Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to soft, 6/1) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

20/1
Capitalised on a falling mark in 8-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft, 11/4) 10 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but he's very much one to consider.

2/1
Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when winning 9-runner novice at Kempton (12f, 16/5) 23 days ago, just holding on. Makes tapeta/handicap debut and can make his presence felt.

7/2
Landed 1m2f maiden here in September before posting a very good third of 7 in novice at Ascot (12f, good, 25/1) 35 days ago. That form is working out well so she's very much one to consider on her handicap debut.

C&D winner. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 1 day ago, having run of race. Back up in trip. Shortlist material.

10/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 29 days ago. Up 3 lb but showed a good attitude there so must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Bahadur (2/1), Winter Flower (7/2), Molinari (5/1), Moon Sniper (11/2), Imperial Sovereign (10/1), Love Talk (12/1), Midnight Lion (14/1), Machete (20/1), Gibside (20/1), Skycutter (100/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but MOLINARI scored twice here last autumn (one over C&D) and continues in fine form, so if he's turned out again quickly he could be the way to go. Recent Kempton victor Bahadur heads the list of dangers, while Winter Flower, Moon Sniper and Gibside all command plenty of respect too.
