100 Expert View: Was carrying more but went significantly down in form in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior though; enjoys making it; suited by 7f and a sound surface; steadily progressive.
103 Expert View: Showed significant improvement from previous run landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; reliable type but mark stiff.
101 Expert View: Ran to form, needed run beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on any though perhaps better suited by cut and ground might be lively enough here.
97 Expert View: Slipped in form comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; top course jockey; effective at 7f, acts on soft, good and AW but action suggests should handle fast ground.
100 Expert View: Won this last year; down in form comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective at 6f-7f, acts on good to soft, good, good to firm and AW; inconsistent and needs things to drop right.
99 Expert View: Slightly up in form beaten 2l off this mark at Newmarket last time; best at 7f, suited by give but acts on good and AW; more needed.
96 Expert View: Back to winning ways, slight ease in ratings and drop in class suited landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 7f but ground a possible concern; consistent until latest, could bounce back.
102 Expert View: Yard won this last year; slipped right down in form when finishing mid-field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface.
101 Expert View: Kept to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Newmarket latest; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on any ground; consistent but holds no secrets from handicapper.
101 Expert View: Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; stays 7f, bred for speed; strong sort, sire's progeny tend to be game, progressing.
92 Expert View: Tentatively back up in form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at York latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f; bounce back needed.
Verdict
It's a stiff mark that BILLYJOH must overcome, but he showed plenty of promise landing a handicap at Newmarket last month and has often wound up in the placings. New Image hasn't won for a while but is competitively weighted and, if showing enough, could be there or thereabouts. Galeron, meanwhile, mightn't like the ground, but he has been in generally good form over time and arrives off the back of a mid-season break.
