'Not disgraced in Ayr Gold Cup; may still have more to give on favoured soft surface'
'Consistent; narrow winner at Ripon; big player again provided high draw is not a problem'
'In the form of his life; fine second at Doncaster latest; 3lb rise looks fully justified'
'Ayr Gold Cup defeat came on quick ground; conditions should be more in his favour here'
'In and out this season and well held at Haydock last time; others appeal more'
'On a long losing run but has turned in several good efforts this year; each-way hopes'
'Faded in valuable 7f event at Ascot last week; could be suited by this drop to sprinting'
'Thriving at present; 5lb rise looks manageable for latest C&D win; another to consider'
'0-11 this year but has run several good races; impossible to dismiss'
'Got up late on at Chester; nudged up 2lb and will need another personal best'
'Consistent over 5f; unplaced on two previous attempts at 6f and stamina could be an issue'
'In and out this year but impressive when scoring over C&D in May; not ruled out'
'11 wins in total but 3lb higher than for latest one and this is a more competitive event'
'Came from near last to first when scoring at Haydock; conditions similar but he's up 5lb'
'Will need personal best after a break but he's lightly raced and that's not impossible'
'Down the field in Portland at Doncaster; unraced on softer than good; enough to prove'
'Hasn't built on second in Greenham at Newbury; might have benefited from recent gelding op'
'Wokingham third gives him strong claims but two runs since have been very poor'
'Won on AW during the winter and has hit the crossbar several times since; in the mix again'
'C&D winner with possible excuses for two unplaced efforts this year; not discounted'
'Fine veteran, although not the force of old; tumbling in weights but probably vulnerable'
