C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 10 days ago, headed over 1f out and keeping on. Not out of things for all he may face competition on the front end.

C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, 9/1) 17 days ago. Return to this trip will help on that evidence.

9/2
Latest win over C&D in November and ran right up to best when runner-up at Southwell (1m) on penultimate start. Better than distance beaten suggests when seventh of 9 in handicap back here (1m) 11 days ago and worth a chance back at 7f.

28/1
Latest win at Ayr (7.2f) in September. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, slowly into stride and never landing a blow. Mark has eased a little more and return to 7f may well help.

Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, possibly helped by the way the race developed.

Bounced back to somewhere near best when third over C&D in September. Shaped as if needing run (also had wind surgery) back from 4 months off here 2 weeks ago and he's not one to write off yet.

28/1
Latest win at Pontefract in September. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Catterick (7f, heavy) in October, never involved. Begins new year on a potentially handy mark so interesting if market speaks in his favour.

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (3/1) back at that venue (6.1f) 15 days ago, hanging left and no extra late on. Back up in trip now.

7/1
6-time C&D winner who has been resurgent in refitted blinkers, completing quick-fire hat-trick at Southwell (7f) 8 days ago, comfortably on top late on. Up in class here but he can't be discounted in this groove under a 4 lb penalty.

Course winner who was well backed and again found only one too good in 7-runner 5f handicap here 8 days ago. Versatile as regards trip but he does need things to drop just right.

Forecasts

Sir Maxi (4/1), Star Zinc (9/2), Gobi Sunset (11/2), Bobby Joe Leg (7/1), Abruzzo Mia (15/2), Rory (8/1), Alexander James (9/1), Emperor Caradoc (12/1), Kats Bob (16/1), Arranmore (22/1), Global Spirit (28/1), Cold Stare (28/1)

Verdict

Having finished runner-up behind a course-specialist at Southwell on his penultimate start, STAR ZINC shaped much better than the bare result over 1m here 11 days ago, pulling hard and having no cover on the flank. He's worth another chance to confirm his present mark workable and earns the vote back at 7f. The thriving Bobby Joe Leg heads up the dangers, with Abruzzo Mia and Alexander James others to note.

  1. Star Zinc9/2
  2. Bobby Joe Leg7/1
  3. Abruzzo Mia15/2
