Well beaten on both previous runs here, though returns in much better form after going close at both Yarmouth (1m) and Newcastle (1m) in the past few weeks. Up another 1lb for the latter, but should be thereabouts.
Enjoyed a successful spring, including a C&D success from 9lb lower and at Musselburgh win from 3lb lower. Well held in all three starts since, including two here, but the handicapper is relenting slightly and she has an each-way squeak.
Last two wins have been in selling and claiming company at Redcar (7f/1m), while his sole All Weather win was in a Lingfield claimer well over two years ago. Failed to make an impact over C&D from this mark last time and has wide draw to overcome.
All three of his wins have been over 6f at Wolverhampton, though he did run well here over that trip from this mark in April. Claims if able to reproduce that, but whether he is as effective over 7f is open to debate.
Three of her four wins have been on the All Weather and she lines up at this track for the first time here. Was beaten just a neck from 5lb higher at Lingfield on April and not disgraced over this trip at Chepstow last time. Not ruled out.
Both his wins were over 6f at Wolverhampton. Visits here for the first time and comes into this in reasonable form, though not good enough to suggest that he can win this. Looks to have frame claims again.
A 20-race maiden who has run well here, including when beaten 1½L into third over C&D in July. 1lb lower today, though was comfortably accounted for from this mark over C&D last time.
Has gone close in defeat here before now and has not seen lots of action in the past couple of years. Inconsistent, but 2lb lower than at Kempton last time and if he is on a 'going' day then he has a squeak at these weights.
Well held in a claimer and a couple of maidens. Enters handicaps on a very lowly mark, but with so little encouragement so far a watching brief is very much the recommendation.
Sole success came in a Southwell maiden (6f) in December 2014. Has only seen the racecourse four times since then and has been nowhere near that form. Now out of the handicap and impossible to recommend on recent evidence.
Made the frame here from this mark in a similar contest in February, but all of his best form has been at Southwell and over shorter trips, so hard to enthuse about his chance from out of the handicap and on a losing run going back to 2013.

Honey Badger (5/2), Caledonian Gold (3/1), Isntshesomething (5/1), Binky Blue (5/1), Tasaaboq (8/1), Royal Caper (14/1), Monsieur Royale (14/1), Nonno Giulio (25/1), I'mwaitingforyou (25/1), Quick Monet (33/1), Satellite Express (50/1), Upper Lambourn (50/1)
Another poor contest and Royal Caper would have claims if able to run to his ability, while the same applies to topweight Honey Badger on his return to this venue. Isntshesomething is not ruled out, Monsieur Royale comes into calculations, though the tentative choice is BINKY BLUE, who is in decent form and on a very competitive mark.
