Not scored for some time but has dropped to a handy mark and took a step back in right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 10 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Dual winner last term who wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Tongue strap back on. Just 1 lb above last winning mark.

Bagged Yarmouth handicap (8f) off 3 lb lower for Eve Johnson Houghton in September and may have needed outing, on return from 7 months off, when eighth at Kempton (8f) on yard debut/return 12 days ago. Others preferred, though.

Consistent performer who posted another solid effort when second of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 34 days ago. Races off same mark and is one for shortlist.

Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when third of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Remains well treated on old form and merits consideration.

Won 3 times on AW earlier this year and shaped as if back in form when fourth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Brighton (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Back from 4-month absence when good third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations.

Won 3 times at this sort of trip last year and showed benefit of reappearance run when very good second of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 17 days ago. Back on last winning mark and holds strong claims.

Bath winner (8f) in April who returned to form when creditable third of 8 in handicap over same C&D (firm) 10 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Posted respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) when last seen in March but not the easiest to win with and percentage call is to look elsewhere.
