Verdict

HAAZEEZ was touched off by just a short-head at Doncaster 8 days ago and looks primed to go one better in this similar contest. Macedonian is worth keeping onside returning to the all-weather where he's been successful, especially after shaping better than the result when stumbling at the start last time. Style King has shown his best form on artificial surfaces.

Verdict
Two-time AW winner including at this C&D, but ran below form when 4th of 10 in turf handicap at Lingfield (11/1) 10 days ago, racing too freely to see things out. Will need to settle better if she's to prove more competitive back on turf.

Verdict
Won a 6f AW handicap in March for Simon & Ed Crisford. Better than ever for new connections when second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (22/1) 14 days ago, shaping better than the result after stumbling at the start. One to keep an eye on returning to AW where successful earlier this year.

Verdict
Won a 5f handicap at Redcar in May and wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth of 6 in a 5f handicap at Doncaster (5/2) 28 days ago, outpaced before plugging on late. Could be more effective back at this 6f trip.

Placed in maiden/novice races but never threatened when eighth of 9 at Windsor (8/1) 32 days ago. Looks fairly exposed but should be suited by the return to 6f.

Verdict
C&D win in January but has struggled on turf of late, sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (40/1) 17 days ago on good going. Returns to a more suitable surface today and is back on his last winning mark.

Verdict
Solid juvenile form and ran better in first-time cheekpieces when third of 9 at Thirsk in June and improved with headgear retained when second of 10 in 6f handicap at Doncaster (9/1) 8 days ago, beaten just a short-head. Looks up to winning a handicap at this level soon.

Verdict
Second in handicap at Kempton in October but hasn't built on that. Forgiven latest effort when ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (15/2) 49 days ago when hampered and unsuited by the 5f trip. Should benefit from the return to 6f back on the all-weather and this could be run to suit.

Showed ability when second in a Newcastle maiden for Willam Haggas last season and was fifth of 9 in a 6f handicap at Nottingham (8/1) on third start for new connections 14 days ago, plugging on final furlong after being held up. Probably needs more help from the handicapper.

Verdict
Promising third at Doncaster (15/2) last November but inconsistent this season. Returned to form under a more positive ride when fifth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle over 6.9f (22/1) 22 days ago. Returns to 6f on a fair mark if he can recapture the best of his juvenile form.
