Very promising start to his career but completely lost his way towards the end of last season and comeback run was devoid of any promise. First-time hood needs to help settle him if he's to have any chance in this line up.

Has been a little disappointing since rejoining this yard after a fair spell hurdling for the Nicky Henderson yard and hard to fancy from 5lb above his last winning mark after his two runs so far this campaign.

Progressive for the Johnny Murtagh yard last year and his run in the Lincoln was full of promise two starts back but struggled here last time and possibly best watched after that effort when he possibly didn't handle the track.

5/4
One win from six starts and went close to getting his head back in front two starts back at Goodwood. Not disgraced at York when last seen in August and trainer does well with his runners returning from a break; he looks on a feasible mark but this is competitive and he shapes like he may want more of a stamina test. He'll need to be 100% fit to land a blow

Has looked more effective on AW in recent times and not won on turf since 2015. No signs he's well handicapped judged on his recent form and only beaten a total of three home on his last three starts. Jockey booking is a positive at least, particularly around this course.

Won at this meeting last year at odds of 25/1 and not beaten far here in April when last seen. Could still be improving and mark looks feasible; should go well with the step up in trip likely to suit.

12/1
Good third here last time after missing the kick and he holds two C&D wins to his name in conditions softer than good. Jockey booking is a positive, particularly around this course and he may come on for his recent reappearance here. Every chance he'll run well but never won off a mark this high.

Out of form on the Flat in recent times but most recent win came in last year's renewal of this contest. Will no doubt enjoy any rain that arrives and he's back below his last winning mark; likely to run well.

10/1
Respectable effort behind the very well-handicapped Galapiat here last time out and won well at Brighton the time before. Well suited to an undulating track but he's been given a 3lb rise for his latest effort and that looks a little harsh on the face of it. Not sure to enjoy the softer conditions either so he's opposable from 8lb above his last winning mark.

Won his first race on turf last time out at Windsor on good to firm ground. Up against it in a deeper contest here though from 3lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Shraaoh (5/4), Gawdawpalin (9/2), Eddystone Rock (15/2), Whinging Willie (10/1), Soldier In Action (12/1), Barwick (12/1), Lorelina (12/1), Cold Fusion (12/1), Murgan (14/1), Sennockian Star (16/1), Spinners Ball (16/1), Green Light (16/1), Carntop (25/1)

Verdict

GREEN LIGHT is an interesting runner having taken this contest last year from a 1lb higher mark and the forecast rain should help his chance. Gawdawpalin is another who has proven himself around here and looks to be on a fair mark while Barwick gets the services of Franny Norton who is a dab hand around here.
