Form & Verdict

7f on soft/heavy is ideal and he won under those conditions at Ayr in July and York in October, awarded the second race after being hampered and narrowly beaten; up just 3lb and another big run is on the cards.

Made a winning debut for this yard on soft ground at Ayr (7f) in July but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; York last time was particularly disappointing; could still bounce back.

Form & Verdict

Old-timer who retains plenty of verve and has made the frame at Musselburgh and Ayr (7f. heavy) on his last two outings; however, he's an infrequent scorer these days and others appeal more for the win.

11yo who returned to form when third off this mark at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft ground; patchy profile this year and he likes Musselburgh, but he's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict

Mostly in good form this year and her three wins include one over 1m here on soft ground; probably did too much in front (clear over 2f out) when only sixth of ten at Chester last time and remains in form; shortlisted.

Yet to win on grass (3-15 on AW) but he looks well handicapped and was far from disgraced under an inexperienced claimer at Chester (extended 7f, heavy) four weeks ago; Joanna Mason gets on well with him and returns to the saddle today; might be the answer.
