16/1
Placed on completed start in Irish points and has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind in a trio of quickfire starts this autumn. Capable of better.

7/2
Winner of a Wexford bumper on debut/sole start in Ireland and very much caught eye when second at Plumpton last month, a final-flight mistake proving costly. Leading player from same mark.

Fair winning stayer on the Flat. Showed some ability in this sphere across 3 starts in summer 2021 but shaped as if needing the run after long absence at Worcester 18 days ago. Probably best watched again.

Promising third on handicap bow at Wetherby in February and can be forgiven running down the field at Wincanton last time (stumbled when travelling well). Remains unexposed.

Bumper winner made no impact in a trio of novice hurdles earlier this year but appeals as one to make significant improvement in handicaps from lowly opening mark. Has had a breathing operation.

Still yet to surpass poor form and ran down the field over C&D on her latest start. Tongue strap applied but others preferred.

Poor form in bumpers and only completed once from 3 starts in novice hurdles. Tough to fancy on handicap bow.

Down the field in bumpers and has fared little better over hurdles, failing to beat a rival on handicap debut last time.

Produced his best effort in handicaps when fifth at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) last time but lots more required to win a race like this.

Free-going sort has dropped to sort of mark that would give him frame claims on his best efforts, though still has stamina to prove over this trip.

Forecasts

Captain Claude (2/1), Roger Rarebit (7/2), Henry Box Brown (7/2), Saddlers Quest (10/1), Inferno Sacree (12/1), The Imposter (14/1), Dan Daly (16/1), Blue Shark (20/1), Lion's Vigil (33/1), Good Greef (125/1)

Verdict

HENRY BOX BROWN perhaps should have won at Plumpton last month and has a good opportunity to make amends here. The biggest threat can be posed by the unexposed Roger Rarebit, whilst handicap newcomers Captain Claude and Dan Daly are also respected.
