Hasn't been beaten all that far in recent runs, the latest offering a third over 2400m at Beverley three-and-a-half weeks ago. One of the prime contenders.

Stepping up in trip after finishing fourth over 2400m at this track last time out. Can improve on the latest effort and is expected to be in the finish.

Has been out of the winners' list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at Dundalk All Weather over 2112m. Has ability and gets his chance to find some form.

Is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Last appeared at the races when she pulled up at Fakenham. Prefer to see her go around again before recommending.

Beaten 2.75 lengths into second at Southwell All Weather two starts ago then appeared at Southwell All Weather last time and finished 9 lengths from the winner in seventh. Can do much better this time.

Last appeared a year ago when he finished 59 lengths from the winner in tenth over 3300m at Aintree. Cannot enthuse.

Wasn't expected to do much when fresh from a spell last start at Bath over 1600m and wound up in sixth, beaten 25 lengths. Looks tested on the first up effort.
