9/1
Fairly useful hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Warwick a month ago and he's worthy of interest from a handy mark.

6/1
Runner-up in an Irish point and promising start when fifth in a warm Ascot novice in November. Disappointed since but good chance he can get back on track switched to handicaps.

9/2
Dual course winner who failed to build on a successful return at Warwick in September. Fresh from 6 months off and should be well tuned up, so one to note.

17/2
Bumper winner who opened her hurdling account in a weak race at Market Rasen (18.6f) last May. Yet to build on that but goes handicapping now.

Fair handicap hurdler who ran poorly back from a 7-month break at Wincanton last time, leaving him with a bit to prove.

15/8
Still not fully exposed and, having scored at Southwell a year ago, returned with another improved showing when second at Warwick. More to come and should take the beating in a first-time tongue strap.

17/2
Lightly-raced maiden who hasn't fired yet in handicaps but leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in him when the market speaks in his favour.

Third in a pair of handicaps around 19f in the autumn. Hasn't really fired since but mark is becoming more appealing.

Forecasts

Midnight Gold (15/8), Alexandra Romanov (9/2), Ballyfinn (6/1), Sam's Amour (7/1), Stowaway Jess (17/2), Illogical Logic (17/2), Sambezi (9/1), Bobalot (14/1), Sermando (50/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT GOLD is going the right way and a tongue strap may eke out further improvement, so she's preferred to Stowaway Jess, whose bumper form gives her some scope for better now handicapping. Ballyfinn is another interesting handicap debutant.
