10/1

18/1, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago, having run of race. Previous visit here was unsuccessful so others make more appeal.

13/2

Course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win here in November. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. One to consider.

Forecasts

Native Silver (85/40), Xcelente (7/2), Fieldsman (13/2), Tukhoom (13/2), Red Jasper (7/1), Howzer Black (10/1), Love Your Work (18/1), Glory of Paris (20/1), Siavash (28/1), Headland (33/1)

NATIVE SILVER saves his best for this venue and was only just touched off here earlier in the month. He should be able to defy a 3 lb rise to gain a third course victory. Love Your Work showed signs of returning to form for this yard last time and has to be considered off his last winning mark. Tukhoom has also fallen below his last winning mark and has to be taken seriously.
