Held over this C&D on his two most recent starts including in first time blinkers (absent here) three weeks ago. Has won off higher marks in the past and over this C&D but is probably best watched at present.
Placed on both starts since returning from a break including when 4L third over this C&D on good ground last time out. Races off the same mark here and is one for the shortlist in this contest.
Well held ninth over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton last month when making his seasonal reappearance. Races off a mark 1lb lower than for his sole previous victory.
Made the frame in both starts this season including when ¾L second in a 2m1f handicap at Bath (good-to-firm) just under a month ago. Raised 1b for that effort and looks likely to run well once more.
Returning from a break when finishing sixth over 2m1f at Bath (good-to-firm) last month. Has won off a 1lb higher mark in the past but more needed if he is to take this race.
Recorded his fifth career victory when taking a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen (good) 11 days ago. Worth a check in the market having finished fourth over this C&D prior to that.
Improved on his first start of the campaign when finishing ¾L third in a 1m6f handicap at Thirsk (good) last time out. Races off the same mark here and is interesting stepping back up in distance.
Placed on both turf starts this season including when runner-up over 1m6f at Thirsk (good) a month ago. Previously finished ½L third over this C&D on good ground and she holds strong claims of registering a first victory in this event.
Making his first appearance since wind surgery when finishing runner-up in an AW handicap over an extended 2m at Newcastle earlier this month. Notable runner despite a 2lb rise in the weights.
Victorious over 1m6f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) last September and performed well when beaten a short-head over the same C&D on good ground when making her seasonal debut last month. One to note in this race.
Recorded her fifth AW victory when taking a handicap over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton by 1¾L last time out. Interesting to see how she fares racing off her 12lb lower turf mark.
Improved on seasonal debut effort when finishing fourth over 2m1f at Bath (good-to-firm) last time out. Has won off higher marks in the past but looks up against it racing from out of the handicap.

Mousebird (7/2), Paris Protocol (5/1), With Pleasure (11/2), Spring Run (11/2), Norab (7/1), Searching (10/1), Bird For Life (12/1), The Detainee (14/1), Master Grey (18/1), Adams Park (18/1), Danglydontask (40/1), Roudrapour (50/1), Tin Fandango (66/1)
WITH PLEASURE has run well on both starts this campaign and he can register a victory in this staying handicap. The selection finished third on his most recent outing and he can get the better of the maiden Mousebird who can claim second following a good run at Thirsk on her most recent start. Third place can go to the veteran Norab who was runner-up over further last time.
