5/1
Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 15 days ago, staying on well. More will be needed if he's to go one better here.

8/1
C&D winner. 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and merits respect in his hat-trick bid.

12/1
Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at this C&D 60 days ago. 5 lb rise for that decisive success is tolerable and she has to enter calculations.

16/1
C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 49 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Now 2 lb below last winning mark but she's not the easiest to catch right.

Winner at Chester in July. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus but improvement needed now tried in cheekpieces.

7/1
C&D winner. Last of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, soft, 7/2) 16 days ago. On a good mark judged on form from earlier in the season and dangerous to discount in a first-time visor.

10/1
C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Remains 2 lb above last winning mark and will probably find a few too good.

7/2
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good) 35 days ago. Has performed well on each of his 4 previous visits here and needs considering off a reduced mark.

Latest win at Bath in July. Last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 34 days ago. On a competitive mark but hard to warm to on the back of his latest effort.

9/2
Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Ffos Las in August. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (5/2) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and he's in with an each-way shout.

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Forecasts

Master Of Combat (7/2), Port Erin (9/2), Francesi (5/1), Venetian (7/1), Princess Niyla (15/2), Ciotog (8/1), Noodle Mission (10/1), Nikki's Girl (12/1), Smiling Sunflower (16/1), Outrace (28/1), Harbour Vision (40/1)

Verdict

NIKKI'S GIRL ran out the decisive winner of a C&D handicap in August and, if resuming in a similar mood following a two-month break, she will take plenty of stopping. Though his recent form figures do not inspire confidence, Master of Combat is interesting back at this course off a reduced mark. He is just about second choice, with Venetian, who has also edged down to an attractive mark, and the hat-trick seeking Ciotog others to consider.
