All four wins have come on the AW and he is 0-12 on turf. Didn't run too badly when fifth at this track three starts ago, and is back to a mile, which ought to suit. Plenty to do under his welter burden.
Runner-up at Brighton and Chepstow last month before failing to match that form on slightly easier ground at the latter track last time. Underfoot conditions should be more suitable, but he is looks high enough in the weights.
On something of a roll after wins at Brighton and Bath. He is 6lb for the first of those successes, which is not too harsh, but he will still need things to go his way.
Only win in 13 starts came in September, last year, but ran well on first outing for in-form yard when a close fifth of eight at Lingfield on soft ground earlier this month. That was his first run for over three months and he should improve for it off a 1lb lower mark.
Registered her first success at the 14th time of asking when scoring narrowly at Chepstow last time. A 6lb rise looks harsh and others are preferred.
Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester last month, but finished a distant last of eight when sent for a race in France last time. That was on soft ground and she should be much happier with underfoot conditions this time.
Defied odds of 28-1 when winning narrowly over C&D 10 days ago. Turned out under a penalty, his chance has to be respected even though he is likely to find it tougher.
Returned to winning form in good style at Bath in June, but was hit by 10lb rise which has made life tougher on his last two starts. The handicapper probably has his measure for now.
Won in first-time blinkers at Brighton three starts ago. The headgear has not worked in two starts since and she is 1lb lower than last time.
Has not pulled up any trees in six starts, but her handicap mark is sliding and she has an interesting jockey booking. Worth a check in the betting market.
Still looking for her first win after 24 starts on the Flat. On a career-low mark, but no evidence to suggest she will be winning this.
Unplaced in eight Flat races and well beaten at big prices on all five starts for her current stable. Wears cheekpieces for the first time in a bid to find a spark.

Masarzain (9/2), Miss Osier (5/1), Suitsus (11/2), Fair Selene (6/1), Lyrica's Lion (7/1), Bradfield Magic (8/1), Passing Star (9/1), Aye Aye Skipper (10/1), Carcharias (10/1), Red Dragon (12/1), Moonstone Rock (25/1), Machiavelian Storm (66/1), A Definite Diamond (200/1)
Suitsus has looked a rejuvenated performer on his last couple of starts and, as one of only a handful of in-form contenders, has to be feared. Red Dragon won last time and should be thereabouts again, but the selection is MASARZAIN, who ran well on his only start for his in-form trainer and may be ready to strike. Lyrica's Lion is respected after finding the ground too soft last time, while Bradfield Magic would be of interest if the market speaks for him.
