Often goes well at Chester (three successes) but he ran poorly there eight days ago and doesn't look an obvious winner here off just 1lb lower; can spoil his chance by starting slowly.

Won this two years ago and close third in it last season (both on good ground); won at Chester (7.5f, soft) this May and solid third there (7.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there. |

Low-mileage 4yo with a strike-rate of four from six; scored twice over 7f here in the spring and he ran creditably when a keeping-on third of 11 at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that run, his first for nearly four months, should have blown away the cobwebs, and he can continue on the upgrade, with the extra yardage likely to suit; big chance.

Regularly acquits himself with credit in good-quality handicaps and his C&D win in July came off 1lb higher; has to put below-par run at Ripon (race won by Garden Oasis) behind him but that's not out of the question.

Came from well back to spring a 66-1 surprise over C&D 11 days ago, having three of today's rivals behind him; that looked a useful contest and a 3lb rise isn't excessive; whether this will pan out so favourably remains to be seen. |

Has form on most ground but two most recent wins on soft (7f) and good to soft (1m); below best on final start for Les Eyre, over 1m here in October, but is just below his latest winning mark last June and interesting to see what he comes up with on debut for new yard. |

Front-runner; has won three of his last four races, gamely holding on by a nose at Ripon (1m, good) on latest; that form was boosted by the runner-up's subsequent win at Sandown, but a 6lb higher mark still demands more and David Allan jumps ship to ride Cruyff Turn.

9st 8lb |
Prominent racer who made an encouraging return from a break when second of 17 at York (7f, good to soft) last month; probably did a bit too much too soon when fourth at Thirsk (1m, soft) eight days later and should be treated as if still in form; well drawn to attack from the inside stall and likely to make a bold bid for C&D win number three. |

7f Haydock winner in July, but he finished down the field behind Cruyff Turn at York last time; all four of his British turf successes have come on soft ground, and he may need plenty of rain to have any sort of chance.
