'Winless since 2022; had wind op and he goes well fresh so not discounted'

'Good start for new yard with Thirsk 3rd 15 days ago; can go well again with cheekpieces on'

'C&D scorer latest; up 3lb but he goes well on soft ground so must enter calculations'

'Encouraging second at Thirsk latest, doing best of pace setters; not taken lightly'

'Goes well on soft ground and his last three victories have come over C&D; in the picture'

'Ended last term under a cloud; has gone well off a break though so no forlorn hope'

'4-time C&D winner; not discredited here on return so veteran is one for the shortlist'

'A fair 7f winner at his best but he has yet to fire in two Newcastle handicaps this term'

'Beat only one on his reappearance at Newcastle; no surprise if he bounced back though'

'Not disgraced after 5 months off when fifth at Newcastle last month; she can build on it'

'A four-time C&D scorer; good third here latest so he merits serious consideration'

'Best run for current yard when fourth at Newcastle last month; he needs to build on it'
