Bubbles Wonky (G)
Ninth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Haydock (8f, good to soft) 90 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Others more persuasive.

Vice President (G)
[H1]
Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 14/1) 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly down in trip. Hood on 1st time so no forlorn hope.

Monty Beau (G)
Lightly-raced sort who got off the mark on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 31 days ago. Can make presence felt despite 3 lb weights rise.

Hinchinbrooke (C)
[P]
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 28 days ago, no match for winner. Can give a good account with headgear again fitted.

Oman (G)
Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 33 days ago, suited by way race developed. Reluctant individual overall though.
