9st 7lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Alan King

Seems to act on soft; has improved since tackling 1m6f, his stamina coming into play when winning at Sandown (good) and, after finding a Class 2 Newmarket race rather more demanding, he won a shade cosily on Wolverhampton AW in August; up 4lb but can progress further.

9st 7lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Alan King

Steadily progressive stepping up in trip and got off the mark at the fifth attempt, at Sandown (1m6f, good) in June; wasn't able to handle the step up in class at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month when fifth of seven but holds obvious claims back on AW at this level.

8st 7lb

J: David Egan

T: Alan King

Carries his head high; 7l fourth of 14 to Arc Ole Ole at York (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; bettered that form when staying on best to win a four-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, good) three weeks ago, but 3lb higher today and his sights are raised.

9st 6lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Alan King

Runner-up twice in novices and made a positive start to his handicap career when 7l fourth of 14 over 1m4f at York (good) four weeks ago; this is less competitive but didn't obviously shape at York as if he's crying out for this 2f longer trip.

9st 1lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: Alan King

Made late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October and built on that when second of eight in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago; this is a warm race for handicap debut but it looks as if he will stay at least 1m4f.
