Koropick gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Davey Boy and 6f winner Muddy Lynn. Dam 11f/1½m winner. Unlikely type on paper and he's passed over on this belated debut.

9/2
Acclamation gelding who was friendless in the betting but pleasing start nevertheless when third of 6 in a C&D novice in September, finding the penny dropping late on. Likely he can do better with that under his belt.

Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, second of 9 in novice at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago, doing his best work late on. Return to 7f firmly in his favour on that evidence and he's not out of things.

4/1
Shaman colt who continued his run of placed efforts when second of 8 in novice (4/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 29 days ago. Form appears to have plateaued, but he sets a fair standard and may well prove the one to beat.

50,000 gns New Bay colt who failed to repeat the form of his C&D debut fourth despite filling same spot in 9-runner novice at Southwell (1m) in June. However, in good hands and gelded thereafter, so feasible to think he can get back on the up.

Showcasing filly. From a good family for connections, closely related to useful 6f-7f winner Doctor Khan Junior and 7f winner Margot Robbie and half-sister to useful 6f winner Pocklington. Makes appeal on paper and noteworthy if the market spoke in her favour on debut.

Dragon Dancer filly. Dam third at 1m out of twice-raced half-sister to very smart 1½m winner (stayed 16.5f) Count Octave. Likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

The English Rogue (15/8), Glamorous Angela (7/2), Shamacid (4/1), Bloodsweatandtyres (9/2), Pension Pot (5/1), Furdy (66/1), Al Muddy (80/1), Ideal Attraction (125/1)

Verdict

SHAMACID continued his run of placed efforts when runner-up in a Southwell novice over this trip 4 weeks ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him get off the mark in a contest lacking much in the way of depth. The English Rogue back from a break/gelding operation and Bloodsweatandtyres can provide the chief threats, whilst Glamorous Angela is worth a check in the betting on debut for clues.
