Shown very little in five starts this year. Tailed off on the majority of his starts and needs first-time cheekpieces to spark improvement.
Shown very little form in four starts under Rules to date, tailed off in a bumper in May before similar performances in three starts over hurdles. Drops back in trip and hard to fancy.
Some promise in the point-to-point sphere but very little shown on five starts under Rules at Downpatrick. Seemingly slight better on heavy ground but leap of faith required to fancy him in this field on first start for new yard.
Some fair form in a trio of bumpers prior to this season but well beaten on return in May and tailed off on hurdle debut at Worcester last time. Place claims if back to his best but bit to prove currently.
Failed to complete in four point-to-point runs and tailed off on the three starts he's completed over hurdles, including yard debut last time out. Plenty to prove at present.
Former Godolphin recruit and maiden on the Flat but some useful performances in that time and plenty of promise at Uttoxeter on hurdles debut. Needs to jump a little better here but likely to come on for that run and should be thereabouts once again.
Well beaten on Flat debut but only found one too good at Cartmel last time. Beat the rest of the field by some distance and backed well enough to suggest there will be more to come now. May do better for the faster ground and has to be of interest here.
Very poor on last couple of starts but had previously shown ability when not beaten far at Sedgefield. Drop back in trip ought to help and faster ground shouldn't be an issue. May want softer ground than what she will get here though and has something to prove from a well-being perspective.
Still a maiden after 11 starts including her first try on the Flat at Chester last time out. That may have been used as a pipe opener for this contest but has a fair bit to find on form. First-time cheekpieces applied.

SAINT CONTEST may be the one to be with here now returned to hurdling and he sets a decent standard for his rivals to aim at. Dance Rock showed enough at Cartmel suggesting he may be worth following while Deshan wasn't disgraced in some of his bumper efforts.
