7/1
Loves it here and has three wins to his name at the venue, the last being his latest success from 7lb higher last season. Well handicapped on that basis and now drops in class, making him very interesting.

8/1
The last of his three wins was two years ago and from 10lb higher and he has only gone close a couple of times since. Handicapper has begun to relent recently and another 2lb drop here should help, but does need to reignite the spark.

Won over this trip at Lingfield (AW) in April and was in the grip of the handicapper until last time when beaten just ½L from this mark back at that venue on turf (7½f, soft). Faster ground is no problem and if he can repeat that effort he won't be far away.

5/1
Half of his six wins have been here, including two over C&D and he is 7lb higher than when scoring over 7f in June. Up 4lb for going close at Lingfield last time but can't be ruled out now returning here.

7/1
Won with a bit in hand at Bath (1m, firm) a couple of starts ago but the handicapper clobbered him to the tune of 10lb for that. Was still able to run to a short-head shy of the winner back there last time, but the additional 1lb today is not going to make it any easier. Not ruled out.

13/8
C&D winner on his reappearance in May and has run well in defeat on all four subsequent starts. Now looking exposed, but does have place claims and should be in the mix.

40/1
0-13 and apart from being placed in her first two maidens in 2015, she has shown nothing to get excited about. Has been off the track since June last year and is now with a new yard, but a watching brief is advised today.

1-36, that sole success being on the All Weather (1m) over two years ago. Has changed yards since last seen in November and it is hard to enthuse about her chance today.

50/1
Stepped up from sprint trips to 1m2f at Ffos Las last time and that didn't seem to do much good (beaten 31L) and now reverts to 1m. Out of the handicap here and is impossible to recommend on racecourse evidence.

33/1
Has been sent off at big prices on all nine starts and it is easy to see why, as she hasn't yet made the frame. Steps up to this trip for the first time, but out of the handicap and others preferred again.

0-11 so far and another who is out of the handicap and has been unable to trouble the judge. Easy to take her on again this time.

Another who races from out of the handicap and has yet to get closer than 12½L to the winner of any of her four starts. Not easy to see that changing today.

Forecasts

Buzz Lightyere (13/8), Live Dangerously (5/1), Rattle On (5/1), Pick A Little (7/1), Aye Aye Skipper (7/1), Hot Mustard (8/1), World Record (12/1), Sheer Intensity (16/1), Jump Around (25/1), Oddsocks (33/1), Katie Canford (40/1), Hellarious (50/1), Back To Love (50/1), Play The Blues (50/1)

Verdict

A very poor contest to bring the curtain down on the card and the suggestion is PICK A LITTLE, who should appreciate this drop in grade. Hot Mustard is being given a chance again by the handicapper and is not dismissed lightly, while Aye Aye Skipper is clearly in great heart and should be thereabouts. Buzz Lightyere is another to consider, along with World Record and Live Dangerously now that they are back at this venue.
