Promising sort. Winner at Leicester (6f) in July. Ran too badly to be true at Yarmouth later that month and remains with potential. Gelded since last run.

Latest win at Southwell in September. Ran right up recent best when creditable second of 9 in handicap (7/1) over C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Races off same mark and must enter calculations.

C&D winner. 9/2, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 39 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Consistent sort who made the frame again when good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is one for the shortlist.

In excellent form during the summer, winning back-to-back handicaps (6f & 7f) at Lingfield Park. Returns to action off 6 lb higher mark but must be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Hunky Dory (6/4), Hierarchy (16/5), Expert Agent (8/1), Express Train (9/1), City Cyclone (12/1), Wodao (12/1), Distant Rumble (12/1), Prodigal Son (12/1), Comedian Leader (50/1)

Verdict

HUNKY DORY found some improvement when runner-up at Newcastle last week and can race off the same mark here. He gets the nod. Comedian Leader and Hierarchy may provide the chief threat.

  1. Hunky Dory6/4
  2. Comedian Leader50/1
  3. Hierarchy16/5
