4/1
Went up 5lb after winning on soft ground at Epsom in August and finished fourth of 14 on a faster surface at Newbury. Down 1lb and this easier going ought to suit.

Lingfield winner on good to soft ground in May, but has struggled off higher marks since. Needs to take a step forward to get involved.

7/2
Successful in a C&D novice event on debut and two subsequent runs under a penalty have been respectable. Makes her handicap debut and is very much one to note.

Back to winning ways when scoring decisively at Redcar earlier this month. Plenty more to do upped 7lb, but can't be ruled out.

Generally well held since scoring over 1m at Chepstow in May. Steps up in trip off a falling handicap rating and it will be interesting to see if there is money for him.

Returning from a break of the best part of two years when landing a 1m handicap at this venue in April. No joy since, but will be suited by easier ground than he has been encountering.

Back-to-back wins at Chepstow and Epsom in August and although the handicapper had his say, she went close under a bold ride at Chester last time. Up another 1lb, but could have more to offer if sllghtly more patiently ridden.

Doncaster winner on soft ground in March off this mark. Nowhere near that form in three runs since, but is clearly handicapped to go well if back on song.

Placed twice in five starts and appears to enjoy cut in the ground. Not obviously well handicapped on the evidence so far, though.

First run for this yard since leaving Alain De Royer Dupre's stable when seventh of 14 over 1m4f on the Kempton AW. Best watched until showing a little more.

Forecasts

Fresh Terms (2/1), Maybe Today (7/2), Zzoro (4/1), Winged Spur (6/1), Glorious Poet (7/1), Ghazan (8/1), Statuario (10/1), Rake's Progress (10/1), Man Of Harlech (25/1), Roudrapour (25/1), Ventura Dragon (25/1), Bakht A Rawan (33/1)

Verdict

Maybe Today is well worth checking out in the betting as she makes her handicap debut, while the likes of Zzoro, Winged Spur, Statuario, Ventura Dragon and Bakht A Rawan will have their supporters. However, FRESH TERMS was unlucky to be collared at Chester last time and is taken to make amends. At a price, Glorious Poet has prospects upped in trip.
