11/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 7/2, below form third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Disappointing both starts this year so others preferred for all that he's gone well here.

3/1

2 wins from 3 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 29 days ago. Firmly on the up and fully expected to give another good account.

20/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 88 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

16/1

Last of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 11/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn. Starts out for a shrewd yard and warrants a market check.

Form: 348850-

40/1

Forecasts

Showalong (3/1), King Of The Jungle (3/1), Sir Benedict (7/2), Brownlee (10/1), John Kirkup (11/1), Exceed (11/1), Prospect (14/1), Kyber Crystal (16/1), Mrs Trump (20/1), Protest Rally (25/1), Irish Dancer (40/1)

SHOWALONG ran well in a better handicap than this when second at Pontefract last time and he's already tasted course success, so he's a solid option ahead of the improving King of The Jungle. Exceed also makes plenty of appeal.
