Well beaten 12L sixth in a handicap over this C&D on good ground last time out. Has won over C&D in the past but is probably best watched at present.

Decent fifth over 1m4f here on seasonal debut but finished last of six upped to 1m6f at Bath (firm) subsequently. More needed if he's to take this race.

Placed on his first two starts this campaign including when runner-up over 2m1f at Bath (good-to-firm) in June. One to note despite a below par 6L seventh over this C&D last time out.

Promising handicap debut in this sphere when finishing fourth over 1m5f at Bath (good) last month. Races off the same mark here and this step up in distance looks likely to suit.

Held both starts since returning from nearly two years off the track including when tenth over this trip at Kempton in February. Others hold more obvious claims.

Won both starts since racing resumed including a handicap over this C&D on good ground last time out. Raised 3lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Five race maiden was beaten 7L when seventh other 1m4f at Ripon (good) last time out. Interesting to see how he fares on first attempt at this distance.

Beaten 14L when third in a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Fontwell (good) in August 2018. Absent since and is probably best watched on return to action.

Victorious four times but struggled when 9L seventh in first time blinkers (retained) over 1m4f on good ground here last month. Looks up against it in this contest.

Six race maiden was beaten 5L in a Ripon handicap over 1m4f on good ground last time out. Cheekpieces worn for the first time that day are retained and he is interesting upped in distance.

Verdict

BIRD FOR LIFE has been in the form of her life of late and she can complete a hat-trick with victory in the opening race on the card. The selection was a winner here last time and can get the better of New Millennium who is stepping up in distance. Third place can go the way of Norab who can put a below par effort here last time out behind him.
