In frame 3 of 5 starts this year, most recently coming fourth of 11 in a handicap at Redcar 22 days ago. Back below his last winning mark but this is a rise in grade and he often starts very slowly.

Went close 3 times in succession in July and August, twice finishing second over C&D. Form has tailed off last 2 starts but the return to this venue and likely strong pace should be right up his street so this previous course winner needs considering.

Came good on good to soft going around this time last year when winning at Nottingham from 6 lb higher mark in October. Not won since but stable has struggled until the last few weeks and he ran well when second of 11 at Southwell 17 days ago so he's one to be interested in now.

Won at Windsor in May but hasn't fired since, though didn't get a clear run when down field at Windsor last time and is capable of better with luck in running. Good-value apprentice takes the ride.

Won at Redcar in July and ran well when second at Newmarket in August, but only 12th of 13 in a handicap there 22 days ago. Returns to Doncaster where he has won before so could go well if bouncing straight back to form.

Won this race from 3 lb lower mark last year but came into that contest in better form than he does this time around. Hasn't kicked on since scoring at Lingfield in June this year. Hopes pinned on a return to this venue.

Front runner who won back-to-back handicaps in August, first over C&D then at Beverley over 5f 31 days ago. Up a further 5 lb here in pursuit of the hat-trick but it remains to be seen if he's able to dominate matters in this bigger field.

Found form over this trip in August, winning at Hamilton then creditable third of 10 under penalty at the same track 23 days ago. Has the same rider aboard here and, though she often misses the break, the pace looks sure to be strong and she'll be finishing well so looks a player.

Took advantage of drop in grade when scoring at Southwell in August then ran well when second at Hamilton 23 days ago despite a 5lb rise. Shaped as if still in good form when making the frame at former track on latest start and won from a 7 lb higher mark last year so is one to take seriously.

Won over C&D in July but found things a lot tougher when 12th of 13 in a much better handicap over 7f at Goodwood in August from 6 lb out of the weights. Inexperienced apprentice now takes over.

Not the easiest to predict but handicapper is being quick to relent and she's 6 lb lower than when a good second at Musselburgh in June. Struggled to make any impact last 2 starts, though, so has well-being to prove.

Won in October but yet to fire this season and hard to fancy despite tumbling mark. Visor replaces blinkers here.

Won at York in June and, though inconsistent since, she can have latest run ignored when badly hampered at Redcar and she's capable of playing a part if on a "going" day.

Often front runs and produced clear best effort this year when second of 14 at York over 6f in June. Has disappointed since, including when third of 4 in a handicap at Leicester 35 days ago so hard to be too confident about.

Turned in best effort of the season when fourth of 10 in a handicap at Windsor in June but was only ninth of 13 in a handicap at Newmarket in July. Returns from 66 days off on the back of a breathing operation and takes on older horses for the first time.

C&D winner who won well at Carlisle from a tumbling mark in August but never went with any fluency when third of 6 at Ffos Las under a penalty 10 days later. Back up in grade here but looked potentially useful in the past so not without a chance if on a "going" day.
