Comment: Winner of 11 races including two of his last three, firstly over C&D (good to soft) last month and then under Oliver Searle at Leicester (5f, good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but he won off this mark last summer so ought to be bang there again.

22/1

Comment: Won a classified event in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; 50-1) in February, but not matched that form in various headgear since; tongue-tie given a go now, but he steps up half a mile in trip so does have stamina to prove.

40/1

Comment: Seven wins at up to 1m4f, including four on varying ground on turf; does stay this far, but losing run up to 51 so he makes limited appeal.
