Not easy to win with and found his brief run of good form coming to a halt having blown the start at Redcar last time. However, he has a decent record here and he's more than capable of making his presence felt at this level.

Successful twice during the spring and belatedly showed a mark in the low-to-mid 70s isn't necessarily beyond him when just failing at Newmarket in July. Looked laboured there 2 weeks later but profile suggests he'll bounce back.

Free-going sort who completed a double over C&D last autumn but has been running no better than respectably this year (blew start latest).

Bumped into a progressive type at Redcar on his second start and made a promising start in handicaps when fourth at York in July. Beaten before longer trip became an issue at Nottingham since but too soon to be writing him off with a headgear/tongue strap combination now applied.

Six-time winner in Ireland for previous connections but hasn't offered much for present yard despite a tumbling mark.

Raised his game when belatedly getting his head back in front over C&D in June. Struggled back on turf next 3 starts but latest run at Doncaster was much more promising and he's back on a winning mark returned to all-weather.

C&D winner off 5 lb higher in January. Recent form on turf is not so encouraging but worth a second look back on all-weather given his good record here.

Won at Ayr in May and has posted solid runner-up efforts on 3 of his last 4 starts. In the mix returned to all-weather.

Forecasts

Criminal Shore (4/1), Sunriseontheboyne (9/2), Flying Fletcher (11/2), Mr Mistoffelees (11/2), Bowood (8/1), Harry The Rogue (8/1), Starliner (10/1), Bee Farmer (12/1), Rising Force (12/1), Dragonflame (40/1), Natzor (66/1)

Verdict

CRIMINAL SHORE took a step back in the right direction at Doncaster last time and could be the answer returned to the all-weather having won off this mark over C&D in June. Flying Fletcher is another who is worth a second look back on this surface, while unexposed 3-y-o Bee Farmer is another interesting contender.
