'The first-time visor prompted a return to form when second at Ayr; this is tougher'

'Lost his way last year and there are no clear signs that he's about to turn things around'

'He travelled best before finishing the job off at Wetherby (2m3f, soft)'

'Latest run wasn't his best but previous third in a strong race here gives him good chance'

'Doesn't have a lot in hand off his mark by the looks (up 1lb) but he should be competitive'

'Had a good winter over hurdles and a competitive recent show on the AW bodes well'

'Could run well if back on song, for all that he might now be too high in the weights'

'Last two wins at Hexham and may need that stiffer stamina test these days'

'Simply never gave his running here two months ago and he's well handicapped'

'Essentially progressive; up 7lb for last time but that was fairly easy'

'6lb rise for his win on New Year's Day sees him on career-high mark but possibilities'

'This season hasn't really got going and blinkers are now turned to'

'Previous winner of this but off since October when running a quiet race at Kelso'
