TIMEFORM VIEW Down to an attractive mark following a low-key start to this season and returned to form when finding just one too strong at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last time. Still, this looks more competitive and others make more appeal for win purposes. TFRHHHII BHA78

TIMEFORM VIEW Clearly lit up by first-time visor when scoring unchallenged at Yarmouth (5f, good) last month. Trailed in last of 12 at Newmarket recently, but will be a threat if able to bounce back here with Frankie Dettori in the hot-seat. TFRHHHII BHA75

TIMEFORM VIEW Multiple AW winner who bettered previous turf efforts when a close third at Goodwood in June. Best work at the finish when fourth of six back on polytrack at Lingfield (5f) last time and he’s not without each-way hope. TFRHHHII BHA73

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed the benefit of debut spin when landing a 6f Lingfield novice (AW) in January. Improved again when following up at Wolverhampton two months later, and while stall 10 isn’t ideal, he is otherwise very appealing on this handicap/turf debut given the potential he possesses.

TIMEFORM VIEW Losing run stretches back more than two years, but arrives here on the back of good placed efforts at Bath and Doncaster. Each-way chance off this reduced mark if stall 11 doesn’t prove too much of a hindrance. TFRHHHII BHA64 8
