'Knocking at the door of late yet still without a victory after 16 tries.'

'Very consistent in his last ten runs; 6lb rise for recent narrow win makes things tricky.'

'Improved effort last time off 2lb higher; may be about to hit form after six sighters.'

'Kept going well late in four good recent 6f runs; step up to 7f could be what he needs.'

'Unfancied and finished ninth (stumbled early) in recent 6f debut; big improvement needed.'

'Back to the C&D of promising 1.5l fourth five weeks ago; unexposed; cheekpieces applied.'

'Has not showed anything like his best for some time; best watched until signs of revival.'

'Treble C&D scorer, all from lower handicap ratings, but last three runs below par.'

'Nicely bred debutant but has a wide draw and his trial race form is moderate.'

'Has beaten a grand total of two rivals in his three local starts to date; hood applied.'

'His 3 C&D wins have come off higher marks; better run latest after some modest efforts.'

'Improved effort in blinkers last time; could make a bold bid from the front.'

'Probably prefers 1m and returned from a break with a dismal effort 16 days ago.'

'Newcomer; last of 11 and fourth of seven in his two trials; hard to fancy.'
