Returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed the last campaign in lukewarm fashion, with a eighth over 2060m at York the latest offering. Might need a run or two.

Hasn't won in 23 months. Finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, last start over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather. Better placed and expected to measure up.

Game effort last start when he finished a close second at Chelmsford over 1400m. Winning chance.

Well held at both runs this time in, most recently when beaten 8 lengths into ninth over 1600m at Newcastle All Weather. Can't recommend on that form, looking to others.

Consistent type who last start finished third over this journey at Chelmsford. Boasts two wins and seven minor placings from 12 starts. Looks very tough to beat again.

Has not raced since finishing fifth over 1400m at this track on October 25. Can play a major role.

Has not raced since finishing 1.75 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Great Yarmouth on October 21. Did finish in the money first-up last prep at Beverley over 1500m. Expect a forward showing.

Returns to racing after a five months break. Last appeared when she finished seventh over 1600m at Newmarket (Rowley). Looks a genuine contender.

Has not raced since finishing a neck away in second over 1400m at Chester on September 12. Can return in winning form.

Last appeared five months ago when he finished 17 lengths from the winner in 14th over 1400m at this track. Should run well.

Resuming from a spell here. Form at the back end of last preparation was not the best and he is unplaced from five first up efforts. Others more appealing today.

Resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming four wins from seven runs. Can return with a bold run.

Fresh from a spell of five months. Yet to miss a minor placing in two first-up runs. Among the hopes.

Hasn't raced since finishing eighth over 1400m at this track five months ago. Not keen.

Was 18 lengths from the winner in 11th when returning from a break last start over 1400m at Southwell All Weather. Has won second up before but looks tested in this line-up.
