6/5
Consistent performer with good form on all-weather surfaces. Third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 16 days ago, holding form well but nothing in hand from mark, plugged on after being headed. Has a good all-weather record that should mean remaining competitive.

6/1
Dual-purpose performer who gave running back on the Flat when 5th of 10 at this C&D (25/1) 38 days ago before running a solid race when 6th of 12 at Kempton (22/1) 25 days ago. Could be vulnerable to better-treated rivals.

12/1
Mixed form recently with three 5th placings in last five runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (40/1) over 10f on AW 23 days ago, running better than previously. Back up significantly in trip which may suit as most wins came over further distances.

7/1
Reliable AW performer with 6 wins including 3 at this course. Finished 4th of 8 in handicap at Kempton (4/1) 18 days ago, struggling to make inroads off a less true gallop following a 7 lb rise for her previous win. Returns to a favoured course where she has shown her best form.

6/1
Versatile performer who switches between flat and hurdles but without a win in 24 races. Caught the eye when third of 8 in a handicap at Kempton (22/1) 18 days ago, finishing strongest from off the pace. Worth considering off the same mark with conditions likely to suit.

Won maiden at Clairefontaine in August but form has declined since, finishing ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12/1) 26 days ago with hood refitted after being sold. Significant step up in trip needed after recent disappointing efforts.
