Has bounced back in cracking form since racing resumed with a rapid hat-trick in less than a month. 6lb higher still after short break since winning at Leicester and much-respected.
Both wins came at Southwell 1m4f in early 2019 and has been disappointing most starts since then; going the wrong way in three starts lately and hard to fancy back on the all-weather.
13-race maiden but has repeatedly gone close in six AW starts in 2020; little disappointing in first-time blinkers in maiden h'cap at Wolverhampton (1m½f, AW; 9-2) latest. Probably too keen early on. Headgear off now.
Both career wins on turf but handles the all-weather; may have need recent Lingfield run (1m4f, AW; 33-1), his first start since October. Lurks on previous win-mark and blinkers back on now.
Broke maiden tag at 11th time of asking when getting up close home at Newcastle (1m2f, AW; 9-1) in October; hasn't run since and 2lb higher on first start for an Archie Watson team that are flying.
C&D winner in February from a mark of 58; in and out efforts since but returns from that same win-mark and dropped in trip again; can't be discounted.
Won here in 2016 but no success since Plumpton maiden hurdle almost two years ago; well held all starts last year and back from layoff starting out for new trainer. Market will be useful.
Long-standing maiden who is effective from 1m-1m4f; not really sparkled in three runs recently but is on a very workable mark should this long trip see him kick into gear.
Unplaced in six-race career and not really looking like altering that status. Beaten 15L at Lingfield (7f, AW; 8-1) last week. Marked step up in distance but remains opposable on formbook.
Her two career wins have been at big odds and came out of the blue; went close last time at Lingfield (1m4f, AW; 22-1) in third spot and now must show she can back that up.
Lawman filly, unplaced in seven starts so far for three trainers. June efforts at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) less than convincing and remains opposable on form.
Sole victory came over 1m2f at Yarmouth last summer; 1-21 in total now however and recent efforts not that encouraging despite sliding handicap mark. Needs to find more back up in trip.
Scored over 2m1f at Bath in June, fair effort there next time but not as good since at Chepstow. Is capable over this shorter trip if bouncing back however.
Now a 13-race maiden, was beaten just 1½L when finishing fourth over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good) last August. Only one start since and may have needed that after 345-day layoff; visor (worn first time at Windsor) back on and may do well.
Forecasts
Noble Account (16/5), Menin Gate (4/1), Double Legend (5/1), Sunshineandbubbles (13/2), Bird To Love (9/1), Light Of Air (11/1), Earthly (16/1), Global Style (16/1), Ardimento (20/1), Elsie Violet (22/1), Temur Khan (25/1), Kismat (40/1), Thermal (80/1), Jumping Jack (100/1)
It might be worth taking a chance with KISMAT in the finale. Alan King's mar went closest to breaking her duck under this rider at Windsor over a similar trip in August last year and is now rated 2lb lower having raced only once since. That was after a layoff and, with the visor she wore that day back on; she should be plenty sharper. Sunshineandbubbles is seeking a four-timer and must be respected while it won't be a surprise if Menin Gate strips fits and ready on first start since joining Archie Watson. He's bidding to follow-up his win at Newcastle in October.
