40/1

Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy). Off 11 months ahead of this debut for new yard and reasonable to expect that he'll come on for the run.

6/1

Latest win at Lingfield in April. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Eased slightly in class and should make his presence felt.

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Ffos Las in August. 3/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 16 days ago. Up in trip and more needed if he's to resume winning ways.

6/5

Promising type. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 20 days ago, well positioned. 3 lb rise fair and this step up in trip could help unlock further improvement.

7/2

Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest win at Chepstow in July. 10/3, last of 6 in handicap at this course (12f, good) 21 days ago. Looks vulnerable off present mark.

12/1

Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Doncaster in June. 15/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Usually reliable and shouldn't be far away if on-song.

Forecasts

Neenee's Choice (6/5), Balearic (7/2), Zuhair (9/2), Fierospeed (6/1), Lady Reset (12/1), Casting Vote (40/1)

The most appealing of these is NEENEE'S CHOICE, who took another step forward when making a winning handicap bow over a mile at Newbury and he probably has more to offer now faced with a stiffer test. Fierospeed is starting to look a shade exposed, but he has acquitted himself well in Class 3 handicaps the last twice and gets the nod ahead of Lady Reset for forecast purposes.
