Creditable second of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Worth considering back down in grade now he's back in form.

10/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm, 20/1) 29 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time but he may need further assistance from the assessor before becoming of interest.

10/1
3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Last of 8 in handicap back at that venue (5.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 16 days ago. Bounce back certainly not ruled out.

Maiden who showed improved form equipped with first-time blinkers when good second of 9 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, ridden early in straight and keeping on. Expected to be bang there.

9/1
Opened her account on return in a C&D maiden in April. Struggled first 3 starts in handicaps but back on track equipped with a first-time visor when 2 lengths fifth of 10 at Kempton (6f) 5 weeks ago. Needs to prove she can build on that here.

6/1
9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, possibly did too much on the front end when sixth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Remains a maiden but no forlorn hope if ridden with a little more restraint here.

12/1
C&D winner who dispelled a lesser effort back from 8 weeks off when second in a C&D handicap in August. However, proved disappointing when last of 9 back here 3 weeks ago, ridden over 2f out and fading.

Forecasts

Agostino (11/4), Phoenix Glow (7/2), Selina's Star (5/1), Ben Dikduk (11/2), Katar (6/1), Poweredbylove (9/1), Bernard Spierpoint (10/1), Moonlight Dreamer (10/1), Starjik (12/1), Macho Mania (16/1), Tarbet (18/1), Dresden Green (28/1)

Verdict

SELINA'S STAR remains a maiden but she got firmly back on track equipped with first-time blinkers when runner-up in a C&D handicap 21 days ago and she could be the answer provided the headgear has the desired effect once more. Agostino and Phoenix Glow are others fancied to be in the mix.
