C&D winner in the past who usually runs his race and showed game aptitude when a winner over 7f here 11 days ago. Up 3lb for that to joint-career-high mark but leading chance on current form.
Yet to win so far and has been tried at a host of trips, but produced career best when second in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap in early June. Down to 1m off 1lb higher mark for this but looks weighted to go well.
17-race maiden who finds winning hard to come by. Denied a clear run and rattled home late when 2L sixth at Kempton (1m) recently and eased 1lb for that. Worth a market check in a lesser contest.
Had several solid efforts in defeat and one win last term but returned with poor 30L defeat at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month. That run was too bad to be true and should be better than that.
Remains a maiden over both flat and jumps and last seen racing on the level when 3L fourth in 1m Yarmouth handicap in August. Failed over jumps since and makes return off career-low mark.
Off the mark at Kempton (7f) on penultimate start and not a bad effort off 6lb higher mark when 2L fifth at Chelmsford (1m) recently. Off the same rating in this but nothing to suggest he shouldn't be thereabouts.
Eight-time winner who typically runs well at this venue, including when runner-up two starts ago. Not as good on turf since but remains on a workable mark with notable jockey booking.
Had proved to be a model of consistency throughout most of last term but not as good lately, including 6L sixth at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month. Eased 2lb but bounce back is needed.
Mainstay at various AW (second here in January) but well-held lately, including 6L defeat at Lingfield (1m2f) in March. Returns off 1lb lighter mark but each-way claims on best form.
Started to become regressive in injury-plagued career recently and didn't land a blow on return when 19L ninth at Haydock (1m2f) a week ago. Mark has plummeted since but hard to see him landing a blow.
Twice a winner at this track in the past, including over C&D and improved from seasonal bow when 2L fourth at this track (1m1f) last month. Drop in trip should pose no issue and is a contender off basement mark.
Only 2-43 starts in Ireland and last seen making minimal impact under both codes there, including 6L defeat in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2m). Not seen since October 2017 so has mammoth break to contend with on stable debut/return to action.
Nine-race maiden who has shown very little to date on the track. Latest tailed off last of 12 in Chester novice (7f) suggests this could be a task too far for him.
Forecasts
Fountain Of Life (4/1), Seaforth (11/2), Red Archangel (6/1), False Id (6/1), Kybosh (6/1), Musee D'Orsay (8/1), Vipin (9/1), Final Attack (14/1), Pike Corner Cross (14/1), Voice of A Leader (22/1), Boycie (66/1), My Painter (125/1), Hilbre Lake (200/1)
Plenty come into this contest with a shout but preference is for FINAL ATTACK to resume winning ways at a track he loves. A previous C&D winner in the field, the nine-year-old is off high joint-lowest mark in his career but showed glimpses of returning to his best form at this venue last month. He could be set for a revival sooner rather than later. Seaforth sets the form standard given his consistency and winning return here last time but the handicapper is now refusing to budge, while Fountain Of Life produced a career best last time but needs to show some consistency. Kybosh can't be ignored on his best form, but stopped slowly last time and it a worry whether that has left a mark.
