Added to his good record at Doncaster when running on for fifth over 5f on Saturday. Handicapped to be thereabouts if getting the breaks.
Listed winner earlier in his career. Yet to fire this year but bit better at Ripon last time and mark continues to slide.
Thriving earlier in the year, winning 3 times at Newcastle. Off 9 week.s not seen to best effect when midfield at Doncaster on Saturday (likely still in form).
Veteran who has been shaping up well of late, including when sixth (just behind Orvar) at Doncaster on Saturday. Hold-up style dictates that he'll need things to drop right but still one to consider.
Front-runner who has performed with credit on 3 of his 4 starts this season and is well drawn to attack in stall 2. Respected.
Dual 5f handicap winner this year. Behind a few of these at Doncaster on Saturday but this return to likely softer ground should help him.
C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in July. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap over C&D (good) 6 days ago. Drawn not ideal.
Benefited from a cool ride when arriving late to score at Doncaster in July but he's not the easiest to predict and has been below par twice since.
Has been more miss than hit since landing a C&D novice on heavy ground in May 2019. Lost all chance when ducking right at the start here last week.
Chester specialist and return to this venue sparked an upturn in his fortunes when running-on third over C&D 6 days ago. Ought to get involved again.
Last 4 wins have come on the AW but went very close at Catterick on penultimate start. Keeping on when snatched up 1f out here last week and treated as if still in form.

Broken Spear (16/5), Wrenthorpe (4/1), Orvar (5/1), Vintage Brut (17/2), Mutabaahy (10/1), Tathmeen (10/1), Triple Spear (12/1), Powerallied (12/1), Manshood (16/1), Duke Of Firenze (18/1), Seen The Lyte (20/1), Canford Bay (40/1), She Can Boogie (50/1), Dylan De Vega (80/1)
A chance is taken on BROKEN SPEAR who is likely to have ground conditions in his favour and is nicely drawn towards the inner. Wrenthorpe should be able to lead up from the 2 box and is another to consider, while 6-time C&D winner Powerallied bounced back to form here last week. Orvar and Duke of Firenze will need things to fall right but are capable of doing some damage from their marks.
