An unreliable sort who was third at Newmarket in August but last of 11 in a handicap at Ascot when last seen in September, seeming to down tools under 2f out. Blinkers back on after visor failed to work and something to prove back on all-weather.

Better signs when second of 13 in a handicap over C&D 7 days ago, bouncing back to form when dropped in grade and fitted with a first-time visor. Now down in 0-70 company for first time this year and needs considering.

Largely consistent in handicaps on turf this year but raced too freely at Bath last time. Now drops down in grade and races from a mark in the 60s for the first time in his career so has claims.

Well handicapped on last winter's form but struggled through the summer on turf and then reportedly finished lame when last of 9 at Newcastle in September. First-time visor now tried and, though yet to win over 1m, he's interesting from this mark if back in form after 61 days off.

C&D winner who hasn't fired this year but is relatively lightly raced of late and now races from below her last winning mark so could do better with cheekpieces back on.

Off the mark at Nottingham over this trip in June before third over C&D in July. Shaped well when third of 8 back at Nottingham last time and looks sure to be in the mix again back on all-weather.

Lightly raced and promising enough start for new connections when fourth of 9 in a 7f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago. More required but could come on for that outing back up to 1m.

Two-time course winner over 7f here but last 2 efforts far from encouraging and now steps back up to 1m.

Finally off the mark in July at Nottingham over 1¼m with cheekpieces refitted but not so good last 2 starts and now drops back to 1m and returns to all-weather with headgear removed.

Won slightly lesser race over C&D in August but found run of good form coming to a halt when tenth of 12 in a handicap here 26 days ago and is hard to fancy on that evidence.

Has found consistency since cheekpieces applied, making the frame at Newcastle on last 3 outings, including coming fourth of 10 over 7f there 6 days ago. Now back up to 1m and bit more to do upped slightly in grade.

Largely struggled since winning reappearance over C&D in April but now 7 lb below that mark and hopes pinned on return to this venue.

Forecasts

Dovey Moon (9/4), Signcastle City (10/3), Benacre (7/1), Ey Up He's A Star (8/1), It'sneverjustone (8/1), Lillie Margot (10/1), Orangesandlemons (10/1), Alessia Fernanda (11/1), Packetofbiscuits (14/1), Didaar (16/1), Calyxoh (18/1), Midsummer Storm (33/1), Rusheen Boy (33/1)

Verdict

BENACRE is well handicapped on last winter's form and could prove a different proposition with visor applied and freshened up by a break. He therefore looks worth chancing. Lillie Margot has a solid-looking profile and shouldn't be far away, while Orangesandlemons won over C&D in the past and may do better down in grade.
