Having a busy year and mark has been slipping as a result. Hinted at a revival at Newbury on penultimate outing, but ran poorly at Brighton last time, and questions to answer now.
Won over 7f at Lingfield last summer, and best effort this year when second of 12 to Garth Rockett at Chelmsford last time, making running. Has run well on only previous try around 1m, so respected.
Ended losing sequence over 1m at Newcastle in March, and back to form when runner-up over C&D last time despite going off hard enough. Should give another good account.
Produced a career-best performance when close fifth to Servo in a C&D handicap in May after a lengthy absence. Does need to prove he can reproduce that form, but given time to recover in bid to avoid bouncing.
Won first two starts on AW for Johnny Farrelly this year, including here, and ran respectably when fifth of 13 to Divine Messenger at Kempton last time. Has changed stables again since.
Both wins this season have come at the lowest grade of handicap over C&D, and he's found life harder otherwise. Good rider booked here, though, and course form gives him place claims
Running consistently well of late, scoring over 7f here in May and he ran very well in defeat over C&D last time, maintaining a strong gallop throughout.
Lightly raced since scoring at Newcastle in October 2016, and has presumably had issues. Below form at same venue after a lengthy absence last month, and something to prove now.
Claims on pick of his form for George Peckham, and better effort for current yard when staying-on fourth over C&D last time, although possibly helped by being held up in strongly run race. Must build on that.
On a lengthy losing run, and while he wasn't disgraced when third for new yard over C&D in May, he followed that with a poor effort, and isn't one for maximum faith these days.
From family of smart stayer Franklins Gardens, and while she has shown just minor promise in three qualifying runs, it would come as no surprise to see improvement now handicapping, and market will be informative.
Zebedee half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f/1m winner Ferneley. No impact in three runs to date, but goes handicapping off a lowly mark, and likely to do better if blinkers have a positive effect.

Aphaea (9/2), Stringybark Creek (9/2), Adventureman (5/1), Towton (11/2), Final Attack (8/1), Haabis (10/1), Gone With The Wind (11/1), Palindrome (12/1), Emily Goldfinch (14/1), Sunovarebel (16/1), Glasgon (20/1), Let Me In (20/1), Mount Cheiron (33/1)
Handicap debutants TOWTON and Aphaea are bred to be much better than their respective marks, and money for either would look very significant, with Towton given the nod in first-time blinkers. Adventureman and Palindrome have solid recent form to fall back on, and also merit consideration.
