Veteran who has won 15 races and has been running creditably this year, however has never won at the minimum trip and likely to find things happening too fast.
Finished a good fifth on handicap debut when short of room on a couple of occasions and was forced to ease late. Well drawn and stable in good form. Rates a leading contender down in grade.
Best recent run came over this distance at Wolverhampton in January but below that in three runs over further since. Worth another go at this trip in first-time blinkers but wide draw a negative.
Without a win for over two years and yet to score on the AW in 21 starts. Needs to raise his game after two poor runs and others preferred.
Totally out of form at present and has only beaten two rivals home in most recent four starts. Easy to overlook despite plum draw.
Has failed to convince in four previous visits here and was badly out of form when last seen in October. Sole win came in June 2017 and fresh record is poor. Best watched on reappearance.
Longstanding 61-race maiden and continues to badly struggle following another well-beaten effort at Wolverhampton two days ago. Remains easy to dismiss.
Yet to place or get close in six starts to date. Showed pace the last twice so drop in trip may help but plenty more required in first-time blinkers.
Cost 70,000 gns at the breeze-ups but well-beaten in three starts last year for Henry Spiller. Has joined a good stable and market likely to provide the best guide on first run since last July.
Showed pace on handicap debut in October before looking in need of the experience late on. Has since left Robert Cowell for just £600 and wide-draw to overcome.
13-race maiden but not disgraced over 6f at Wolverhampton last twice. Has plenty of speed to cope with the drop in trip and well-drawn. Respected down in grade.

Forecasts
Atyaaf (15/8), Pentland Lad (2/1), Zipedeedodah (5/1), Roy's Legacy (8/1), Swiss Cross (8/1), Brother In Arms (8/1), Storm Trooper (14/1), Wye Bother (20/1), Tilsworth Rose (50/1), Spring Holly (50/1), Celerity (66/1), Camino (80/1)
Wye Bother is drawn to attack and may be suited by the drop to the minimum trip at a track that suits front-runners. ATYAAF was a real eye-catcher over this C&D on handicap debut when left with no room to make a late challenge and the run can be upgraded. There's little depth elsewhere but Brother In Arms is another suited by this drop in distance while a market move for Pentland Lad should be noted.
