10/3
Consistent performer with three consecutive runner-up finishes in handicaps during August and September. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (9/1) 17 days ago, held up and made no impression when shaken up in the straight. This represents a drop in class.

20/1
Won over 14f at Southwell in January and finished fifth of 12 in handicap back there (40/1) 16 days ago, possibly needing the run starting out for new yard. Visor now removed for return to staying trip.

17/2
Consistent performer in handicaps who finished second of 6 over 16.5f at this course (17/2) 14 days ago, staying on well after being outpaced. That is a slight concern dropped in trip but he's fairly reliable at this level.

11/1
C&D winner who was fourth of 7 in handicap back here in January, not disgraced under the circumstances when facing competition for the lead. Much depends on whether he's fully wound up for this return.

5/1
Has shown promise on AW with a second and third at Southwell but disappointed when 11th of 12 in handicap debut at Catterick (15/2) on turf 21 days ago. Returns to AW which should be in his favour tackling a new trip.

Good spell on the AW around the turn of the year. Seventh of 13 in AW handicap at Kempton (11/1) 10 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Returns to Wolverhampton with cheekpieces back on.

6/1
More effective on AW, winning a tactical 16.5f handicap at this course (9/2) 11 days ago, good progress entering straight before quickening to lead in the final furlong. Likely to remain competitive on return to a shorter trip.

5/2
Third in novice at Haydock before finishing fourth of 6 in handicap at Sandown in July. First run on AW and capable of better as stamina is fully tapped into (brother to smart stayer Coltrane).

Forecasts

Earnest Belief (5/2), Artisan Dancer (10/3), Aajej (5/1), Francesco Baracca (6/1), Patrol (8/1), Percy Jones (8/1), Diamond Bay (17/2), Parramount (11/1), Pleasant Man (20/1), Further Measure (50/1), Fleurman (150/1)

Verdict

PERCY JONES has proven himself a course specialist with four wins and is taken to regain the winning thread at his favourite venue with this step back up in trip in his favour. Artisan Dancer has been kept busy but this is a pretty big drop in class, while Francesco Baracca enters the reckoning given his AW profile.
