Profitable to follow on the AW lately but now on a stiff mark despite being dropped 1lb since his last run; handles turf but no easy task on these terms.
Improved in two outings since dropped to this trip and still has some scope for improvement. Still a maiden but not much to find to break the hoodoo. Worth a betting check.
Dual C&D winner that rounded off last season with a good spell of results. Never won from a mark this high and has an absence since October to overcome though.
Previous course winner that arrives here in good form after chasing home a progressive rival last time out. Well handicapped on past efforts and very capable of getting involved again here.
Been well backed on a number of occasions - including when tried over C&D last season - still has room to move from his current mark. Dangerous to underestimate; the first-time hood can help his concentration. Shortlisted. (Yard won this last year.)
Cost 280,000 gns but didn't cut the mustard when with Sir Michael Stoute; but not harshly treated for his handicap debut. Also his first run in cheekpieces and debut fur a new yard, so probably best watched.
On a handy mark and is proven at this course, so comes with a reasonable chance of making the frame. Not the most consistent though and needs a lot to go her way.

The well handicapped PENDO goes well here and has plenty going for him at this level. Gas Monkey has been expensive to follow but is another with course form who comes into the reckoning. Go Foxhas improved since being tried over this trip and is another to bear in mind.
