Winner in France over this trip on soft ground but well held on all three starts for new yard. Mark has dropped 13lb since his arrival and that enables him to get into a class 6.
Came from last to first to score over 7f here two weeks ago. His two previous wins were gained over 6f and the bigger question is whether he can handle a 6lb rise in the weights.
Last two runs have been at Newcastle when she has been a bit too keen. This easier track will help as will a drop in grade.
3-9 in this grade and cheekpieces had a positive effect here last week when showing improved form to finish fifth. Had to be delivered four wide around the bend that day and she is poorly drawn again.
Yarmouth winner for John Butler and not disgraced there on stable debut. Never going well next time and four AW runs at Dundalk were disappointing.
Winner of four races this year including a Tapeta success at Newcastle. Highest winning mark is 61 and style of running demands luck in running from an inside draw.
C&D winner who has just had three runs this term but appeared to be coming to hand here last week when a close fourth
Supported on last two starts and the fitting of blinkers and a step up to 6f did the trick at Kempton when winning with plenty in hand. Still 2lb "well-in" on official figures despite a penalty. Drawn to get another nice tow in the race.
Produced one of his better AW performances here last week and has been holding his form well since his Cheptsow success. One of several slow starters in this and another who will need luck.
2-58 record and sole AW success came on Tapeta at Newcastle. Second start for veteran trainer but on a two year losing run and others arrive in better form.

TWO SEAS scored with plenty in hand at Kempton in similar company and he remains on the right side of the weights despite a penalty. A good draw with a likely pacemaker drawn alongside to provide him with a similar scenario to Kempton and he will take all the beating. Dollar Value is drawn wide but can still go close as he is one the few who wants to be on the pace early. Many of these will need luck in running and Fantasy Justifier, with his inside draw, may be best placed to deliver.
