Last of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 77 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Would be no surprise were he to bounce back with a big run.

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 6/1, 7 lengths eighth of 9 to Lothian in handicap at Kempton (5f) 16 days ago, not much room. Back to a potentially lenient mark.

8/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 37 days ago. Has good chance on form and looks to be on a workable mark. Big shout.

9/1
Latest win at Catterick in August. First run since leaving Ollie Pears when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 17/2) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive.

Course winner. First run since leaving Iain Jardine when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 28 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Show Me A Sunset (9/4), Golden Dragon (7/2), La Roca Del Fuego (5/1), Lothian (11/2), Michaels Choice (7/1), Dark Side Prince (8/1), Blissful Song (9/1), Nubough (12/1), Secretfact (16/1), Storm Melody (22/1), Smokey (28/1), Eastern Delight (150/1)

Verdict

MICHAELS CHOICE hasn't scored for over a year but he's now 3 lb below his last winning mark and looks ready to strike after a solid third at Wolverhampton. Dark Side Prince is an admirable sort and he won't be far away. Golden Dragon makes some appeal returning to Stuart Williams too.
