6/1
Ran best race for current connections when third of 6 at Doncaster (12/1) after 7 months off in May. Finished 5th of 6 in falsely-run handicap over 14.5f back here 19 days ago, having been patiently ridden and unable to quicken. Back down in trip should suit and looks a big player.

15/8
Typically gave her running when fourth of 12 in Chester handicap over 15.9f (4/1) 5 days ago, making the running before being headed and running one-paced. Now trying shorter trip and she's likely to give it another good go.

9/1
Going through the motions in handicaps, sixth of 10 at Ripon (16/5) 7 days ago. First-time cheekpieces and return to longer trip could spark improvement, though.

Consistent performer at Hamilton Park with four course wins. Finished third of 8 in a handicap here (7/2) 32 days ago, taking a strong hold and keeping on despite being short of room. Return to this trip no issue.

5/1

11/1
Held on gamely when landing 6-runner handicap at Ayr in October. Fitter for reappearance when third of 8 in a 17f handicap at Carlisle (11/1) 6 days ago, proving stamina at the longer trip. Back down in trip and up in class here.

Forecasts

Dreams Adozen (15/8), Sea Legend (9/2), Two Auld Pals (5/1), Haptics (6/1), Spanish Hustle (9/1), Tokyo Bay (9/1), Ebony Maw (11/1), Model Approach (28/1)

Verdict

This represents a slight drop in class for HAPTICS, and with this probably his ideal trip, he's fancied to get off the mark for connections. Two Auld Pals is a reliable proposition over this C&D so he's on the shortlist, along with Sea Legend.
