1m7½f bumper winner last winter but things not gone to plan since. Stayed on in all of his four flat races this summer and all were over shorter so this trip will be more suitable. Layoff a question mark.

Tailed off on first start for this his fifth trainer so far at Kempton. 20lb below his last winning mark now so potentially well handicapped but beaten out of sight mostly since and a leap of faith required now.

80/1 winner at Thirsk in July and now only 1lb higher. Just given slightly too much to do latest over 1m4f at Kempton when a ½L third. Looks sure to give a bold showing here and trip should be perfect.

Strolled to success at 33/1 on stable debut in July but well beaten both starts since with handicapper quick to act. Three time course winner including once on AW. Second time after a layoff here and longer trip to suit.

All five career wins have come on AW, the latest in January at Lingfield. Lost his way for Gary Moore and no signs of a revival for this yard in two starts including here latest. Questions to answer at present.

Unplaced in four AW starts last winter but ran well enough to suggest he isn't inconvenienced by it. Lost way in summer and only beat two rivals in last four races. Handicap now interesting but has to show signs of a revival.

Landed an AW double last December but beat just one rival in five races since. Completely tailed off latest at Musselburgh and last here time before. Can't fancy him.

Ran a couple of good races at Hamilton and Musselburgh before flops at Ayr and Southwell. Only 2lb higher than Hamilton win now and 1m4f looks his optimum so improvement possible.

Veteran of 101 races. 15 months and 23 races now since last win. Poor efforts over hurdles split by a last of seven at Musselburgh when almost tailed off by the finish. Drop in trip may suit but worries remain over recent form.

Upped 17lb by the handicapper for back to back wins in October. Disappointed at Redcar latest but probably didn't stay 1m6f. Trainer in fine form and has excellent record here so could easily get back on track now.

Transformed since visored last twice. Course and distance winner two starts ago and ran well again last month when second of 14 at Dundalk. Surely has a good chance on same mark today.

Improved efforts last three times since stepped up to 1m2f and won last time out at Redcar. 6lb penalty for that not unreasonable and looked worth a try over this trip so merits consideration here.

Course and distance winner last August but changed stable twice since and showed little. Well beaten in three starts at Wolverhampton lately but handicap tumbled as a result. Looks well treated now if he can bounce back.

Course and distance winner in February. Not seen too much of him since but not disgraced in any of his starts off today's higher mark so likely to run another good race.

Forecasts

British Art (2/1), Four Kingdoms (7/2), Exclusive Waters (11/1), Senatus (11/1), London Glory (12/1), Life Knowledge (12/1), Traveltalk (12/1), Hayward Field (12/1), Almutamarred (16/1), Melabi (25/1), Tectonic (33/1), Calvinist (33/1), Galilee Chapel (50/1), Etaad (66/1)

Verdict

BRITISH ART has been transformed by the fitting of a visor and can continue his improvement in the headgear again here. Also meriting consideration is Four Kingdoms who has been on the up of late until not staying 1m6f last time out. Hayward Field is now well handicapped and ran well back on AW last time so he is another of the likely candidates.
