'Second at Leicester latest, albeit beaten 11l (1m4f, soft); down 2lb but others likelier'

'Consistent over 1m3f-1m4f of late; denied on the post over this C&D last week'

'Near-2l second to a next-time winner at Leicester latest; player back down in grade'

'1l second in this last year; close to defying current mark the last twice; among likeliest'

'Weak finisher on most handicap starts (1m2f-1m3.5f) so far; visor replaces cheekpieces'

'Likely better at 1m4f than he's been able to show in two attempts so far; eased 2lb more'

'Useful swing with Valley Of Flowers on June's Beverley form; easier 1m4f a likely plus'

'Sole C&D winner in the line-up (this race last year off 1lb lower) and shortlisted again'

'Perfectly consistent but 0-15 overall; held by two reopposing rivals over C&D last week'

'Back to form 2l third latest, albeit in a slowly run 1m2f; another new trip tonight'

'Remains on career-high mark, and doubt this sharper track will suit him as well as some'

'Trail has gone colder again since close third at Beverley in June; 1lb out of the weights'

'Unimproved by return to front-running; drop of 3lb and 4f not enough to persuade'

'0-4 in turf Flat contests, albeit all of them tougher assignments than this evening's'

'Offered little on last week's return (1m1f); this 3f longer trip asks a new question'
