20/1

9/1, won 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 26 days ago, digging deep. 3 lb perfectly fair but must prove that he's as effective on the AW.

Form: 527521

40/1

Latest win at Hamilton in June. 5/6, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 149 days but can be a factor again at this level if as effective without usual headgear.

6/1

Visored for first time, good second of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good, 22/1) 51 days ago. Previous AW form pretty uninspiring.

150/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Sixth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (250/1) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut and mark looks too high.

Form: 786

(2)

Hildenley^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

15/2

Latest win at Newcastle in September. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/2) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form from unchanged mark.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 57| D

5/1

Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 43 days ago, rearing up early. Lurks on a dangerous mark so has to be on the shortlist.

Form: 899366

Mzahem^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: Tom Clover| OR: 60

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for first time, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago, though was too free. Cheekpieces now the headgear of choice and he's unexposed.

Form: 5777

Forecasts

Sicario (3/1), Hooves Like Jagger (5/1), Lednikov (6/1), Amourie (6/1), Bakersboy (13/2), Hildenley (15/2), Mzahem (10/1), Miss Clementine (12/1), Red Derek (20/1), Prince Abu (28/1), Ghostly (40/1), Planxty (50/1), Half Nelson (150/1), Isla Diamonds (200/1)

SICARIO has been knocking pretty loudly on the door since joining Mick Appleby and having failed by the narrowest of margins at Wolverhampton last week, is taken to gain compensation from the same mark. Mzahem and Hooves Like Jagger are a couple of threats.
