9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 29 days ago, always holding on. This course scorer is in the picture again.

6/1
Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 10/3, fair fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 64 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Possibilities.

Good third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 22/1) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly with that form having been franked.

18/1
Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 12 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Shortlisted now back up in trip.

5/2
C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 8 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so can go well again despite taking a 5 lb rise.

Forecasts

Artisan Dancer (5/2), Red Flyer (10/3), Spartan Army (6/1), First Emperor (8/1), Moliwood (8/1), Apparate (9/1), Barenboim (12/1), Zoran (18/1), Haliphon (18/1)

Verdict

BARENBOIM hinted at a revival when eighth at Southwell last time so this course winner is taken to capitalise on a reduced mark at the chief expense of recent Newcastle scorer Artisan Dancer. In-form pair Moliwood and Red Flyer both need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
