Nine-race maiden has run well in both starts since switching to this yard with close up second and fourth both at Bath over 1m2f. Extra 1f here promises to help and again looks to have each way claims.
Now 20lb below his last win of 23 months ago and form overall suggests decline remains. Third here latest but beaten 13L and again looks a largely unappealing proposition.
Consistent sort built on a series of good AW efforts to return to winning ways on turf at Yarmouth latest. Had a break since and now 5lb higher but likable sort not ruled out by any means.
Still a maiden after 10 races but there were signs at the back end of last season that he was close to recording first win. Was disappointing on his return at Yarmouth (1m2f) where he was sixth of seven behind Gas Monkey but can come forward now.
Five-time winner with the majority of her winning form on soft ground or similar. Second at Chepstow latest (good to soft) as strong a form as any here but will need forecast showers to have an impact.
After almost two years without a win he had landed back to back successes at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) and Yarmouth (1m2f, good). Raised 6lb now but both wins with plenty on hand so hat-trick bid sure to be bold.
Struggled in four starts after finishing runner-up over 1m2f at Ffos Las (good) in September last year and refused to race last time out. Now has lots of question marks.
Still quite unexposed but doubts starting to creep in after two pretty dismal efforts the last twice over 1m6f. Drops in trip for new yard here and this distance may suit better.
Opened the season with success at Chepstow on fast ground. He has failed to follow up his victory over his last two runs but he has a better chance off this mark. Cheekpieces on for first time. One to consider.
33/1 win at Wolverhampton latest after a break was her second success in her last six races. 3lb rise for that not overly harsh but 0-7 turf record advises caution.
Shown very little to date in a bumper and three starts on AW. Handicaps may help but huge leap of faith needed today.
Maiden of eight ran reasonably on return but eighth of nine at Wetherby last time was disappointing and now leaves her looking a risky proposition.
Still a maiden but got the closest he ever has at Kempton latest (1m4f AW) when grabbed late on and beaten a neck by Croeso Cymraeg. 4lb rise for that looks harsh but a repeat effort could still see him go well.
A winner at the 21st time of asking at Lingfield in March he has largely been consistent since and ran pretty well over hurdles last time out. Could again be in the shake-up if overcoming this less than helpful draw.

After winning his last two races by a combined 9L RAIL DANCER remains worth siding with against a field lacking strength in depth. Among the most obvious dangers are Yarmouth scorer Gas Monkey and consistent Leicester winner Broad Appeal. If the ground ends up soft (showers forecast) Love And Be Loved must be strongly considered.
