Not beaten far over C&D last time out, when going down by just a length. 1lb lower in the weights now in a similar-looking race and may well be on the premises once again.
Two from seven so far in her career with both of those victories having come over this trip on the AW. Should be better than this mark but drawn way out wide.
Multiple C&D winner with a fair overall strike-rate but hasn't been at his best of late though he is back down below his most recent winning mark now.
Not beaten far over this trip at Kempton last time having won his first race for this trainer over that C&D in July. Could be capable of hitting the frame once again.
Multiple C&D winner but hasn't really been at his best this year, and drop in weights since last defeat cancelled out by same rider being unable to claim here.
Has done the majority of winning over this trip, and ran a fair race in defeat over C&D last time out. Goes off the same mark here and should go close in the hands of a jockey who knows him well.
Hat-trick seeker who impressed at Kempton last time in a competitive heat. Up to a career high mark but clearly improving for this stable and requires close consideration.
Ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Newbury last time but may not have been suited by the drop in trip. Down 2lb here and should be suited by this race much better.
C&D winner in September but has run poorly twice since and has never been the most consistent. Needs to put in one of his better performances on stable debut..
Two of his three wins have come on the AW, but all over 5f or 5½f. Recent turf form not encouraging but hinted at a revival at Lingfield last time back on Polytrack and he could go close based on that form.
Lightly-raced gelding who won a Salisbury maiden over this trip on debut but has been less impressive since. Needs to run to the level of that win on AW debut..
Course winner who has had plenty of racing for his age, and needs to do much better than some recent heavy defeats, especially coming from a wide draw.
Just the one win in almost two years, and though that came over this trip (which she returns to tonight), and much improved showing is needed compared to her recent form for a new yard.

A very competitive opener where few can be totally discounted, but perhaps CALL OUT LOUD can provide the answer. A real 7f specialist, he ran a fair race at a big price when beaten just three lengths here last time out. He could be the one to be with off the same mark and ridden by a jockey in Alistair Rawlinson who has been on board for four of his six victories. Hat-trick seeker Spirit Of Belle and top-weight Aventinus are others to consider.
