Has been below his best for a long time and is now without a win in 408 days. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1600m at Redcar a week-and-a-half ago. Needs a major form reversal.

Has looked good in his two career starts, most recently scoring by half a length over 1200m at Southwell All Weather. Sure to measure up here.

Gelding by Al Kazeem at the races for the first time. The betting is the best pointer to his chances.

Gelding by Mohaather out of Rayaheen on debut. Must be kept safe.

Was in the market on debut and did a reasonable job to finish 6 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Thirsk on April 18. Progressive type who should prove hard to beat.

Progressive gelding resuming today after two runs in his maiden campaign, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at Sandown Park on August 29. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.

Well held on debut over 1400m at Leicester five weeks ago. Doubt he will play a big role.

Lines up for the first time since August 2. Closed the last campaign in lukewarm fashion, with a fourth over 1200m at Hamilton Park the latest offering. Might need a run or two.

Did nothing on debut when beaten 18 lengths into ninth over 1400m at Newcastle All Weather. Doubt he will trouble these.

Nice return last start when runner-up at Doncaster over 1400m on April 25. Hard to beat.

Back from a spell of six months. Last raced when beaten 16 lengths into 11th over 1600m at Newcastle All Weather. Will improve on what she does here.
