Useful gelding who posted good second in conditions event at Southwell earlier this year. However, rather gone backwards since and has plenty to prove at present. Cheekpieces back on.

Dual AW winner over 7f and went close behind smart prospect at Newcastle over this trip earlier this month. Yet to prove as effective on turf, though, and was well beaten here last time.

Improving in leaps and bounds, stepping up from his return when winning at Ripon before following up on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) last month, having the run of things but impressing with the way he knuckled down under pressure. 5 lb higher now but remains with potential.

Scored for second time when taking 10-runner handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago, running on. 3 lb rise fair and any further rain will aid his cause,

Landed 5f York handicap in May before posting a good third of 8 at Ayr (5f) last month when left with too much to do. Not seen to best effect at Haydock latest but debatable whether this stiffer test will suit,

Promising sort who backed up her Ripon maiden victory with a decisive success in 11-runner handicap (9/4) at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. 8 lb higher now but it's likely we haven't seen the best of her yet.

Back to winning ways at Haydock over this trip in May and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at same course (5f, firm) 21 days ago. Not out of things.

Fairly useful performer as a juvenile, ending campaign with solid fifth in 2-y-o Trophy at Redcar. However, offered little on belated return at Chester 4 weeks ago.

Upped his game in recent starts, scoring at Windsor and Wolverhampton (both 6.1f) this month. 7 lb higher and in deeper contest now but must enter calculations.

Chelmsford City winner in February who found improvement when good second of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Epsom (6f, good) 24 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and will appreciate return to more conventional track (hung badly right last time).
