4/1
Seventeen runs since last win over C&D in 2021. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago, the run of the race not suiting. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and drop in grade a plus.

10/3
4-time C&D winner (including this race 12 months ago). Strong in betting, posted a career-best display when adding to his tally with plenty to spare here 31 days ago and no surprise to see him firmly in the mix once more.

Ended time with Roger Varian with success at Kempton (12f) in October but shade disappointing when coming home last of 10 on yard debut here (14f) 33 days ago, albeit the steady gallop not helping. Significantly down in trip now.

5/2
Promising type who continued theme of race-by-race progress when completing hat-trick on handicap debut at Lingfield (10f) 3 weeks ago, again displaying a likeable attitude. Highly likely there's more to come on the back of just 4 career starts. Big shout.

11/1
Course winner. 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Present mark demands that little bit more.

3/1
Hit the ground running for this yard making it 3 wins from first 4 starts over 8.6f here in October. Excuses on turf at Newmarket next time but quickly back on track, second behind one firmly on the up at Chelmsford (10f) 19 days ago. Likely he'll be thereabouts.

28/1
Course winner who ran best race for a while when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 7/2) 31 days ago, challenging final 100 yds and keeping on. Has since switched yards but her slow starting means she's come with risks attached.

40/1
100/1, first run since leaving A. & G. Botti/16 months off, shaped as if better for the run when eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) on UK debut 19 days ago. Eased 4 lb since and this should reveal more.

Forecasts

Light Speed (5/2), King's Code (3/1), Civil Law (10/3), Felix (4/1), Pearl Eye (11/1), Sonnerie Power (16/1), Jilly Cooper (28/1), Law Supreme (40/1)

Verdict

LIGHT SPEED's theme of race-by-race progress continued as he brought up the hat-trick at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and, with the likelihood of more to come, he can make another bold bid on the front end. Civil Law landed this race 12 months ago and looked as good as ever when successful over C&D recently so he's feared. Felix and King's Code complete the shortlist.

  1. Light Speed5/2
