Rarely disgraced and again showed up well when a 3L third of 10 over 6f at Kempton last time, but it's now 16 starts since his last win. Relative consistency means mark isn't coming down, so again vulnerable.
Won twice in 2016 and had gradually been getting her act together for her current trainer before a poor effort on turf last time. Showed enough on her AW debut at Lingfield previously to suggest she can get involved.
Gained both wins in a 34-race career over 6f during the summer, though they have arrived on turf. Not quite so effective on the AW so far, though was a decent third at Chelmsford a few runs back. No margin for error.
Career-low mark here but clearly not at his best lately given how she has previously run off a much higher rating. First run for a new yard since leaving Patrick Chamings after finishing fourth at Chelmsford in September.
Admirable veteran with 15 career wins to his name, though without a win since May 2016. Decent effort when third of 12 over 6f at Kempton last time but, despite a 2lb drop, others look more persuasive.
Flickers of promise for Ronald Harris without winning in 12 starts, but clear signs of improvement on debut for this yard over C&D when not getting a clear run. Supported in the market that day, so of obvious interest off the same mark.
Back to form when winning at Chelmsford (6f) two runs back but twice held off a revised mark since, despite running creditably. Should continue to run well but wide outside draw makes task difficult.
Exposed performer with just two wins from 36 attempts and hasn't really looked like adding to her tally this year despite a plummeting mark, though not disgraced over 7f here latest. Worth a look in first-time cheekpieces.
Career record of 0-25 hardly breeds confidence, but ran well off higher marks when second a couple of times on turf in August. Yet to even place in five runs on the AW and others look more persuasive.
Not won since October 2014 and hard to fancy after posting yet another mediocre effort over an extended 5f at Bath (soft) earlier this month when only sixth of 10.
Maiden after 21 outings and registered just one placed effort in that time. Not beaten far over this C&D on last visit here in May and signs of encouragement since returning from a break, though failed to stay 7f last time.

Hisar (9/4), Fairway To Heaven (10/3), Quite A Story (5/1), Thorntoun Lady (8/1), Wild Flower (9/1), Wimboldsley (14/1), Broadhaven Honey (16/1), Justice Rock (20/1), Ambitious Boy (25/1), Emilene (25/1), Dalalah (33/1), Triple Dream (40/1), Jacksonfire (66/1)
The money was down for HISAR on his first start for Michael Appleby over C&D last week and, though he could only finish sixth behind Seebring, he didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages and rates a good deal better than the bare form. In a very winnable race, it would be no surprise to see the three-year-old swiftly atone from his lowly mark. Broadway Honey, Thourntoun Lady and Dalalah look interesting at bigger prices.
