4/1
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1) 38 days ago, not clear run. Would have a leading chance off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 50/1) 29 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others make more appeal.

5/1
Latest win at Newcastle in November. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there.

9/2, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) when last seen in September. Likely to find one or two too good.

Three wins from 6 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 64 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

First run since leaving K. R. Burke when bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 29 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive.

25/1
Very good fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Something to find on form.

Forecasts

Time Tested (11/8), Epictetus (4/1), Knockbrex (5/1), Melek Alreeh (7/1), Sheriff's Court (8/1), Midnight Rumble (12/1), Jodhpur Blue (25/1), Alpine Oasis (25/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to KNOCKBREX, who regained the winning thread when returning from a break at Newcastle in November and his subsequent third in a Lingfield handicap was respectable. Time Tested won decisively over C&D last time and is a big threat up 4 lb. If back to something like his best Epictetus would also have a chance.

  1. Knockbrex5/1

  3. Epictetus4/1
