Stepping out at this course for the first time. Last appeared when he finished third over 1700m at Beverley on August 30. Leading player.

Has been about the mark of late including a last start third over 1400m at Southwell All Weather. Has ability and is one of the major players.

Has been out of the money recently including last time out when fifth over 1600m at Ripon three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strong contender on his best form.

Was safely held when resuming over 2000m at Ayr, finishing eighth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Is a second up winner in the past and should improve with the run under his belt.

Has been in work for quite a while. Came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1600m at Redcar. Makes appeal.

Has just two wins to her name but has been in the minor end of the prize a further five times from 21 starts. Last start finished ninth over 1400m at Thirsk, beaten 6 lengths. Looks tested in this line-up.

Was beaten just a neck when second at his latest appearance at Beverley over 1700m. Leading prospect.

The first up run was just average, finishing sixth and beaten 22 lengths over 1600m at Ascot. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Expect a better outcome this time.

Had been close to the mark before breaking through last time over today's journey at Carlisle. Confidence high and is a leading player again.

Won two times earlier on in his prep, most recently finished sixth beaten 3.5 lengths at Windsor over 1630m. Can overlook.

Not firing at all recently, the latest effort a 6 length fifth over 1400m at Ascot on September 5. Fully tested in this line up.
