'Surged back to form when making all at Kempton; this is more competitive and he's up 4lb'

'Soft ground a plausible excuse last time; each-way claims if the ground dries out'

'As good as ever of late, winning at Haydock and York; hat-trick looks very possible'

'Arrives in top form (met trouble last time); big player if getting the breaks'

'Last year's winner off an 8lb higher mark but recent efforts have been subdued'

'Hard to predict; only sixth of 12 at Ripon last time; others appeal a bit more'

'Not beaten far at Yarmouth last time; this looks stronger but he can't be ruled out'

'Nine-time winner; just a respectable fourth here latest start; drying ground would suit'

'C&D winner; well beaten this year; hopes rest on a breathing operation'

'Made all over C&D last summer but unplaced five times since'

'Defied similar marks twice last year but has looked out of sorts this season'
