16/1
Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Last of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams and the market may prove a useful guide as to expectations.

11/1
Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (11f, 9/1) 31 days ago, racing freely and weakening final 1f. Cheekpieces reached for now down markedly in trip but widest draw doesn't make things easy.

12/1
3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. 11/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 45 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Winner at Chelmsford City in September. Good neck second of 12 to Stoic Syd in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 24 days ago, conceding first run and finishing well. Expected to be bang there.

16/1, best effort for present yard when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Needs to settle better but this drop back to 1m could help.

33/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Lurking on a handy mark and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively.

12/1
One win from 28 Flat runs. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 18/1) 23 days ago, short of room inside final 1f and noted finishing with running left. Not discounted from steadily easing mark.

25/1
Three wins from 6 runs last year. 6/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 144 days. Makes polytrack debut but another with a less-than-ideal draw to contend with.

5/1
C&D winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/2) 49 days ago, dropping away straight. Mark has eased a little more but he's not the easiest to predict now starting out for new yard.

22/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, ran below pick of form when tenth of 13 in a C&D handicap back in October. Absent/undergone wind surgery subsequently and market may prove a useful guide ahead of this.

25/1
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago, doing well to peg back a couple who had been more positively ridden. Possibilities if headgear has desired effect once more.

Forecasts

Egoiste (7/4), Classic Speed (4/1), High Court Judge (5/1), Stoic Syd (5/1), Star Of Sussex (11/1), Handel (12/1), Recuerdame (12/1), Dubai Immo (16/1), Sam's Hope (22/1), The Game Is Up (25/1), Premiership (25/1), Weloof (33/1), Flying Panther (33/1)

Verdict

EGOISTE ran well when just touched off by re-opposing Stoic Syd (the pair well clear) when they met over C&D 24 days ago, doing particularly well having come from a long way back. They look the 2 to concentrate on again, with the former earning the vote to reverse those placings here. The Game Is Up and Handel complete the shortlist.
