10/1
One win from 23 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 28/1) 7 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on and he's not one to write off.

4/1
Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 9 days ago, weakening 1f out. Return to turf needs to have positive effect now with the headgear quickly discarded.

Bounced back to form in first-time blinkers when second at Chepstow (1m) in September (final start for Darryll Holland). Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 22 days ago and the blinkers are quickly reapplied. Up in trip.

11/4
Winner at Newcastle in September. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 5/1) 19 days ago, a sluggish start not helping his cause. Rider takes off a handy 3 lb and he's one to consider.

4/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 66/1) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Longer trip may help now with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

5/1
Off the mark at Leicester (8.2f) in July and dispelled a couple of lesser efforts to double his tally at Chelmsford (10f) 3 weeks ago. Effective with give underfoot and claims once more nudged up 2 lb.

Forecasts

The Bobster (11/4), Zenato (4/1), Sense Of Reason (4/1), Imola (4/1), First Encounter (5/1), Commander Crouch (10/1)

Verdict

Having opened his account at Newcastle last month, THE BOBSTER shaped as if still in good form when fifth at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, a sluggish start not helping matters. Still unexposed at this sort of trip, he earns the vote ahead of recent Chelmsford winner First Encounter. Zenato completes the shortlist.
