Consistent; second in big field here last time; should again be in the money
15 (4)	Trilby b Joe Fanning · Sam England	Joe Fanning · Sam England	127	—	510666	72	97	86	9d	—	—	-2	11.1	6/1 14%
Not disgraced in big fields of late; no surprise if he's on the premises once more
1 (8)	Rock Opera b Oisin Orr · Richard Fahey	Oisin Orr · Richard Fahey	135	—	550421	80	93	72	14d	—	—	+15	23.5	9/1 10%
Came late to win at Doncaster two weeks ago; leading contender once more
11 (1)	Danzan b Billy Garritty · Tim Easterby	Billy Garritty · Tim Easterby	129	p	-33005	74	95	83	28d	—	—	0	10.4	8/1 11%
Shaped well when fifth of 20 over C&D four weeks ago, and should be thereabouts again
6 (10)	Mattice b Sean Kirrane · Tim Easterby	Sean Kirrane · Tim Easterby	132	p	-21404	77	94	81	15d	—	—	+4	13.3	10/1 9%
Fine fourths over C&D and at Newcastle; may well be the pick of Tim Easterby's four
18 (3)	Ray Vonn b Hector Crouch · B F Brookhouse	Hector Crouch · B F Brookhouse	127	ht	1489-1	72	93	85	64d	—	—	+10	17.6	12/1 8%
Has found his niche as a sprinter; narrow winner at Nottingham; likely contender
3 (13)	Hierarchy ch Saffie Osborne · Jamie Osborne	Saffie Osborne · Jamie Osborne	134	tp	38-670	79	96	77	29d	—	—	+2	9.4	12/1 8%
Met trouble over inadequate 5f last time; not ruled out back up in trip
2 (18)	Elegant Erin b David Nolan · Paul Midgley	David Nolan · Paul Midgley	135	—	546321	80	93	74	15d	—	—	+18	24.4	14/1 7%
First run after wind op when scoring at Newcastle; 3lb rise fine but longer trip a worry
20 (6)	Showtime Mahomes b Sam James · Grant Tuer	Sam James · Grant Tuer	124	—	556524	69	94	73	8d	—	—	+4	9.9	16/1 6%
Knocking at the door, fading only late on at Doncaster last Friday; another to consider
5 (5)	Maxi Boy b Daniel Tudhope · Fionn McSharry	Daniel Tudhope · Fionn McSharry	133	—	2679-5	78	95	83	29d	—	—	+3	8.6	18/1 5%
Encouraging start for new yard at Chester and now returns to same trip as for sole win
10 (2)	Rebel Path b Daniel Muscutt · Stuart Williams	Daniel Muscutt · Stuart Williams	130	—	307836	75	92	80	6d	—	—	+5	9.7	16/1 6%
Mark has fallen and the drop to 5f last time probably counted against him; not ruled out
17 (11)	Utilis b Ben Robinson · Brian Ellison	Ben Robinson · Brian Ellison	127	—	20-020	72	91	69	15d	—	—	+3	6.6	22/1 4%
Now 0-15, and this is a rare go at 6f (unplaced last two attempts)
12 (7)	As If By Chance b Alex Jary(5) · Nigel Tinkler	Alex Jary(5) · Nigel Tinkler	129	—	00-495	74	95	69	38d	—	—	+3	7	28/1 3%
Signs of a revival last time and back to last winning mark; could be dangerous
8 (17)	Treacherous b Ben Coen · Ed de Giles	Ben Coen · Ed de Giles	131	—	2-3442	76	92	82	17d	—	—	+7	11	25/1 4%
Has made frame on last nine outings and likely to be in the thick of things again
16 (20)	Spirit Of Applause b James Sullivan · Tim Easterby	James Sullivan · Tim Easterby	127	—	06-066	72	92	69	21d	—	—	+4	6.2	28/1 3%
Needs a revival but returning to 6f may help and his mark is plummeting
13 (12)	Oso Rapido b Tom Kiely-Marshall(7) · Roger Fell & Sean Murray	Tom Kiely-Marshall(7) · Roger Fell & Sean Murray	128	—	-00705	73	88	61	25d	—	—	+4	6.5	40/1 2%
Mark is falling fast and showed some promise last time; could go well at long odds
14 (16)	Bella Kopella b Rowan Scott · Nigel Tinkler	Rowan Scott · Nigel Tinkler	128	t	138144	73	94	82	8d	—	—	+9	12.1	33/1 3%
Respectable efforts since Beverley win in May; again unlikely to be far away
19 (19)	Glendown b Cam Hardie · Tim Easterby	Cam Hardie · Tim Easterby	124	tp	10-094	69	96	70	8d	—	—	+2	5.6	66/1 1%
Shaped as if running back into form when fourth at Beverley; interesting
NR (15)	Kuwait City b Shane Gray · John Butler	Shane Gray · John Butler	132	—	9-1808	77	93	83	30d	—	—	—	6.8	—
Hasn't made frame since reappearance win and 6f seems to stretch his stamina
NR (14)	Sibyl Charm b Paul Mulrennan · Iain Jardine	Paul Mulrennan · Iain Jardine	130	—	114755	75	91	76	17d	—	—	—	8.3	—
Last three runs have been below par and she often concedes ground at start; bit to prove
