Verdict

Successful at Beverley in July, IT JUST TAKES TIME drops back into class 4 company for the first time since and is worth a chance to bounce back with a visor applied. Classy Clarets is much respected, though, as he arrives in top form, with Vince le Prince also in the mix.

Verdict
Fairly useful form when winning at Beverley (7.5f) in May last year. However, form was mixed later in the campaign and after a 12-month absence he offered little when well held at Nottingham (8.5f) 16 days ago.

Front runner who confirmed promise of previous couple of starts when winning 4-runner contest at Beverley in July. Has found things tougher at a higher level since, but he now returns to class 4 company with visor on first time. Interesting contender.

Verdict
Useful at his best in Ireland and, fitted with headgear, took advantage of a drop in grade when winning 3-runner seller at Beverley (8.5f) in July. Ran well when second in 7f handicap at Thirsk last month, but wasn't in the same form at Chester only 7 days later.

Verdict
Has enjoyed a most productive campaign, winning 7 times including 5 of his last 6 starts. Produced a career best when making all at Southwell 7 weeks ago and he's not taken lightly up in grade. Tongue strap back on.

Verdict
Has proved better than ever this year, winning 3 times with his latest success at Brighton early last month. Respectable fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and he can give his running once more switched to a visor.

Verdict
Free-going sort who finally opened his account in 12-runner handicap at Thirsk in September, suited by a well-run race. Ran creditably back up 4 lb in the weights when fourth of 12 at Southwell 3 weeks ago, looking to hold every chance.

Verdict
Has a good record at Pontefract with 2 wins over 6f this season, though was seen to good effect for his latest win in August. Not ideally placed when seventh of 12 there on his latest outing, though needs to transfer his best form back up to 7f.
