Not disgraced when seventh two starts back but finished well off the pace last start over 1600m at this track when eighth, beaten 8 lengths. Better than that last run suggests.

Has failed to fill a placing at his last few runs, the latest when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 2400m at Wolverhampton. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Has just two wins to her name but has been in the minor end of the prize a further five times from 39 starts. Better effort last time when fourth over 1700m at Wolverhampton. Looks tested in this line-up.

Last appeared four-and-a-half months ago when he finished 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 2000m at Redcar. Likely to play a major role.

Hasn't raced since finishing sixth over 2200m at Southwell All Weather five months ago. Can run a bold race.

Good effort last time when he finished just 1.3 lengths away in fourth over 1900m at Wolverhampton. Rates highly and cannot be underestimated.

Ran below his best two starts back but hit form again last time when second, beaten a nose, over 1900m at Wolverhampton. Should go well again.

Returned from a layoff last start and was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1900m at Wolverhampton. Rates highly and expected to improve sharply.

Has had one run back from a break and was well held in seventh over 1600m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

In the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 1600m at this track last time. Strong contender on best form.

Offered little last start when friendless in betting over 1200m at Southwell All Weather. Not among the chances.

Has not raced since finishing 11 lengths away in tenth over 1400m at Redcar on October 17. Don't underestimate.
