Feel The Need
Has enjoyed a consistent year and built on an unlucky Newcastle fifth when winning over C&D a fortnight ago (4lb higher today); had a bit in hand that day and has to be considered in current form.

Dembe
Fine on Tapeta but easy to argue Polytrack suits best, with five of his six wins coming on that surface; a 5lb rise for his latest Kempton win, which came in a race run to suit, may leave him vulnerable.

Cosmos Raj
Generally solid record over 1m on Tapeta is rather spoiled by two poor efforts over C&D, which would have to be a worry on his return from nine months off (wins have all come after a recent outing).

Lessay
Picked up from Andrew Balding for 20,000gns in October and made a solid start for his new yard when coming home nicely over 7f here ten days ago; the return to this trip will suit on that evidence.

First Kiss
More professional when off the mark on her third start for the Gosden yard in October, after which she was picked up for 35,000gns; it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on her handicap/Tapeta debut.

Hitched
Notched a quickfire Class 6 hat-trick last month before finishing third to Feel The Need off revised mark over C&D latest; a 4lb swing entitles him to close the gap but it's possible the handicapper has caught up now.

Four-time course winner who arrives in good form, goes well for Joanna Mason and won't mind the step back up from 7f; looks set to go well once more.

Onslow Gardens
Couple of solid efforts in handicaps in the autumn but then looked to have no excuses at a short price when back to novice company a few weeks ago; has had plenty of chances now.

Show Biz Kid
Ex-Hannon maiden who goes in a first-time hood having pulled hard over further last time; will find this more competitive back into handicap company after a short break.

Risen Again
Maiden who often pulled hard for James Ferguson and did so again for his new yard when last seen, despite the first-time hood; this mark should be within range if he's more amenable but therein lies the gamble.
