Drops in class for this, which makes him of interest and although he is 0-2 at the venue, he has run well here and all his winning form is on All Weather surfaces. Should be competitive from this mark.
Both of her wins have been on the All Weather at Lingfield and Wolverhampton and she goes into her first run here in good form after scoring at the latter venue from 6lb lower last time. Inconsistent but nonetheless respected.
All three successes have been on artificial surfaces and he went close here over C&D last year. More consistent than most at this level, hence remaining 4lb higher than his latest win, but should be thereabouts.
Loves it here and has recorded two C&D successes, though the last of them was going on for two years ago. Never got into it from this mark back over C&D last time, but this is less competitive and he is not ruled out.
6lb better off with Staffa, whom he finished 2½L behind at Wolverhampton last time, so has a chance to turn the tables on her. Has already won three times this year and should again be very competitive.

RED STRIPES is given the nod in the nightcap and after a poor effort here last time, he might even represent a bit of value given his usual good form at the venue. Pushkin Museum is interesting now dropped in class, while Swendab, Frank The Barber and Staffa all have each-way claims.
