Finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton in May. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) last month and not seen to best effect when last of 7 at Windsor since. Possibilities.

Lightly-raced maiden who was a close third on his C&D handicap debut last month. Failed to repeat that when fifth of 9 over 1¼m here 16 days ago but may do better back down in trip.

Discovered the winning knack of late, scoring twice at this track (6f/7f) this summer. Does need to shrug off a poor run here last time, though. Back up in trip.

Eleven runs since last win in 2025 but has finished runner-up 4 times this summer, including going down by only a neck over C&D (good to firm) latest. Likely to give another good account.

Back to winning ways over C&D (good) in June and followed up in a classified event at Lingfield (good to firm) 12 days later. Edged out only on the line when bidding for the hat-trick at Salisbury (1m, good) last time. Should go well again.

Long-standing maiden but he's dropped plenty in the weights and placed efforts on his last 3 starts (C&D latest) show he's down to a mark he can be very competitive from. Yard in form. Another to consider.

Maiden who hasn't helped her cause by regularly missing the break. Respectable fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on first time.

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 12 to Too Much Trevor here (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Another who can't be discounted.
