'Progressive front-runner; will need a career-best off this mark on his comeback'

'Race didn't pan out his way in a small field at Kempton a month ago and he's respected'

'Three-time course winner (4-11 on Tapeta); be happier back at 7f; arrives in good form'

'Won this last year off a 6lb lower mark and should do better back round here'

'Back in form last time in a race not run to suit; will be happier back into a bigger field'

'Useful 2yo who proved difficult to place last season; would want to see some support'

'Looked to have no excuses when backed into favourite for a lesser handicap when last seen'

'Ex-Irish; has been gelded and doesn't appeal as particularly well treated for his new yard'

'Sharp improvement in recent times but he'll need another career-best to take this'

'Undergone wind surgery and, although Tom Eaves rides, Ron O looks his trainer's best shot'

'Lost the plot during last year and, while he's gone well fresh, he has it to prove'

'Won his maiden over C&D but has a very long absence to overcome in a competitive race'
