Three last-time-out winners and a strong pace looks assured. Get The Value (second choice) is thriving while Stream Of Stars, American Land and Luttrell Lad all come here in good nick with plenty to recommend them. They also like to get on with it, however, so maybe the veteran CLEARANCE, who proved he's no back number last time, can swoop late.[Richard Russell]

Returned from long absence with two Fontwell wins (2m3f/2m1f) last autumn and started this season in good style when making all at Bangor (2m, good) in May, providing Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies with their first winner together; bound to give it another good go.
Races prominently; capitalised on reduced mark at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in February and it was a good effort when fourth in a valuable series final at Haydock (1m7f, good) in April; strong contender off the same mark.
10yo who's on a long losing run but there were signs he was finding his level in the autumn until a lesser effort at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) when last seen 195 days ago; had wind surgery in April; yard likely has better prospects with American Land but market can guide.
Likes to press the pace; turning into a prolific sort having won four of his last five, the last two after wind surgery and most recently here (about 2m2f, good) three weeks ago; sometimes makes hard work of it but that's not doing his mark any harm and he should go well again up 4lb; yard also runs War Lord.
Useful juvenile hurdler but it's been mostly hard work since, including when beaten a long way in cheekpieces the last twice; meets some in-form rivals today and this looks a tough race to stage revival; drops back in trip.
Positively ridden when having rivals well strung out at Stratford (2m) in March and again always up there when doubling up off 9lb higher here (about 2m2f, also good) three weeks ago; further 7lb rise demands more but he's thriving.
Six-time course winner on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); woeful in two starts away from this track in the spring but he'd dropped to a dangerous mark when a respectable fourth here (about 2m5f, good; winner's won since) last month; will appreciate a strong gallop on this drop back in trip and can rarely be ruled out here.
