (most of his outings have been on the AW up to press).
Three starts have yielded very little so far but possible she may improve now her stamina becomes more of an issue. Ought to handle the ground but likely a few of these will take her measure.
Out of the handicap and has very little worthwhile form to recommend an interest on this occasion. Did finish fifth over C&D last time and possible the first-time blinkers will sharpen her up a bit. But that still has the feeling of clutching at straws from a betting perspective.

Medalla De Oro (5/6), Fanfair (4/1), Fire Palace (7/1), Mister Chow (8/1), Crystal Secret (9/1), Broad Appeal (10/1), Presence Process (16/1), Becuna (20/1), Lady Prima (33/1)
This is a good opportunity MEDALLA DE ORO to follow up last week's bloodless success recorded under the same rider on similar ground. The 6lb penalty obviously makes life tougher and it would be no surprise to Fanfair capitalise if the selection fails to deliver as expected. Mister Chow and Lady Prima can have their own personal grudge match to make it as the best of the rest.
