Not been in the best of form this year and mark is falling quite quickly as a result. Missed break and didn't get the best of runs at Newcastle (7f) last time. Tends to do better over further than this but not dismissed from good draw.

Dropped to this trip for the first time on handicap debut over C&D last time and never looked like winning. Dropped a couple of pounds here but needs plenty more. Still early days.

Cost a packet at 825,000 and was returning from a 10 month absence when running well at Kempton in a novice event three weeks ago. Starts life in handicaps off what could be a lenient mark and is very much respected.

Making stable debut at Newcastle last time having been off for almost a year. Finished tailed off there and whilst she should come on for the run, she's 0-9 now and needs rapid improvement.

Ran consistently well through the summer without getting his head in-front. Returns here from a six-month break dropped 2lb and last AW win came off this mark. Player if fit and ready to go.

Looked in need of the run on return to action at Leicester back in October when well held in a seller. Not on a bad mark here and blinkers are added for the first time but has work to do.

Eight-race maiden who has done all his racing in handicaps over 7f. Has looked short of a turn of foot at times so this trip asks another question. Mark is falling, still early days and has a good draw so not dismissed.

Has dropped in the weights and put in a better effort on first start for this yard at Lingfield (6f) last time. Dropped 1lb for that and will be a player if able to build on that effort.

Given a good ride from the front when a close-up second here over 5f last time. Riders claim a help but will not be as easy to dominate from a wide draw here over further.

Nine-race maiden who ran respectably back in novice company over 7f here last time. Should be capable off this sort of mark based on that but wide draw is a concern from out the weights.

Only one win in 31 starts now and has not looked like adding to that tally of late. Should appreciate being back on this surface but plenty to prove from out of the weights.

Seemed to appreciate this switch to Fibresand when putting up a better effort last time. Could be more to come but drawn wide and is out of the weights here.

Forecasts

Zorawar (3/1), Nutopia (4/1), Fairway To Heaven (11/2), Cuban Spirit (6/1), Dirayah (6/1), Krazy Paving (10/1), Stopdworldnletmeof (14/1), Cotton Socks (14/1), Toolatetodelegate (14/1), Red Snapper (33/1), Whispering Soul (40/1), Isabella Ruby (50/1), Tonkolili (50/1)

Verdict

Zorawar has dropped a long way in the weights and would be tough to beat if bouncing back to anywhere near his peak. Krazy Paving was consistent in the summer and has found a weak race for his return. Slight preference is for DIRAYAH who cost plenty and shaped like all the ability was still there in a novice event back from a break last time. She can make a successful handicap debut.
