Fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing fourth over 1600m at this track last time. One of the major hopes.

Hasn't won in 19 months. Finished sixth, beaten 13 lengths, last start over 2000m at Windsor. Prepared to risk.

Last appeared seven months ago when he finished 60 lengths from the winner in 12th over 2050m at Nottingham. Can run a good race despite the gap between runs.

Finally broke through for maiden win two starts back after 10 attempts. Followed that up with a ninth last start at Newcastle All Weather and will have to carry 60kg here. Will be tested here.

Has just two wins to his name but has been in the minor end of the prize a further six times from 27 starts. Last start finished fourth over 2000m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Among the chances on his best form.

Boasts a 100% top-three strike rate at this trip. Found one better at his latest appearance over 2000m at Windsor. Winning chance.

Lines up for the first time since October 6. Form at the end of last prep was not flash, the most recent effort a tenth over 1740m at Wolverhampton. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.

Moderate effort to finish fifth last time over 1700m at Nottingham when fresh from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Rates highly and should be in the mix.

Doesn't win out of turn but last start scored a rare win over 2000m at this track. Capable enough on his day and is one of the major players.
