11/2
Veteran who looked unlucky not to finish closer when third at Salisbury on penultimate start last month. Not in same form when ninth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not one to write off.

Had a productive 2023, winning twice (including here) and shaped as if needing the run following 13 months off when last of 8 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago, weakening quickly under 4f out. This should reveal more.

4/1
C&D winner who has thrived upon joining present stable this term, making it 4 wins from 7 starts in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f) 16 days ago. Should go well again nudged up 1 lb.

66/1
Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Ran well (following wind op) when runner-up over 18f at Pontefract in June but ran no sort of race when last of 5 in handicap at this course (16.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Steps back down in trip here.

7/2
Seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good, 13/8) 17 days ago, possibly finding the race coming too soon. Drops in grade now and would be dangerous if allowed his own way on the front end.

4/1
Remains a maiden but shaping up well, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f) 2 weeks ago, caught further back than the others in the frame. Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice and he's one to bear in mind.

2/1
Overcame a pace bias at Doncaster in May and creditable efforts all 4 starts since, second of 5 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) despite not having the race run to suit 5 days ago. Likely player.

Monsieur Melee (2/1), Open Secret (7/2), Lincoln Rockstar (4/1), Elemental Eye (4/1), Croeso Cymraeg (11/2), The Nu Form Way (33/1), Weddell Sea (66/1)

Verdict

Having opened his account at Doncaster in May, MONSIEUR MELEE has remained in form in defeat since, finishing a good second in a race not run to suit at Ripon 2 weeks ago. He looks a big player from the same mark. Elemental Eye has been shaping up well and is feared, whilst Open Secret would be a danger to all if getting his own way on the front end. Lincoln Rockstar can't be discounted either.
