'Mixed form on AW this year but good fifth in this last season and not discounted'

'Went close in March but needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice'

'Feasibly treated on last year's form but needs to improve a bundle for recent reappearance'

'On a reduced mark and didn't run badly on second stable start, but needs something extra'

'Won at Southwell last month and that form has been franked by the runner-up Eldrickjones'

'On a reduced mark but on a long losing run and this drop back in trip poses a question'

'Hold-up horse who won this last year and is just 2lb higher today; player'

'Well beaten on last three starts but perhaps a change of stables will reignite some spark'

'On 15-race losing sequence but effective over C&D and ended last season in good form'

'Last year ended in disappointing fashion but his reappearance record catches the eye'

'Hard to win with nowadays but often runs well and holds each-way claims'

'Close third in this last year and encouraging run at Newcastle recently; on the shortlist'

'Well treated but below par on final four runs for the Crisfords & same story on yard debut'

'Encouraging start for this yard last December but not at the same level this year'

'His mark continues to fall but he was well beaten on reappearance and others are preferred'

'The first-time hood could help him settle better; lightly raced and capable of a bold bid'

'Soft-ground win at Catterick on reappearance; well treated back up just 3lb; not ruled out'

'Won with something to spare at Newcastle on Sunday and a 5lb penalty may not stop him'

'Three AW wins earlier this year but progress has stalled on last three starts'

'Lightly raced; two wins last summer; new trainer does well with recruits from other yards'
