Charlus (G)
[HT]
Borderline useful in both codes at his best. Chronic headstrong ways have held him back in 3 starts for Dan Skelton. Returns from 12-week break (had breathing operation in the interim) with yard in tremendous form, though.

Continuance (G)
FAV
Free-going sort. Chased home a useful pair at Sandown in January. Continued fine run of form behind resurgent rival on first try over 2½m at Worcester latest, and he's expected to run a big race back over a sharper test.

Max Of Stars (M)
Enthusiastic front runner. Career-best second on the Flat (following another breathing operation) at Ripon last time. Bidding to repeat her success in this race 12 months ago, but she's off 2 lb higher in a deeper renewal here.

Arctic Voyage (G)
Didn't need to improve to land the double in a C&D novice in May. Conditions may not have been ideal when distant second back in a handicap here (good to soft) last time, for all he still has a bit to find at the weights.

Emerald Time (G)
[T]
Low-mileage 5-y-o who is progressing over hurdles. Off the mark comfortably in first-time tongue strap at Worcester latest. Has the speed to cope with a tighter track, and he looks capable of defying a 6 lb rise.
