Signs of a little ability when unplaced in three 7f contests last term but did better on handicap bow over 1m2f here last month when beaten less than four lengths. Should be better for the run and may improve again over the extra furlong plus.
Dual AW winner at up to 1m3f but 0-10 so far on the turf. Ran solid race though last time when second of 11 in Leicester 1m2f h'cap but 4lb higher mark here makes life tougher.
16-race maiden but has run creditably last three starts of late at up to 1m4f on a variety of ground. Holds few secrets from the handicapper though and doubtful 1lb lower mark will make enough of a difference to prevail this time.
Both career wins have come over this C&D so despite three modest efforts so far this term has to be respected having never tasted defeat here. Just 3lb higher now than last win and young rider claims 7lb off her back.
Won over extended 9f in Ireland in 2017 and is a dual 2m hurdles winner. Absent nearly two years prior to two outings of late, doing better last time when fifth of 12 at Kempton last month. Eased 2lb but still has a bit to prove.
Mainly campaigned on AW and won Chelmsford 1m2f hc'ap in May last year off 48. Showed little in two runs during the winter and not seen since March. Having just second turf start and likely to better for the run.
Four runs so far in maiden and novice company at up to 1m2f last season. Makes handicap bow stepping up in trip and open to some improvement in this company. Worth a market check for yard that has its share of winners here.
Showing gradual improvement with each run and best effort to date last time when led 2 out at Ripon 1m4f, only to be caught close home and beaten half a length. Former champion booked this time and is of some interest.
Three uninspiring efforts last season in novice company but better this term since handicapping and built on 5th at Leicester in June with staying-on second here 1m2f two weeks ago. Should stay this trip and enters calculations.
Raven's Pass filly who failed to shine in three runs in novice company since racecourse bow last month but this may prove more her level. Represents shrewd handler so any sign of market interest could be noteworthy on handicap bow.
Not without promise in first three runs and attracted market support here on handicap bow 1m2f two weeks ago when sent off favourite. Stayed on to finish fifth of 12 and champion jockey back on board as he tackles additonal furlong plus.
Fair fourth of 12 on second start at Wolverhampton 1m1f in December but ran poorly following three-month break when beaten a long way in Lingfield 1m2f maiden in March. Back after another rest and makes handicap bow for top team. Has a bit to find.
Nothing to write home about in three starts in maiden and novice company so far at up to 1m2f and starts handicap career off modest mark and with first-time visor added. Hard to enthuse over.

Old Friend (2/1), Thunder King (4/1), Ocean Reach (13/2), Para Queen (8/1), Derek Le Grand (8/1), Telekinetic (10/1), Lady Elysia (10/1), Sir I'll Chance It (16/1), Buto (22/1), Sposabella (25/1), Level Of Intensity (25/1), Chamomile (25/1), For Richard (28/1), Cinnabar (33/1), Vitellio Scarpia (50/1), Archdeacon (100/1)
Many of these may be seen with eight flights or more in front of them before the end of this year but OLD FRIEND may pay his way at this game and ran well enough over 1m2f last time to suggest he could strike now with the extra furlong and more to cover. Thunder King went close to winning at Ripon 1m4f last time and rates a danger, while For Richard and Telekinetic also enter the equation on recent evidence. Para Queen is 2-2 here and is approaching a feasible mark once again so has to be respected, and any move for handicap debutants Cinnabar and Sposabella would be well worth noting.
