Wins have all come on turf, mainly in the summer, round more demanding courses than this over shorter trips; can miss the break and will need some luck if dropped in as usual from a wide stall in first-time headgear.

Master Of Combat
Four-time course winner who again gave his running when a beaten favourite at Southwell a fortnight ago; has won over this trip but it's possible to argue he's happiest over a bit shorter.

Bizarre Law
Regressive for Andrew Balding this year having missed eight months; no signs of an imminent revival when well held for his new yard over C&D recently (behind Young Fire).

Timetobenice
Patchy this year and disappointed round Lingfield last time; had previously hit traffic when not beaten far over C&D off a 2lb higher mark, though, and it wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up.

Jacques Cartier
Ex-Crisford maiden who was picked up for 6,500gns in September; comes right down in trip tonight, having finished tailed off in a first-time hood over 1m6f for his new yard three weeks ago.

Young Fire
Veteran who's been drawn wide a couple of times over C&D since returned to the AW; is now 2lb lower than when winning at York in September and holds each-way claims.

Sense Of Worth
Does most racing now over a bit further but often pulls hard and was fine with this trip when second a couple of times over C&D early in the year; will want to settle better from stall 11 off the back of a couple of below-par efforts though.

Back on the mark off which he won an amateurs' event over C&D in October; needs to improve on recent efforts but the step back up in trip won't hurt in an open handicap.

Palazzo Persico
Three-time Polytrack winner who hasn't shone in four runs on Tapeta (said to have never travelled at Southwell in August); the surface switch is the big question upped 5lb for his latest Chelmsford win (first-time visor).

Finn Russell
Well below market expectations over hurdles and on Polytrack the past twice; won twice here late last year, though, and is handily drawn for a potential front-runner, so better can be anticipated.

Landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D off 5lb lower in October; got trapped wide and hung right down to 8.7f last time and should fare better.

L'Ennemi
Hard-pulling maiden who's struggled in handicaps for this yard, having been gelded and undergone wind surgery; has it all to prove on his Tapeta debut back from a short break.
