Fully exposed 5yo but recorded the best RPR of his 51-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); tame enough Chester run since and drops to claiming company here; won't want too much rain.
His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though.

All four wins have been on AW and she's 0-11 on turf; finished placed a few times on good or quicker ground last summer but she's been quiet in both runs this season and others are more persuasive.

Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted.

Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims.

Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted.

Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark.

Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark.

Yet to win a handicap but he went close at Nottingham last October and again finishing second on last month's reappearance at Lingfield (6f, AW); this is more competitive but he isn't fully exposed.

Manila Scouse owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (53) and market confidence (70). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
