String of good efforts to his name but finds winning on turf and elusive prize (0-6), so needs everything to go his way under top weight. Drop in trip also a concern.
Should be suited by the drop back to 7f (won over C&D on penultimate start) and likely the ground will be ideal. Just 2lb higher than latest winning mark and interesting to see if the market suggests there is more to come from her busy spell.
Well handicapped but questions to answer regarding the return to racing on turf (finished last on her only outing for her current yard). Been placed over 7f before now, so not without claims if able to dig deeper than she has of late.
Best efforts to date posted at this course, so possible she will be revitalised for the return visit. Comes a long way to make her debut for her new yard but long absence an obvious concern.
Still a maiden but has bits and pieces of form that suggest she may be on a handy mark. Needs to bounce back from a poor run last time though.
Won over 6f here last October but is versatile regarding the trip, so should have no issues with the extra distance. However, she has a bit to find with The Special One and may have to settle for a minor role.
Finished a respectable third over 1m here last week - an effort was a marked improvement on previous form. The drop in trip shouldn't be too much of an issue and noteworthy the filly responds well for today's rider.
Still a maiden after 18 previous attempts and hard to see him being good enough to finally get off the mark after a moderate effort posted on his return from a long absence. At least has a top jockey booked but that may still not be enough.
Good effort to win over C&D last month but was well held when attempting to follow up over 1m a fortnight ago. Well handicapped on the pick of his old form but hard to see him improving at his age.
Finished well beaten behind the likes of Solitary Sister here at the start of this month and hard to see him having enough in the locker to reverse the form.
Very uninspiring form figures and hard to see her being involved at the business end this time around.

Forecasts
Miss Osier (5/2), Touch Of Color (7/2), Papou Tony (4/1), Solitary Sister (9/2), The Special One (6/1), Bella's Venture (15/2), Suni Dancer (10/1), Lily Ash (10/1), Lutine Charlie (12/1), Good Business (12/1), Blackadder (14/1), Ixelles Diamond (25/1), Dylan's Centenary (25/1), Nonnie And Norny (100/1)
There is likely to be more to come from GOOD BUSINESS at this sort of level and the filly may be hard to peg back if she adapts to racing in a visor. The Special One holds a few of these on recent form and would be dangerous to dismiss, while Miss Osier drops in grade today and is another that has little to find to get competitive in this company. Ixelles Diamond has a bit to prove regarding her ability to still cope with racing on turf but has been effective around here in the past so could be good value to nick a place in the frame.
