Gained a breakthrough success over this C&D in October last year. Has made the frame 3 times this season and did well from a poor draw when fifth of 21 at York (5.5f) 13 days ago. One to be interested in back here.

After 3 months off, bounced back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f) in August. Ran creditably after a slow start when fourth of 9 at the same course (5f) 12 days ago, so he could be in the mix from what remains a workable mark.

Arrives in top form, making it 2 wins from his last 4 starts when scoring from the front at Lingfield 23 days ago. Can make another bold bid in his current mood.

Enthusiastic sort who completed a hat-trick last summer and repeated the feat with success in 6-runner handicap at Thirsk last month. Wasn't discredited in his bid for the 4-timer when 2¼ lengths sixth of 13 over this C&D on latest outing.

Added to his tally at Southwell (6f) in January and ran well when second next 2 outings, including at this course. Respectable efforts over 5f on turf the last twice, third of 11 at Hamilton 7 weeks ago, and he could go well back on all-weather following a breathing operation.

3-time winner in 2025 but struggled for form to start the current campaign. However, having slipped in the weights he has made the frame last 3 starts, over this C&D last month and at Doncaster 6 days ago. Now switches to a visor.

Successful twice at Ripon last summer and made an encouraging return when third in handicap at Pontefract in June. Hasn't gone on from that effort since, though, tried in tongue strap when down the field at Ripon (6f) last time. Makes all-weather debut.

Successful twice this summer, with latest win at Pontefract in August. Has run poorly the last twice, though, well-beaten sixth of 12 at Beverley 20 days ago.

Without a win so far this year but placed on 3 occasions, the latest when runner-up at Redcar in June. Had excuses when well held at Haydock 15 days ago, denied a clear run, so he's not ruled out from below his last winning mark.
