Has won three times on the Flat, but is better known as a chaser these days. This looks a prep race for another campaign over fences.
Back-to-back wins at Windsor and Haydock before finishing a fair fourth in a better race than this back at the former track last time. Has a leading amateur jockey on board and looks a major player.
Likes to race prominently and adopted those tactics when winning at Bath three starts ago. His career record suggests he would be much happier on a sounder surface so others are preferred.
Latest outing saw him win narrowly on the AW at Kempton. Has been raised 3lb, which is fair, but although he has been runner-up three times on turf, he has never won on it.
Returned from five months off to finish an encouraging fourth of eight at Pontefract. Has form on soft and has been dropped 1lb, so he is one of the more likely sorts.
Quite a long time since he won on the Flat and he is not getting any younger. Signs of life in a Stratford handicap hurdle last week, however, so not totally ruled out.
Well-bred filly who is still looking for her first win after six attempts. Has been placed fives times, including when second at Ffos Las on her latest outing, and the cheekpieces she wore for the first time that day are retained.
Only hints of ability in eight runs without a win and starts out for his new trainer. Well-beaten last of three last time and needs to find significant improvement.
Two wins in 13 Flat races on turf and ran well on the AW at Lingfield last time. Both wins came on a sound surface so has questions to answer on this surface.
Has won his last two starts at Carlisle and Musselburgh and has been running creditably over hurdles, too. Drops significantly in trip and may find this too sharp.
Forecasts
Tawseef (5/2), Take Two (3/1), Walsingham Grange (7/2), Bybrook (5/1), Pastoral Music (12/1), Mister Fizz (14/1), Archangel Raphael (25/1), Togetherness (33/1), Glens Wobbly (40/1), Tindaro (50/1)
Quite an open finale, but jockeyship counts for a good deal in these races and the in-form TAKE TWO will not lack assistance from the saddle. He can get the better of consistent maiden Bybrook and Walsingham Grange. Tawseef is in good form, but may find this trip too sharp.
