M J Church Handicap

C&D winner in summer of last year but not scored since and arrives on back of disappointing effort over hurdles. Blinkers back on.

Looked a useful prospect when winning the second of her 2 starts as a juvenile but hasn't built on that since, albeit she may have needed the outing back from 4 months off at Sandown last time. Hood now tried.

Won a soft-ground handicap at Windsor (11.5f) earlier this season but seems to have lost his way more recently, failing to beat a rival home at Kempton latest. Handicapping relenting at least.

Suited by strong pace when opening account at Sandown (10f) in July but wasn't in same form next time and faces a totally different test here.

Left January AW debut well behind when springing an 80/1 surprise in a maiden at Lingfield (11.5f) in August and posted solid fifth on handicap bow at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) since. More required to take a hand here but he remains low mileage.

Fair form in a trio of starts as a juvenile and run to a similar level in handicaps this summer, latest when good fourth at Sandown (14f, heavy) in August. Respected.

Lightly-raced maiden who has found improvement since upped to middle distances, latest when fifth of 10 in Ascot handicap (12f, good to soft) in July. This longer may suit and he holds solid claims.

Consistent performer who made the frame again when second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, soft, 9/2) 14 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist.

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (14f) in July and acquitted himself well in defeat on next 2 starts. Had excuses at Chelmsford latest and can make presence felt.
