'Looks an improved performer this year and should be arriving on the scene late'

'Good second at York last month but only midfield in the Dash last time'

'Progressive at 3 and his return to action at Doncaster was promising; not fully exposed'

'Settling a bit better this year and turn of foot at Goodwood latest was impressive; solid'

'Finished well to win over C&D last month but held by two of these last time; headgear now'

'Ran fair bit better than the result suggests at Chester last month; capable of better'

'Four solid runs in handicaps of late and no obvious reason why he won't go well once again'

'Well treated and penultimate York run was hugely promising; change of headgear today'

'Enhanced his fine Pontefract record on last month's return; 3lb rise in a tougher race now'

'Back to form with front-running Doncaster win 15 days ago; more required this time'

'Rare blip last time and type to bounce back quickly; sharp 5f looks a worry though'

'Both handicap runs this year have been solid; this is weaker; likely to go well'

'Plummeting down the weights but with good reason; this a tough race in which to revive'

'Enjoying a good year but he's up in class today and it may prove beyond him'

'Better than ever when close 3rd at Chester last month; less good latest; rider's claim a +'

'C&D winner on a good mark; sharper for last week's return; lively outsider'
