Handles any ground and posted a third win of the year and a career best at Ripon in June. Matched that level when third in a decent time at Haydock last time and a leading contender again.

Hasn't added to two juvenile wins and below par on his last three runs. Down 3lb but may need further relief from the handicapper before he's back to winning ways.

Ran right up to his best at Wolverhampton in February but has only managed to beat one rival home in four poor runs on turf since. Remains best watched until signs of a revival.

Winner of a 5f novice race at Chelmsford in August last year. Well below that in three runs since and needs wind surgery to bring a major turnaround in fortunes. Others preferred.

Twice a winner on the AW in January and back on the same mark as the last of them. Ran on well for third in a fast run race over 5.5f here last time and a likely contender once again.

Sole win came on soft ground and seems to be at his best with a bit of give. Hasn't been seeing out his races of late so the drop back to sprinting makes sense but more is needed.

Made all in a winning AW debut at Wolverhampton last time and now upped in grade and 6lb penalty to overcome. The drop in trip seemed the key and he was suited by quick ground on his previous run. Should be competitive again.

Now 2lb lower than his last win but that came in class 6 and he was inconsistent in four starts since for his previous trainer. Faces a tough test on stable debut.

Golden Parade is unlikely to get his own way up front but he is open to further improvement at this distance. MARK'S CHOICE has been putting up some good times in defeat since his back-to-back wins and is likely to get another fast pace to aim at. Coolagh Magic is an obvious danger and should relish the extra half furlong following a good effort here last time.
