Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

9/1

Sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton over 6f (20/1) 3 days ago, slowly into stride and never threatening. Needs to improve starting behaviour to have a realistic chance.

Form: 702546

Gustav Graves⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 60| CD

11/4

Course specialist with 6 course and distance wins, won here 40 days ago and narrowly beaten into second 19 days ago. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course and distance (9/2) 5 days ago when below form. Remains feasibly treated based on recent course and distance win.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P S McEntee| OR: 58| CD

4/1

Course specialist with 4 wins at Wolverhampton, including 2 over this course and distance. Won a handicap at Lingfield Park (7/1) in a field of 8, 11 days ago with visor back on, pouncing late to wear down the front runner. Likely to be competitive again given recent strong form.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Herrington| OR: 57| D

13/2

Modest form since sole win, finishing eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (28/1) 47 days ago when taking another step in right direction. First run for new trainer. May build on recent encouraging efforts at this track.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 55| C| D

40/1

Won at Chepstow over 5f on turf 110 days ago, but less impressive on AW, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (80/1) 14 days ago, making some late inroads with cheekpieces. Likely to need improvement to be competitive.

10/1

Won at Hamilton in September and since finished second twice including when beaten ¾ length by Street Life over C&D (20/1) 12 days ago, not having the clearest of runs. Could go one better with a clear passage.

Secret Road^h¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: James Owen| OR: 51

9/2

Forecasts

Gustav Graves (11/4), Alafdhal (4/1), Secret Road (9/2), Sultan Of Oj (11/2), Amerjeet (13/2), Spendmore Lane (9/1), Sir Benedict (10/1), Some Nightmare (40/1), Second Collection (50/1), Daley T (66/1)

ALAFDHAL is a course specialist with 4 Wolverhampton wins who pounced late to score at Lingfield 11 days ago with visor back on. He looks primed to follow up. Gustav Graves has notched 6 course and distance wins but was below form here 5 days ago. Secret Road is inconsistent lately though the drop back in trip may suit better.
