Returns to last winning mark here but better over further than this and he's failed to place in three starts at this course. Others preferred.

Had the run of the race somewhat last time when finishing second of nine over C&D and probably better over a little shorter than this (all wins have come over an extended mile or shorter). He's an inconsistent sort and while he is admittedly down to his last winning mark, he's opposable.

Three time winner at Lingfield, twice off higher marks than this but he's been in particularly poor form of late, last on each of his four starts and shaping as if amiss so easy enough to look elsewhere, especially when taking into account his wide draw.

8/1
First win since 2015 at Chelmsford last time and he's run well without winning here before. 6lb rise looks fair enough for a 4L winning margin but he's never won off a mark this high so needs to prove he can be as effective. Jockey has a good relationship with the gelding, having been on board for three of his career successes.

Unplaced on each of his last eight starts and not won since an amateur handicap last May. Zero from four on the AW and has an absence to overcome.

Unplaced no all five starts and particularly disappointing last time. Tried without the hood that has been used the last twice. Others hold stronger claims.

Three wins from 22 starts here but never won off a mark this high and while he's been running well enough recently, she looks too high in the handicap.

9/2
Still a maiden after eight starts but he's a consistent sort who looks poised to strike in an event like this. Ran well here last time and trainer likely to find the key to him sooner or later.

Suitsust23
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-5| J: T J Murphy| T: G Deacon| OR:  58
7/1
Capable but overall record stands at just one win from 23 starts and that came over 6f. Placed on his last two starts on the AW including here last time and been running okay over this sort of trip lately but likely to need more in a race as competitive as this.

5/1
Up 3lb for a close C&D second last time out and runs well here, winning twice from 11 starts at the course but that rise in the weights may be enough to anchor her for now.

8/1
Two-time course winner and now one pound lower than last winning mark. Drop in trip ought to help but a wide draw isn't ideal and has developed a habit of missing the break. Has a chance if putting it all together.

Still a maiden after 18 starts and only placed once so very hard to recommend with a high draw but jockey booking is a positive at least.

Forecasts

Glorious Asset (9/2), Pensax Lady (5/1), Powered (11/2), Suitsus (7/1), Siouxperhero (8/1), Filament Of Gold (8/1), Nouvelle Ere (8/1), Schottische (14/1), Speculator (14/1), Victor's Bet (20/1), Lemon Thyme (25/1), Two In The Pink (25/1), Turnbury (33/1)

Verdict

FILAMENT OF GOLD has won at this course twice before and the drop in trip should help him no end so he looks to have a chance off a 1lb lower mark than he last won off. Pensax Lady runs well here but she needs to prove she can be as competitive off a higher mark while Nouvelle Ere won well last time out and should be thereabouts again despite a hike in the weights.
