Verdict
This is wide open but Ed Dunlop's low-mileage DON SIMON rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his very good Chelmsford second (form been franked) so edges the vote. Redcar scorer Capla Lazarus is also less exposed than most of these and heads the list of dangers, with Papagei, Maghlaak, Ey Up Its The Boss and Glistening Nights all well in the mix too.

VerdictA fairly useful 1m4f winner but he saw his run of good form come to an end when only eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 26 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

VerdictOn a long losing run but he was refitted with cheekpieces when a good second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. Very much one to consider.

VerdictFit from hurdling but he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 30 days ago. This fair 1m2f winner needs to bounce back.
