11/1
Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Back up in trip and not one to write off.

10/1
7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 51 days ago, not looking the easiest of rides. Still, his mark has eased a little more at least and he's undergone wind surgery ahead of this.

7/2
Thrived in recent weeks, completing the hat-trick with any amount in hand over 2m here on penultimate outing 17 days ago. Shaped as if still in good form for a long way when third at Catterick (12f, heavy) latest and she rates a likely player again.

50/1, first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when sixth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 9 days ago, not knocked about. This ought to reveal more.

Dual winner last season, latterly at York (2m) in September. Winless in 6 starts so far this year, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) when last seen in July. This trip may be on the short side back from 98 days off.

Course winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win here in September. 7/1, good 1¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Percy Willis in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, plenty to do under 2f out and staying on gradually. Not out of things.

Verdict

AWARD DANCER looked value for a little extra over the bare result when capitalising on his reduced mark at Redcar 23 days ago and, boasting a solid record at this venue, he's expected to go well again dropped in trip. Valley of Flowers has thrived in recent weeks and she's a threat back on AW. Strawman is another fancied to be in the mix.
