5/1
Modest record now stands at 1-25. Has improved with each run this season including third of 12 in 1m3f Windsor handicap on latest start. That run means he enters place calculations.

9/1
Twice a winner at Brighton this season but form remains inconsistent. Latest 6L fourth at Brighton suggests more is needed off current mark.

0-8 on the flat but has been running into the places recently, including 4L third at Sandown (1m2f) in July. Yet to prove he stays but likely to be in the mix once again.

Narrow second over C&D last month and boosted that effort with second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on latest start. Up 1lb but that shouldn't stop him. Leading player.

On a long losing run but is now on a. dangerous mark these days. Staying on fifth over 1m at Brighton suggests this trip shouldn't be an issue but more exposed than others.

Losing streak now stands at 11 and hasn't shown much for current yard. Latest last of 12 leaves a lot to be desired and others are readily preferred.

Isle of Wolves (1/1), The Lords Walk (11/4), Grange Walk (4/1), Shifting Gold (9/2), Maroc (5/1), Couldn't Could She (9/1), Duke Of North (10/1), Sweet Nature (16/1)

Verdict

ISLE OF WOLVES has been running consistently well to his current mark in his most recent starts and looks to be given a chance from the handicapper to finally get a victory on the board. His main danger will be from The Lords Walk, who has formed a good partnership with his jockey and his 5lb claim could be pivotal, but he still has to prove he stays along with Grange Walk, who should be thereabouts if he sees out the trip as well as Shifting Gold, who may just be in the grip of the handicapper.
