Course winner. Again ran below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 66/1) 6 weeks ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

14/1
Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Again ran below form when seventh of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 41 days ago, always behind after hampered start. Dropped to a career-low mark today and one to keep an eye on.

33/1, best effort of the season on just second outing for this yard when third of 13 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 4 weeks ago. Could kick on from that effort today.

3/1
16/1, stepped up on reappearance when fifth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Dropped a couple of pounds since and, now back at 1m, he's fancied to be bang there today for his in-form trainer.

4/1
C&D winner. 4 wins from 15 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 8/1) 14 days ago, quickening to lead inside final 1f. Up 6 lb but has to remain of interest in his hat-trick bid.

5-time course winner. 25/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 25 days ago, late headway. Enters calculations with the booking of Tom Marquand catching the eye.

Had a breathing operation/gelded, 10/1, improved after 4 months off when third of 5 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 16 days ago, finishing well. Remains fairly unexposed and he's one for the shortlist.

Just about matched previous form switched to a handicap when sixth of 7 (12/1) at this course (10f, AW) 88 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Plastic Paddy (3/1), La Rav (4/1), One Step Beyond (4/1), Prince Rock (9/2), Noble Peace (9/1), Jade Country (10/1), Eton College (14/1), Vitalline (22/1), Bhubezi (66/1), Optimistic Belief (66/1), Bombastic (66/1), Emulation (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for PLASTIC PADDY. Mick Appleby's charge stepped up on his reappearance when a close fifth over 1¼m at Windsor earlier this month and, now back down in trip today, he's fancied to notch career success number 3. One Step Beyond is sure to be popular in his hat-trick bid but he may have to settle for silver on this occasion, with Eton College another who may have a say in proceedings.
