15/2
9/2, won 11-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago by short head from Existent, suited by way race developed. More needed up 3 lb in this hat-trick bid, but he's clearly in good nick.

9/1
15/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. 4 lb rise not the end of the world and return to 6f no problem either, so he's one for the shortlist.

Winner at Lingfield in September. Wasn't disgraced on debut for new yard in the 5f handicap here won by Havana Rum recently, but others make more appeal all the same.

Three wins from 18 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in September. Creditable second of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 4/1) 55 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly.

Won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (11/4) 14 days ago. Remains on a workable mark back up 3 lb, but one or two of the others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Forecasts

Mesaafi (10/3), Existent (4/1), Cherry Cobbler (13/2), Charlie Mason (7/1), Justcallmepete (15/2), Havana Rum (9/1), Sensorium (9/1), Tyger Bay (14/1), Dark Side Thunder (16/1), Giant (22/1), Em Four (25/1), Emperor Spirit (25/1), Panelli (40/1), General Assembly (66/1)

Verdict

Though MESAAFI has proved expensive to follow of late, he has slipped back to the mark off which he landed handicaps over this C&D and at Lingfield in June. The 4-y-o is taken to resume winning ways, with the consistent Charlie Mason second choice ahead of Tyger Bay, who wasn't able to get a good early position following a slow start in the C&D handicap won by Justcallmepete last month.
