Last appeared three months ago when he finished 6 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1200m at Newcastle All Weather. Will need this run.

Filled a minor placing first up this campaign then missed last time when sixth over 1000m at Musselburgh. Likely improver who should feature.

Has not raced since scoring over 1200m at Goodwood on September 24. Did win first-up last prep at Southwell All Weather over 1220m. Likely to play a major role.

Followed a fourth at Dundalk All Weather two runs ago with a win last start over 1207m at Dundalk All Weather, finishing half a length ahead of his rivals. Sure to get all the favours from barrier one.

Last appeared seven months ago when he won over 1200m at Lingfield All Weather. Managed to fill a minor placing first-up last prep at Lingfield All Weather over 1200m. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Returned from a layoff last start and was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Catterick. Rates highly and should do much better.

Has been out of sorts including last time when 8 lengths away in eighth over 1200m at Catterick. Must improve sharply.

Returns after a spell of eight months. Form at the end of last prep was not flash, the most recent effort a 13th over 1200m at Ayr. Others make more appeal.

Four-year-old gelding who races well over this distance. Saluted last time out by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Southwell All Weather. Best form stacks up nicely. Big chance.

Returned from a spell with fair effort last start when fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at Wolverhampton over 1200m. Faces tough task.

Finished second two back then could only manage seventh last time over 1400m at Musselburgh, beaten 5.5 lengths. Needs to find a few lengths to threaten these.

Returns from an absence of seven months. Was thereabouts at the last two runs before the break, most recently finishing fourth over 1000m at Leicester. Good fresh performer. Goes well when fresh. Expecting a strong start to the campaign.

Handy gelding who finished fourth last start but was beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1000m at Nottingham. Rates highly and should be prominent.

Consistent gelding but hasn’t won for a while. Put the writing on the wall last time over 1200m at Lingfield All Weather when second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Bold showing expected.

Resumes from a break of six-and-a-half months. Finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 1200m at Catterick. See how he returns.

Was beaten just a neck when second at his latest appearance at Pontefract over 1200m. Will take plenty of beating.
