Justified support in comfortable fashion for new connections at Nottingham last month. Disappointed under a penalty at Sandown the following week but worth another chance given more of a break this time.

Belatedly off the mark in good style here (7f) last month. Unlucky not to follow up under a penalty at Southwell but he looked awkward when down the field over C&D on Saturday. Visor left off now.

Hold-up performer who won back-to-back at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month. Not seen to best effect in hat-trick bid at former track 10 days ago but lack of obvious pace here could be an issue back on all-weather.

Better than ever when resuming winning ways at Kempton 11 weeks ago. Developing a good record there but was unlucky not to score here in April.

Narrow winner at Chelmsford in March but has struggled for form this summer. Easing back down in the weights at least (now only 1 lb above last winning mark).

Confirmed he's back in form when second at Sandown 3 weeks ago but proving difficult to win with.

Lost his way for Denis Hogan in Ireland and no show both starts for current yard.

Now 3 lb below last winning mark but failed to meet market expectations when fourth at Wolverhampton in March and never a threat back up in trip there 10 days later. Off since.

Made more of an impact off his much-reduced mark when second here (7f) last month but failed to back that up over same C&D next time.
