11/1
4 wins from 14 runs this year. Hinted at a revival when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 16 days ago. Very much one to consider off a slipping mark.

5/2
Lightly-raced sort who scored at Kempton in September. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when only seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 2/1) 82 days ago but worth another chance for leading yard.

50/1
Last of 6 in claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 50 days ago. Landed 10f handicaps at Bath and Nottingham on his previous two runs though so can't be discounted back in this sphere.

Forecasts

Port Of London (5/2), Gilet (5/2), Hitched (7/2), Knockbrex (9/1), Mr Baloo (11/1), Shrimp Shady (12/1), Party Island (14/1), Joolianoss (20/1), Annexation (50/1), Shahbaz (150/1)

Verdict

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with MR BALOO to build on his recent Wolverhampton seventh and bag a fifth success of 2025. Both Hitched and Gilet figure on handy-looking marks and can chase home Richard Hannon's top-weight in that order. Party Island completes the shortlist.
