3-time winner for Ian Williams and, making third start for current yard, took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring under this rider at Wolverhampton in May. Remains well treated on old form and could be capable of following up.

Placed 3 times on all-weather early in the year before scoring over hurdles in April. Respectable efforts on the Flat since, 2½ lengths third of 4 at Newmarket in June, and has now dropped below his last winning mark in this sphere.

Losing run is mounting up but placed on first 3 starts this season, at this course (1¼m) on first 2 occasions. Met interference when down the field here 2 weeks ago, so no surprise to see a better showing back up in trip.

Losing sequence is mounting up (30) and merely ticking over at present, fifth of 9 at Carlisle (1m) last month. Hiked back up in trip but easy enough to look elsewhere for win purposes.

Switched to amateur races, made more impact than previously for current yard when making the frame both starts in February. Possibly needed the run when down the field at Epsom 18 days ago, so he could be in the mix with tongue strap refitted.

Long-standing maiden who, after 3 months off, was helped by how the race developed when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (1¼m) in June, making late headway. 4 lb out of the weights here.

Yet to win in handicaps but runner-up on all-weather 3 times this year. Disappointed from his lower turf mark when second of 3 at Newmarket (1¼m) in June, though wasn't ideally placed when fifth of 7 at Wolverhampton (1½m) 3 days ago. Needs to prove himself over this far.
