Won at Ripon in June, capitalising on a falling turf mark, before third of 10 at Salisbury 2 days ago. Better on all-weather and has won over C&D in the past so not without hope.

Only win came last June and has been placed twice in 5 runs since. Third of 9 in a higher grade of handicap at Musselburgh in June when last seen was a respectable showing but now starts out for a thriving yard so immediately demands some respect.

Won at Wolverhampton in June and second at Ripon later that month but only sixth of 7 at Nottingham 23 days ago on final outing for Kevin Frost. Returns to all-weather with tongue strap and cheekpieces removed for stable debut.

Not won since 2024 but shaped well when fourth of 12 at Newcastle 31 days ago over 5f, finding things happening a bit too quickly but finishing well. Only recently slipped to this level and will relish the return to 6f so looks sure to play a leading role.

Encountered traffic problems in recent handicaps, including when twelfth of 21 at York in June after being caught on the wrong flank. Tumbling down the weights and has previous place form at this track to his name so not without hope if getting more luck.

Two creditable efforts when runner-up this year, including at Nottingham in June, but he's building up a lengthy losing run in handicaps and now switches back to all-weather.

Respectable eighth of 19 at York in a handicap 16 days ago but his strike rate on all-weather is more positive than on turf. Back below last winning mark and can make an impact in this grade and returned to this surface.

Career-best effort when successful at Hamilton in June, making it 3 wins from his last 3 visits to that venue. Made the frame over this C&D on last 2 outings at this track but 5 lb rise in the weights demands more.

Shaped quite well when fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton 10 days ago on first run for new trainer in first-time eyeshields. Typically took a strong hold that day and definitely has quirks but he's coming down to a handy mark now so needs a look in the betting.

Won over 7f at Lingfield in February and recently returned to form when second of 12 at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Largely consistent at this level and holds place claims.

Twice a winner over C&D, including this race last year, but has never been the best from the stalls and blew the start badly at Wolverhampton 10 days ago. Claims if breaking on terms.

Below form at Wolverhampton last time but last 2 efforts at this track have been good, winning here in April and then runner-up in July. Could bounce back returned to this track and dropped back in trip.

Won on all-weather at Newcastle in March and continues in good heart, finishing third of 8 at Carlisle 18 days ago. Returns to all-weather for first time since last win and could take a hand.

Won at Chester (first start since leaving Ivan Furtado) 45 days ago. Took fairly well to sprinting when fourth of 5 in a handicap at Hamilton 16 days ago and well worth another chance at this trip, though this looks deeper.
