Back from a break after closing last prep with a disappointing sixth over 2400m at Ascot on July 26. Yet to miss the top three when fresh from a spell and is among the leading hopes.

Last appeared seven months ago when he finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1700m at Epsom Downs. Did win first-up last prep at Epsom Downs over 1700m. Could prove too smart for these.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished seventh over 1700m at Wolverhampton on March 24. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Last appeared six-and-a-half months ago when he finished 45 lengths from the winner in 14th over 2100m at York. Faces a tough essay.

Often in the money but finds it hard to win. Last raced four-and-a-half months ago when he finished fifth over 2400m at Southwell All Weather, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has to be carefully considered.

Has not raced since finishing 39 lengths away in seventh over 2000m at Pontefract on September 26. Expect a bold showing.

Hasn't won in 19 months. Finished second, beaten half a length, last start over 2000m at Newbury. Better placed and expected to go well.

Returned from a spell last start with a solid third, beaten 3.5 lengths, at Wolverhampton over 1900m. Fitter and worth following up.

Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished ninth over 1600m at Pontefract on April 14. Better off looking to others.

Has been out of the money of late including last time out when eighth over 2000m at Redcar two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths. Likely to find this out of reach.

Stepping out at this track for the first time. Last appeared when he finished third over 2000m at Doncaster on March 29. Not far away last start. Big chance.
