Form & Verdict

Just one win from first 14 starts but he doubled his tally when scoring in good style at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) ten days ago; has a penalty but he hit a personal best with that clearcut win and has shaped as though this trip should be within range; respected.

Form & Verdict

Went close off 3lb higher at Pontefract (1m4f) in September but he's not really kicked on from that in three runs since; may not have handled the heavy ground at Catterick last time and is still unexposed at this trip but others are more persuasive; first-time cheekpieces replace a visor.

Won three in a row (1m4f-2m) this autumn, including over C&D, but she's been vulnerable in last two runs; now returns to 2m on Tapeta but she's still 5lb higher than for last win and has work to do back up in grade.

Can front-run; scored off 1lb higher at Goodwood (2m, good to firm) in June but he's not hit the same level since and had a major blip at Chester in September; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he needs to bounce back near his best.

3yo who made it 3-8 on AW when surging 6l clear on his step up to 2m here (cheekpieces added) last month; up 7lb but that was a clear personal best last time and he's open to more progress at this trip; big player.

Form & Verdict

Won a 1m2f Chepstow maiden for Sir Michael Stoute last May; only four runs since then but he's run respectably in his three handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) this year and he shaped like a stayer on his recent stable debut at Kempton (fifth of 11); still has potential and he looks interesting at this new trip.

Form & Verdict

Resurgent 6yo who has won two of his last three starts including a game win in the mud at Catterick (2m) last time; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair enough but this is a big step back up in grade and his last two AW runs haven't been great.

Form & Verdict

First three wins came at 1m (including two at this track) but he coped well with the step up to 1m6f when scoring at Redcar last month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he flopped back here last time and was reported to have made a respiratory noise; bit to prove after that heavy defeat and others are preferred.
