Only raised 1lb for November C&D win so latest seventh here was a little disappointing. No doubt however that he has the ability to go well here so rated a genuine contender once again.

Four-time course winner including four starts back over 6f. Second next over the same trip before disappointing.Only midfield latest upped to 7f and overall others now appear in better order.

Ran best race for some time here latest when beaten under 3L into fifth on first start since last summer. Gets 2lb back for that and should now strip fitter so genuine chance this time around.

Had a frustrating 2018 with 14 winless races although she placed on several occasions. Past winner on this surface so not inconvenienced by switch back from turf but entitled to come on for this after over four months off.

Showed some ability in three novice/maiden contests at Redcar without seriously threatening. Arrives for first handicap after a break and first time on AW so hard to be confident but similarly to rule him out.

Only won once since 2015 and that now over a year ago. Fair efforts the last twice at Wolverhampton finishing fifth in each. Gets 1lb back so place possibilities but surprising if anything more.

Six-time AW scorer managed just six runs in 2018 winning once. Off the track since August but gone well fresh in the past and altogether different proposition on AW so merits respect here.

10-race maiden beaten 3L into sixth here over C&D to start 2019. Gets further assistance from the handicapper and now getting close to a competitive mark so place claims here.

Well over two years since last win and AW record stands at 0-18. Unplaced in last nine starts and off since the summer. Easy to overlook.

In a difficult getting out stakes Irish raider YOUR PAL TAL gets the nod. He has shown that he can go well fresh in the past and is far better on AW than turf so this summer's form can largely be taken with a pinch of salt. Roaring Rory was a little disappointing latest after a C&D win but is still worthy of consideration here as is Leeshaan who made an encouraging return after a layoff.
