'C&D win then two good efforts before only seventh over 7f; return to this trip is a plus.'

'Back to form when 1.25l fourth off this mark last time; likely to try to make all.'

'Three times a winner off higher marks but lacks much recent form to recommend him.'

'Followed first win with short-head defeat (both this C&D); solid claims off 2lb higher.'

'Winner of his last two, by a neck and 0.5l (both over C&D); up another 7lb so more needed.'

'Bidding to take his record to three-from-three; 9lb rise may not be enough to stop him.'

'Unfancied and never got competitive after a slow start when ninth on last month's debut.'

'Very consistent; latest run was slightly below par; looks a bit high in the handicap.'

'Useful in South Africa; has not sparkled in either local run (not clear run on debut).'

'Far from disgraced in fourth and fifth the last twice (both 6f); only win was over 7f.'

'Better at Happy Valley and two most recent displays have been slightly disappointing.'

'Usually run his race but looks to have his fair share of weight (only win off 5lb lower).'
