'Not the force of old but knocking loudly on the door in recent weeks; likely contender'

'4-5 since cheekpieces were added last month and might still be on the upgrade'

'Drew a blank last year and has been absent since December; others look more obvious'

'Won on consecutive days last month; on fairly tough mark now but still respected'

'Largely disappointing since last summer's win; makes stable debut after 168-day break'

'Below form last time but still on workable mark after narrow win two starts ago'

'Soft-ground winner in early June but not seen to same effect on good ground twice since'
