Won 1m½f maiden at Wolverhampton last year, but off more than a year prior to seasonal return, and not near his best in two runs this term. Cheekpieces reached for, and this represents an easier task, so may do better.
Consistent sort who is thoroughly genuine and gained second success of the year when battling back to land 1m handicap at Newcastle two weeks ago. Needs to dig out more to follow up, but sure to give it his best shot.
Stays further than 1m, but often finds less than expected whatever the trip, and failed to perk up for fitting of a visor at Chelmsford last time. Has moved from Tom Dascombe to Robert Cowell since.
Can start slowly and look awkward, but that didn't stop him winning at Chelmsford in May. Back to quirky self next time, and returns from an absence here, so probably best to look elsewhere.
Sprung a surprise when winning C&D handicap in August, and proved that was no fluke when good second at Lingfield last time. Cheekpieces he wore there are retained, and not easily dismissed.
Built on previous promise when winning 1m handicap at Windsor in July, but well held over hurdles following month, and in trouble a long way out back in this sphere at Chepstow last time. Plenty to prove now.
Dual winner over 7f/1m last September, and ran very well when third over C&D on belated return to action. Easy to find excuses for soft-ground flop at Musselburgh since, and likely to bounce back with blinkers fitted now.
Won maiden at Lingfield in February, and several creditable efforts in handicaps since, shaping better than the bare result when runner-up at Epsom last time.. Can build on that, and one of the likelier types here.
Narrow winner of muddling 1m maiden on debut at Lingfield, but hasn't built on that since, albeit meeting trouble in running back from a break there last time. Needs to raise his game.
Well-bred colt, and looked a fair prospect when winning 7f maiden at Ayr last September, but hasn't beaten a rival in three handicap outings in 2017, and clearly has questions to answer now.

Under Control flopped on soft ground at Musselburgh last month, but has ready-made excuses for that run, his second outing after an absence, and with blinkers fitted now, can bounce back to form. Cool Team was all out to score at Newcastle, but is well drawn and relishes a battle, so merits respect after a small rise, while Bluff Crag has generally been running well, and will go close if repeating his latest effort.
