Good second of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (8f) 24 days ago, though he hung right entering last 1f. Ought to be in the shake-up in his bid for a maiden victory.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: T Faulkner| OR: 55

50/1, failed to get home when tenth of 13 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 103 days ago. Back down in trip now and can make his presence felt. Cheekpieces refitted.

Reverberation²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: P G Murphy| OR: 51| D

18/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights if back on his A-game.

Marinakis³^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45| D

Low-mileage 5-y-o who opened his account in 9-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (8f) 3 days ago. Looks the one to beat under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 09/807-1

Forecasts

Marinakis (13/8), Kitaro Kich (11/4), Raqraaq (5/1), I Can't Believe (13/2), Rabinal (14/1), Reverberation (14/1), Serious Look (16/1), Takeover Target (25/1)

MARINAKIS took his form up a level when getting off the mark at Chelmsford on Thursday and Ian Williams' low-mileage sort is fancied to quickly add to that under a penalty. Serious Look should prove suited by dropping back in trip here and rates the chief threat, although Kitaro Kich, Raqraaq and I Can't Believe can all have a say too in this competitive handicap.
