Low-mileage 4-y-o FOX AVATAR overcame trouble in running to win in the style of one well ahead of his mark at Chelmsford 4 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise for that should see him firmly in the mix again from a handy draw in stall 4. Immediate Effect, the sole 3-y-o in the line-up, Irish raider Dancing Steve and Londoner, who is shaping up very well, are others on the shortlist in an intriguing finale.

    Verdict
    Fair form as a 3-y-o, landing second of his 3 starts in novice company at Beverley (10f) in September. Confirmed promise of his reappearance effort at second attempt and overcame trouble-in-running when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (10f) 4 weeks ago and very much of interest again.

    Laid down solid foundations in maiden/novice company and more professional when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (1m) in June. Solid in-the-frame efforts have followed, good second of 6 in handicap at Redcar (1m) 11 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and respected as sole 3-y-o.

    Verdict
    Real credit to connections who posted a useful effort to end a losing run in 13-runner handicap (18/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Enjoyed positional advantages on the day but his consistency is hard to knock and type to give his running again under a penalty.

    Justified good support on second start for this yard at Newcastle (10.2f) in May and has remained in top form on turf of late, second of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Ascot (10f, firm) 20 days ago, edged out late on. He's yet another good advert for this stable and respected with cheekpieces back on.

    Verdict
    Useful gelding who ran well on first run since leaving Michael Appleby when second of 3 in minor event at Gowran (9.5f, good) 5 days ago. Lines up 1 lb below the mark he defied at Chelmsford earlier this year and no surprise to see a bold showing.

    Verdict
    Irish raider who comes here operating firmly at the top of his game, confirming promise of recent runs when winning 5-runner handicap at Navan (10.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, conceding first run but finding plenty to forge clear. Not underestimated from good draw despite 8 lb higher mark.

    Verdict
    Dual C&D winner who arrives on the back of a creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 18 days ago, not quicken only late on. Eased 2 lb ahead of this debut for new yard but another with a less than ideal draw to overcome in bid to supplement success in this 12 months ago.

    Verdict
    Steadily eased in the weights this year and he took advantage under a well-judged front-running ride at Sandown (10f) last month. Up 6 lb, ran to a similar level when third of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) 30 days ago, well positioned.

    Verdict
    4-y-o who was in good form on AW earlier this year, again finding only one too good at Lingfield (10f) in April. Stepped up on a lesser run without threatening when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ascot (10f, firm) 20 days ago and tricky draw to operate from here.

    Verdict
    Has done really well at Newcastle since joining present yard, winning 5 times between December and March. Another solid effort there when fourth in the 19-runner Northumberland Vase in June and overdid things in front when down the field in Old Newton Cup 26 days ago. This more suitable.

    Verdict
    4-time winner on AW last year (including over C&D) who ran best race for a while when runner-up behind an unexposed sort at Chelmsford (10f) in June. Not in same form either start since, latterly on turf but foolish to dismiss back on this surface with a visor now applied.

    Verdict
    Won twice on Lingfield's AW in the spring. Better than the result when fifth over 1¼m at Yarmouth in May but unable to build on that when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Return to all-weather can see him in a better light but others rate stronger.

    Verdict
    Ran well down in grade when runner-up at Beverley earlier this month and fared better than he had at York next time, when creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 4 days ago, not ideally placed. This is tougher again, however.
