6/1
Made it 2 wins from 4 starts when landing a 9-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago by ¾ length from Cloud King (who was denied clear run). Should remain competitive up 3 lb.

11/2
Well-bred gelding who doubled his tally when readily landing the Brighton Bullet handicap (6f) in August. Disappointed on 2 subsequent starts, latest on AW debut. Too early to write off given who trains him.

Promising reappearance when second at York in May but hasn't gone on from that, for all he may have needed the run after 9 weeks off when 11/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago, merely closing up late. Needs to bounce back.

4/1
C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Denied a clear run when ¾-length second of 9 to Alligator Alley in handicap at Southwell (5f, 10/1) 13 days ago, running on late and unlucky not to win. Fancied to reverse that form on better terms.

11/8
Speedy C&D winner. Placed in better race off higher mark over this C&D in the summer and got back on track following a 3-month break when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. May get the run of the race and makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark (due to go up 2 lb).

9/1
C&D winner 8/1, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f) 21 days ago, bouncing back to form on return to all-weather. Should hold his own upped in grade.

12/1
Two-time 5f scorer for Alice Haynes in 2024. Shaped well on second start for excellent new yard (despite being friendless in betting) finishing third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago (1½l behind Almaty Star). Should be in the mix again.

28/1
Out of sorts of late, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) 23 days ago but on a handy mark and worth a market check with cheekpieces on for first time (yard also saddle Alfa Whiteburd).

Forecasts

Almaty Star (11/8), Cloud King (4/1), Another Abbot (11/2), Alligator Alley (6/1), Diomed Spirit (9/1), Solvency (12/1), Alfa Whiteburd (28/1), Nazron (28/1)

Verdict

Recent C&D runner-up ALMATY STAR could get the run of the race here and still looks well treated off an unchanged mark (due to go up 2 lb). Stablemate Cloud King looked unlucky behind Alligator Alley at Southwell and has solid claims to reverse that form on better terms, while Solvency hasn't been long with the excellent James Owen yard and shaped encouragingly when 1½ lengths third (behind Almaty Star) here last time.
