'Denied by an unexposed rival at Wolverhampton last time; chance if as effective here.'

'Best run of the year when second here in June; steps back up in trip and should run well.'

'Got off the mark at the 22nd attempt at Southwell in April; may find this too sharp.'

'Respectable efforts when fifth at Epsom and Windsor last month and cannot rule out.'

'0-18 under rules but showed improved form when third of eight at Yarmouth last Monday.'

'Got off the mark at the 21st attempt at Leicester last month.'

'Second in a seller on the turf track here last month, he has more on his plate here.'

'Can be forgiven his run last time when blowing the start at Nottingham.'

'0-16 on the Flat; won over hurdles in June; unlikely to be seen to advantage here.'

'Sole success came over C&D last August off today's mark; raced too freely last time.'

'Ran his best race for some time when fourth of 12 at Kempton in June.'

'Yet to be placed from five starts and not progressing.'
