Relatively consistent performer at around 1m this season, winning twice with cut in the ground. Decent effort at Windsor last time from today's mark and well worth a try dropped back to today's trip. Claims.
Has won here over 6f and ran well over C&D (soft) last time when a 2L fourth from the same mark as today. Should again be very competitive in this field.
Steps up in trip here after being campaigned over 5f-6f in all previous 28 starts. Won on soft over 6f at Ripon in September from 3lb lower and went well here from today's mark last time. As a half-brother to a 7f winner there may be scope for more.
Won a 5f Wolverhampton maiden a year ago and was rated as high as 85 on the All Weather in January. Several comfortable recent defeats have seen him slide in the weights, but improvement not ruled out over this new trip.
Has won here six times over 1m-1m2f, though has never quite had the pace to win over shorter. Showed he can still won from today's mark when doing so at Ayr in May, but hard to see him having the toe for this at his age.
In the frame in four of his six starts without yet winning. Beaten just a neck in a soft ground maiden over C&D last time and now makes his handicap debut with no change to his mark of 66. No surprise to see him on the premises.
C&D winner (good to firm) first time out this season and came closest yet to winning a handicap back over C&D (good to soft) last time, when beaten just ¾L. Up 2lb for that and should be competitive, though slight concern over ground this soft.
Destroyed his field in a soft ground 0-60 contest at Musselburgh (7f) in September and beaten just a short head at Nottingham (1m½f, good) last time after a 10lb rise. Same mark today and anything that beats him should go very close.
Won over this trip at Southwell in January from 10lb lower, though yet to win on turf. Handles cut well enough, though well held over this trip on soft last time from just 2lb higher and comes here with a bit to prove.
Without a win since his 1m (soft) maiden success way back in 2015. 12lb lower going into this than when making the frame in a better race than this at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May, but little optimism from subsequent efforts.
Has won over this far and also handles cut in the ground. Has been nudged up further for a couple of decent efforts in defeat following at Catterick win in September. Should be competitive but may find a couple too good.
Well beaten in all five starts to date from 6f-1m. Further 3lb drop ahead of this first start for new trainer, but his level of form so far suggests that this might be asking too much.
All five of his wins were at Hamilton over 6f in 2013/2014 and with good in the going description. Some way below that level of form in 2017 and handicapper still looks to have his measure at present.
3lb higher today than when breaking his duck at Brighton (1m, soft) two starts ago. Resepectable effort from today's mark at Nottingham last time out but will need to improve to win again and shorter trip not necessarily ideal.
