Successful at this C&D in August and left behind a lesser effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 26 days ago. More needed if he's to get back to winning ways.

Confirmed promise of previous effort when gaining a first handicap success in 13-runner contest at Southwell (6.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago, finishing strongly as he overcame being drawn widest. Major player in his current form.

Hasn't kicked on since his win at Leicester in June, though met trouble final 1f when tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 12/1) a month ago. Back down to last winning mark and he's not discounted given another try at 6f.

Won maiden at Southwell (6.1f) final start last year. In first-time cheekpieces, back to form when second of 10 in handicap at the same C&D (8/1) 26 days ago, a race which has produced 3 next-time-out winners. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Having not been seen to best effect on previous outing, improved when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/2) 2 months ago, keeping on well to lead post. Could have more to offer now that she's up and running.

C&D winner last year and, having dropped in the weights, doubled her tally when winning 9-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, heavy, 14/1) 36 days ago. Can give another good account as she goes back up in trip.

Having shown promise in his qualifying runs, raced closer to the strong pace than ideal when fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/4) 19 days ago. Blinkers now added back down in trip and he remains with potential.

Won maiden at this C&D in May and made the frame in handicaps next 2 starts. After a couple of below-par efforts, not discredited when second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 19 days ago. Needs to get back on the up.

C&D winner last year and also landed handicap at Newmarket in May. However, form has gone the wrong way, last of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 16/1) 37 days ago. Has had wind op since with cheekpieces applied.

Forecasts

Sensorium (11/4), Heaven Knows (9/2), Fan Mail (5/1), Maui Breeze (7/1), So Sassy (12/1), Winchurch (12/1), My Mate Kev (12/1), Correspondence (12/1), Zabeel Road (14/1), Fiorella Princess (18/1)

Verdict

The latest race in the series can go to FAN MAIL, who overcame the widest draw when getting back to winning ways at Southwell 20 days ago. He is developing a good record on all-weather and is taken to follow up, with Correspondence feared most having had excuses on handicap debut last time, ahead of So Sassy who got off the mark on her latest outing.
