Comment: Had a long absence prior to his reappearance in January; there were some near misses along the way before he finally put his head back in front at Yarmouth 25 days ago, digging deep in a small-field affair (6f, good to firm); 4lb rise asks more of him but he might not have to work too hard to get the lead.

Comment: All wins over further; two good AW runs when dropped back to 6f in the spring; some of his subsequent lesser efforts came when the yard were quiet and he may have needed his return from a break at Lingfield ten days ago; other still bring more pressing claims.

Comment: Attractive profile since joining this yard, running with credit all seven starts including wins in two of his last three; up 3lb for scoring at Carlisle (1m1f, good) 17 days ago but the grinding progression makes appeal.

Comment: Progressive last year, winning twice, including an amateur riders' race at Ascot just over a year ago; off for 333 days before bidding to repeat that success (1m, soft) but was beaten 22l; not unreasonable to assume he may have needed it despite the 3-1 starting price; possibilities.

Comment: Won 6f handicap here (soft) for William Haggas just under a year ago; didn't kick on for that yard but it was an encouraging stable debut when favourite and third of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) in July; same mark and shapes like he's worth another go at 1m.

Comment: Front-runner who won at Hamilton (1m, good) in May and Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June; not matched that since but has been building back up and was beaten just a neck at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time; well drawn to attack.

Comment: Useful in Ireland; nothing to shout about in four starts for this yard but was 15-2 from 22-1 on his penultimate start and 6-1 from 14s last time; something has evidently been expected so interesting to see how he goes in the market this time.

Comment: Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood.
