25/1
Won at Brighton in April before coming last of 14 in a handicap at Kempton (14/1) 66 days ago, running uncharacteristically poorly after a break. Too soon to write off previous course and distance winner.

Came last of 13 at Kempton (50/1) 26 days ago having blown the start. Something to prove in first-time blinkers.

11/10
Showed modest form in three maiden/novice runs over shorter trips but improved on handicap debut when close second of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5/1) over 11f 8 days ago, pulling clear with winner. Extra distance should suit and he may go one better here.

16/1
Course specialist with 5 Wolverhampton wins who failed to come on for reappearance when 8th of 12 in handicap over 9f (11/2) 25 days ago, not seen to best effect from wide draw. Could be worth another chance over this longer trip (two previous C&D victories).

22/1
Has form on AW with near misses at this course and Kempton last winter, but pulled up in hurdle of 10 at Chepstow (200/1) on hurdle debut 49 days ago. Shouldn't lack for fitness and return to this track will suit.

Won at Lingfield (10f) 33 days ago with two placed efforts before that, then finished third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 26 days ago, racing freely but no match for handicap blot. Consistent sort should be in the mix again.

Knocking on the door of late. Dead-heated in 13-runner handicap at Kempton (4/1) 26 days ago but demoted to second after hanging right. Should be in the mix.

Modest performer in novice runs, fourth of 5 at Lingfield (20/1) on stable 33 days ago. Markedly longer trip/switch to handicaps offers some cause of optimism.

Multiple C&D winner who finished fifth of 12 in handicap here (12/1) 25 days ago, running creditably to finish mid-field but never threatening. Below latest winning mark now.

Yet to make an impact for new yard, finishing 7th of 14 in handicap at Southwell (16/1) 8 days ago when failing to come on for stable debut. May prove a different proposition with first-time visor applied.

Better effort than previous start finishing sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (28/1) 9 days ago, failed to stay at 14f. Wearing blinkers for the first time and should be suited by drop back in trip.

12/1
Has one win from 18 starts with better efforts in last two runs. Fifth of 12 in handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton (7/1) 25 days ago, running creditably despite laboured racing style. On a handy mark and could build on recent encouraging efforts if handling this step back up in trip.

Forecasts

So Alex (11/10), Electric Bass (9/4), Hackney Diamonds (12/1), Ravens King (14/1), Sir Laurence Graff (14/1), Moon Over The Sea (16/1), Fascinating Shadow (16/1), Rosco Rogers (22/1), Seraphic (25/1), Starfighter (28/1), Harry The Haggler (28/1), Pysanka (50/1)

Verdict

SO ALEX showed significant improvement on handicap debut when runner-up at Southwell, pulling clear with the winner, and should be well suited by this extra distance. Hackney Diamonds has shown better form in recent runs despite a laboured racing style and may appreciate the return to a longer trip. Sir Laurence Graff is consistent and should be competitive again if settling, while Fascinating Shadow could prove a different proposition in first-time blinkers.
