Still a maiden after 14 starts and while he's shaped like he's capable of winning a race, his form has been disappointing since joining this yard. Poor effort last week at Catterick and needs to improve for the fitting of a first-time visor.
Beaten favourite last time out and yet to score in seven starts but has been running well in defeat, including a respectable effort here two starts back when she missed the break. Good chance on that form if she gets a cleaner start.
Yet to win but has gone very close twice, latest of which was a runner-up effort on fast ground at Yarmouth. Beaten favourite last time but may have found conditions too soft and possible she will enjoy the switch to AW. Poorly drawn though.
Needed every inch of the 7f when stepped up in trip at Yarmouth last time to get up and win a seller handicap. Often compromises his chance with slow starts and may struggle to recover around here. Makes AW debut.
Makes her handicap debut after three disappointing efforts in maidens, including AW debut at Newcastle last time out. Needs to drastically improve for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie.
Winner at Yarmouth this summer and some respectable efforts in defeat since but strike rate of one win from 42 starts is off-putting and he's had 25 chances on the AW without success. Ran well on last try here but looks a better horse over 6f.
Less exposed than many in here but yet to place in four starts. Needs to improve for the drop back in trip and first-time visor; makes AW debut.
Beaten out of sight at Brighton last time, shaping as if amiss. Doesn't always look an easy ride and still yet to win in 11 starts, including three unplaced efforts on the AW. Hard to fancy.
Not won for nearly four years and losing run currently stands at 33 for this yard. Ran a big race here last time though and drop back in trip should be in his favour so can't be ruled out if he returns in that sort of form.
Still a maiden after 14 starts and pulled up last time out at Brighton on yard debut. Unplaced on all five AW starts and has well-being to prove after last time.
Losing run now stands at 24 on these shores but has been winning in Jersey lately. His habitual slow starts won't help him around here and not beaten many home on his last five starts in the UK; others preferred.
Unplaced on all 12 starts, including three starts on the AW. Often compromises her chance with slow starts and has finished tailed off on her last five efforts; likely to struggle again.

Dream Start (3/1), Jack Nevison (4/1), Touch The Clouds (5/1), Good Business (5/1), Tallulah's Quest (7/1), Justice Rock (10/1), Lesanti (10/1), Black Truffle (10/1), Shyarch (16/1), National Service (25/1), Back To Love (50/1), Katie Canford (50/1), Compass Rose (50/1)
DREAM START looks more solid than most in here after some respectable efforts of late, including a good third over course and distance and she may be able to shed her maiden tag at the eighth time of asking. Touch The Clouds is an interesting runner after a prolonged losing run but his effort here over the mile last time out suggests his turn may not be too far away while Tallulah's Quest has been running well and should be thereabouts if she takes to the all-weather and can defy a wide draw.
