11/4
Course winner who got his head back in front at Beverley in August. Has run well on all-weather last 2 starts, third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 9/1) last month, and he can give another good account dropped in grade.

Showed improved form when getting back to winning ways at this C&D in September. Not in the same form when fourth of 7 in handicap back here (8f, 9/4) 57 days ago, but he could bounce back returned to this longer trip.

Course winner. Returned to form when runner-up here (12.5f) in September, before shuffled back around 2f out when fifth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 weeks ago. May still proved vulnerable to his younger rivals.

Doubled her tally at Down Royal in June. Off 12 weeks ahead of first outing since leaving Henry De Bromhead, shaped as if needing the run when last of 6 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

C&D winner who opened account for the year at Doncaster in June. Below form both starts the following month, though, in first-time tongue strap when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 25/1) final outing. Has had wind op since.

Fairly useful winner for Charlie Appleby but has struggled in handicaps for current yard this year, tried in tongue strap when tenth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft, 150/1) 36 days ago. Up in trip.

Only win came over C&D winner on this season's return. Not seen to best effect a couple of times of late, before found to have bled when last of 7 in handicap here (8f, 18/5) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip with hood reapplied.

Sole success came at Doncaster in April. She arrives in decent heart, though, in first-time blinkers when fourth of 13 in handicap back at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 4/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration returned to all-weather.

20/1
Hasn't gone on from debut in 2 subsequent outings, but possibly needed the run after 5 months off (gelded) when sixth of 7 in novice at this course (7.1f, 15/8) 3 weeks ago. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time and he can do better upped in trip for handicap bow.

After 13 months off, shaped very well upped in trip for handicap debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October. Possibly found the race coming too soon when fifth of 9 at the same C&D (5/4) 9 days later, so he's well worth another chance.

Successful off a career-low mark at Pontefract in June. Form has been mixed of late, though, lesser effort when seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 26 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

King's Hand (11/4), Light Speed (11/4), Sea Legend (9/2), Harswell Ruby (13/2), Bearwith (7/1), Izzari (8/1), King Chaos (8/1), Haveyoumissedme (10/1), Etretat (14/1), The English Rogue (20/1), Desert Emperor (22/1), Golspie (28/1), Present Times (33/1), Letiza (50/1)

Verdict

KING'S HAND showed improved form when a never-nearer second at Wolverhampton on seasonal/handicap debut and, having had a possible excuse last time, he is taken to resume his progress to get off the mark. The English Rogue remains with potential now handicapping so he is another to note, with Harswell Ruby completing the shortlist.
