Mark is on the slide and that enables him to slip into a 0-60 for the first time after he ran a better race than usual last time. Was well placed though and that was just one race and more evidence is needed of a return to form.
Yet to win in handicaps and despite travelling well on his penultimate start he soon backed out of things when the heat was turned on. Well below form last time on the AW and his overall form doesn't make him that appealing.
Turned in a career best from out of the blue when taking a 1m6f handicap at Wetherby on her penultimate start really looking to relish the heavy conditions. Given a break after that and failed to repeat the run and with questions to answer now.
Formerly tried in bumpers without ant success and switched to the Flat and now into handicaps for the first time having had three maiden runs. Looked in those runs as though low-grade handicaps would suit and gets her chance here off a decent mark.
A losing run stretching back three years was extinguished at Doncaster in July although the form wasn't strong and since then he's merely underlined his inconsistency. Ran a sound enough race over C&D last time but overall looks vulnerable.
A course winner over a furlong shorter earlier in the season off a mark of 50 he returned to turf last time. He ran well for a long way but failed to see things out and it may well be a similar story today.
A mark that was much reduced looked to be the catalyst for his Nottingham win over 1m2f off a mark of 47. Remained in good form over the same C&D last time off 5lb higher and should have gone closer having been left poorly placed in the run for home.
12-race maiden whose last two runs here with the last coming over this distance have shown very little and even off a career low mark he's passed over.
Only a modest handicapper at best who has looked totally out of form this year and is now stepped up in trip in a bid to find some zip. Past form over this trip has looked to stretch her and she's best watched here.
Makes her handicap debut having shown very little in three maidens over various trips. Started at 100/1 last time out and it would be a surprise to see her score here even off a basement mark with a hood on for the first time.

Champagne Rules (3/1), Paddy's Rock (7/2), Highway Robber (4/1), Adherence (8/1), Hellavashock (9/1), London Glory (10/1), Dream Free (11/1), Schmooze (14/1), Poppyinthepark (16/1), Swiss Lait (40/1), Anna's Legacy (66/1)
Bargain basement stuff with a lot of these looking out of form or likely to struggle off their marks and it may well be that the inconsistent PADDY'S ROCK can build on his run here last time out with his runs over the 1m4f trip this year reading 53412. Champagne Rules would have a chance if he truly stays this trip having been poorly placed last time while Poppyinthepark is of interest now she goes handicapping along with Highway Robber if he could see things out over this trip.
