Selected odds by:
Enjoyed great 2019, winning five times (4 of those victories coming at Chepstow) but below best on AW final start and well held on return at Windsor in June. Others appeal more.
Not won for some time and well held on the back of 7 months off at Haydock (6f, heavy) in July. However, has since made an interesting yard switch and the handicapper has afforded him a chance.
Back to winning ways from 3 lb higher mark at Ffos Las (6f) last summer but disappointing all 4 starts since, well beaten both starts this summer.
Winless since landing the Great St Wilfrid back in 2018 but handicap mark reflects that now and not disgraced in recent starts, including in this year's renewal. Still, others preferred.
Dual 7f winner in 2019 (including here) and he arrives having run with credit on each of his last 4 starts. This a rare drop back to 6f nowadays but he holds each-way claims.
Profile is a positive one and she was impressive in making a winning handicap debut at Kempton (6f) last month, keeping on well. 7 lb higher mark ought not prevent another bold showing.
Made a pleasing return at Newmarket before seeming amiss over C&D later in June. Showed nothing at Newbury (7f) subsequently and he now has something to prove.
Confirmed more positive signs when back to winning ways at Newcastle (6f) in January. Mixed bag subsequently on artificial surfaces but not ruled out having made a yard switch.
Boasts some solid form in big-field handicaps but losing run stretches back over 2 years and seemingly going through the motions in recent starts. Still, no surprise to see him hit the frame.
4-y-o who shaped as if back in form when midfield in a Chester handicap (6f) in August. He seemingly needs things to fall just right but appeals as being on a handy mark.
Not the most consistent but he did manage a couple of victories at Thirsk/Redcar (6f) last summer. Mixed bag this term but he did shape as if back in form at Thirsk latest and his mark has eased.
Infrequent winner but he has run right up to his best on 2 of his last 3 starts, keeping on for third at Beverley (5f) recently having briefly had his run delayed. Should go well again.
Resurgent in handicaps upon joining this yard last year, winning 4, 6f handicaps. However, its been a struggle so far this term, well held all 3 starts.
Back on song of late and best not judged too harshly on his latest sixth-place finish at Thirsk (6f) finding those ridden more prominently holding an advantage. This tougher but each-way claims.

Fresh (9/4), Call Me Ginger (4/1), Breanski (11/2), Gunmetal (9/1), Royal Prospect (12/1), Fighting Irish (12/1), Tenax (14/1), El Hombre (14/1), Hart Stopper (18/1), Musharrif (20/1), Teruntum Star (20/1), Bernardo O'Reilly (22/1), Flying Pursuit (22/1), Ice Lord (33/1), Tricky Dicky (66/1), Major Valentine (200/1)
The sole 3-y-o in the line-up, FRESH was impressive when making light of his opening mark at Kempton last month, quickening up impressively and finding plenty when challenged. There's undoubtedly more to come from James Fanshawe's charge and he can defy a rise in the weights back on turf. Call Me Ginger, Breanski and Tenax are a trio of others to consider.
