Golden Circet^v⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 75| DWS

11/1

Has had a breathing operation (also has visor refitted) following a modest fourth of 6 on handicap hurdle bow last time, and he may do better back on the Flat given his solid recent record when contesting this grade.

Form: 0373-35

Perfect Scoundrel²¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 74

5/1

Wasn't disgraced when fourth of 9 on handicap debut at Sandown in September, and though his yard has had success with this family, he shapes as though longer trips may be more his bag.

Form: 6244-

Spaceport^h,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: T Lacey| OR: 74

33/1

Has shaped with little encouragement in either Flat start for current yard.

Form: 0848/87

Harlington⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 73| CD

3/1

Steadily-improving sort won over C&D on second start for new yard before making it a hat-trick with consecutive victories at Chelmsford. In a slightly higher grade here and likely to prove popular in the market with Tom Marquand taking over.

Form: 20-2111

(10)

Double Red²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 72| D

4/1

Winner on seasonal reappearance last season and improved (despite showing a lazy streak) when notching a third of the year at Epsom in September. Only fifth of 10 in a stronger race at Nottingham the following month but capable if on a going day here.

Form: 153815-

(6)

Victors Spirit^h⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: N B King| OR: 72

13/2

Low-mileage 5-y-o showed much improved form in a first-time hood to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell but contests a deeper race this time.

Form: 0-561

(7)

The Hare Rail^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 70

7/2

Remains a maiden despite another creditable effort when fourth of 11 at Bath last time, though the step up in trip (half-brother a useful middle-distance winner) could unlock a breakthrough success.

Form: 2834-54

(3)

Edward Sexton²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 67

22/1

Fairly useful bumper winner showed a bit more when seventh of 8 in a novice won by Constitution Hill at Kempton (1½m), and though the switch to handicaps will suit, he may need longer trips to realise his potential.

Form: 677-7

(9)

Forca Timao^h,t⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: M Pattinson| OR: 61

22/1

Still operating below his best when fourth of 11 over C&D on latest start and now faces a step back up in grade.

Form: 057-564

King's Hand³³

Weight: 9-3| Age: 4

T: J Parr J: Daniel Muscutt

Forecasts

Harlington (3/1), The Hare Rail (7/2), Double Red (4/1), Perfect Scoundrel (5/1), Victors Spirit (13/2), King's Hand (8/1), Golden Circet (11/1), Forca Timao (22/1), Edward Sexton (22/1), Spaceport (33/1)

A competitive handicap but THE HARE RAIL looks well worth a try over this longer trip, and he's taken to land a belated first success. King's Hand goes well here and looks a danger along with Golden Circet, who'll appreciate a return to this grade.
