'Habitual slow starter; won't be able to give today's rivals too much of a headstart'

'Veteran who saves his best for this track; recent fourth needs bettering though'

'Course winner; threatening on turf in recent starts; rider's claim handy; e/w shout again'

'Generally running well this summer but this is a stronger race than she's accustomed to'

'Having a good summer and a 2lb rise for latest Chepstow win is manageable; considered'

'On long losing run and this looks a competitive event in which to try and end the drought'

'New yard have coaxed him back to form; latest C&D 2nd was a fine run; still well treated'

'Good record at Bath and she's been running okay since a Ffos Las win in June; good chance'

'Multiple course winner; ran well when second over 5f here 11 days ago; this is deeper'

'Two turf wins this summer and ran well last time; this perhaps too competitive though'

'5f course win in June; not so good in three runs since; others stronger for the win'

'Thirsk winner in July; not run badly the last twice but looks vulnerable in this field'

'His C&D second in July came in a much weaker race; opposable from 3lb wrong'

'3lb lower than for May's Nottingham win; that's a result of modest efforts since though'

'C&D win last month was followed by close 2nd at Salisbury; drawn wide & top weight to defy'

'Perked up by blinkers this summer, winning 2 of her last 4; still feasibly weighted'
