12/1
Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 19 days ago, staying on. One to bear in mind on the back of that.

7/2
Won back-to-back races in June and returned to that sort of form when good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 11/2) 15 days ago. Fancied to be in the thick of things again.

11/2
5-time course winner who also added to his tally over hurdles at Southwell (15.8f) in June. Remained in good heart since, twice a runner-up in turf handicaps on the Flat prior to a good third in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f) 18 days ago. Likely he can feature again in refitted visor.

2/1
Maiden who bounced back to something like his best taking on his elders for the first time when creditable second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 32 days ago. Hit with a 3 lb rise for that but he's still unexposed granted this sort of test.

4/1
Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 7/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 16 days ago, finding only a well-treated handicap debutante too good. Entitled to be competitive again over this longer trip.

5/1
Winner at Haydock in May. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (9/2) at this course (14f) 7 days ago, no extra final 50 yds. That looks solid form for the grade and he can't be discounted in an open-looking heat.

Forecasts

Kingmaker (2/1), Curran (7/2), Telecommunication (4/1), Is I Right (5/1), Carlton (11/2), Obsidian Knight (12/1)

Verdict

None of the six can be dismissed lightly but 3-y-o KINGMAKER got right back to his best when runner-up over shorter at Southwell 32 days ago and with the Andrew Balding yard continuing in fine form, he could be the answer. Curran and Telecommunication are just 2 possible dangers.

  1. Kingmaker2/1
  2. Curran7/2
  3. Telecommunication4/1
