Dual C&D winner who came from off the pace to finish a close third here (5f, good to firm) last Monday; on same mark on this return visit and he's respected for in-form yard.

Just one win from 25 starts but he's been knocking on the door at Thirsk and Lingfield (both 5f on good) in his last two runs; up another 2lb but he pulled clear with the winner last time and should make another bold bid.

Front-runner who was only caught in the final strides on his Chepstow reappearance (5f, good to soft) in June; remains feasibly treated off 2lb higher but he could have competition for the lead this time and his best form has been on slow ground; hood added.

Finished fourth in the Dash on Derby day last June off a 34lb higher mark; has struggled this year but he attracted support at Nottingham (100-30 favourite) last time and he has too much ability to discount at this level; not ruled out on first run since rejoining Mike Murphy.

Both wins were in 2022 but she's run some good races this year and was best of the rest behind an easy winner at Bath (5.7f classified) last time; should get a strong pace back at this trip and she could be dangerous back in a handicap.
