2/1

2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (4/1) at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Big shout in hat-trick bid under a penalty on that evidence from good draw.

28/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 8/1) in August, drawn wider than ideal and involved in early scrimmaging. Possibly best watched on return from 9 months off.

40/1

3-time C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 14/1) in September, left behind under 2f out. May be better for the run here following an 8-month absence.

18/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 50/1). Off 6 months. Switch to handicaps rates more suitable but would need to see market confidence behind her to make her of interest.

22/1

One win from 42 Flat runs. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago, plugging on. Needs to build on that now.

10/1

7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) in November, weakening over 1f out. Return to sprinting should aid his cause back from 6 months off.

Forecasts

Voodoo Ray (2/1), Malham Tarn Cove (7/2), Midnight Flame (7/1), Sisters In The Sky (15/2), My Kind Of Girl (10/1), Mellys Flyer (14/1), Bluebells Boy (14/1), Liberty Bay (16/1), Malinheadsearovers (16/1), Alainn Tu (18/1), Darkened Edge (18/1), Autumn Flight (22/1), Lion Ring (22/1), Lynwood Lad (22/1), Savalas (28/1), More Than Likely (40/1), Close Of Play (66/1)

VOODOO RAY has returned in fine form, landing each of his last 2 starts at Brighton up to 7f, and he's fancied to handle this drop back in trip and make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick under a penalty. Sisters In The Sky and My Kind of Girl are others to consider, whilst Bluebells Boy is another who needs monitoring back on turf.
