18/1, found out in better company when eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 17 days ago. Back down in class and certainly not without hope.

Again ran well when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/2) 23 days ago. Shouldn't be long in opening his account so merits consideration.

8/1
Completed hat-trick last month, including over C&D. Had winning run ended but coped admirably with a step up in grade when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 3 days ago. Not taken lightly provided this doesn't come too soon.

Lost his way over hurdles and probably needed the run after 4 months off when last of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 22/1) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on.

Ran no better than respectably despite being better placed than most when sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/1) 4 months ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills (50,000 gns). Tongue strap on 1st time.

11/4
4-time course winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. 13/8, completed hat-trick in straightforward fashion when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (9.5f) 5 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty and should give another bold bid under his talented apprentice.

Course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. 28/1, wasn't seen to best effect when last of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 3 months ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when last of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (7f) when last seen 5 months ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Luke Dace (10,000 gns) and the market should prove informative.

Forecasts

Urban Sprawl (5/2), Paradoxical (11/4), Kingdom Of Time (16/5), Urban Road (8/1), Aljezur (10/1), Get Jiggy With It (14/1), Enthused (18/1), Ciotog (22/1), Local Bay (100/1), Laser Focus (125/1)

Verdict

A few in with a squeak but the prolific PARADOXICAL gets the nod to add a sixth all-weather success of the winter to his tally having bolted up over 9.5f here last Wednesday. Kingdom of Time has been firmly knocking on the door, so Archie Watson's charge heads up the opposition, with Urban Road and Urban Sprawl taken to fight out minor honours.
