Age: 5|  Weight: 9-9| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: B I Case| OR:  62
Lightly raced for his age and was a close third at Bath on just his second handicap outing back in September. Well held since, however, including both starts for new yard this season.

Just Jump20
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR:  62| CD
Quirky sort who refused to race in May but landed gamble over C&D the following month. Excuses under a penalty at Newbury next time before an eye-catching third at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Capable of going well again off same mark.

Resumed winning ways dropped into classified company for the first time at Chepstow and proved better than ever when following up back in a handicap at Bath 6 weeks ago. Should remain competitive up 3 lb.

Expensive to follow of late but he was lit up by re-fitted blinkers at Brighton last time and ran well on his previous visit over C&D in June. Worth another chance off a career-low mark.

The Bear Of Saintsh141
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G M O'Shea| OR:  56
Showed ability in maiden/novice events for other yards in 2024. Didn't show much after a 21-month absence on handicap/stable debut at Chepstow in June but left that well behind when third at Leicester the following month, running on from the rear. Entitled to come on again with hood now applied.

Finally got off the mark when narrow winner at Yarmouth under this rider earlier this month and backed that up with a decent third under a penalty at Brighton 5 days later. Player off 2 lb lower.

Forecasts

Darkened Edge (9/4), Just Jump (7/2), Dragon God (4/1), Faustus (7/1), Trafalger (10/1), The Bear Of Saints (10/1), Desdemona (16/1), Our Planet (16/1), Em Jay Kay (33/1)

Verdict

FAUSTUS has been expensive to follow since runner-up over C&D in June but he's worth another chance back at this venue with headgear left off this time. Dragon God arrives in good form and is re-united with Tom Marquand, while C&D winner Just Jump is quirky but capable.
