First run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when fifth of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield (2m1f,) 17 days ago; while that doesn't necessarily mark him down as a winner in waiting but he has dropped back to the mark he defied at Huntingdon in February. |

Not the most consistent but has won seven times, including when getting the race in the stewards' room in an amateur riders' event over C&D in November; twice held at Wolverhampton since and may just need this after three months off. |

Dual hurdle winner in 2022; placed twice on the AW this autumn but his last two Flat runs were disappointing and this chasing debut will be his 82nd career start; 3lb out of the weights; too risky. |

Her last three wins have come over C&D and latest was last March; well handicapped on that form but she's finished down the field here in her last five runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

Well handicapped on his best form and he returned from a lengthy absence with a fair fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m6f) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting. |

Just one win from his 26 starts across both codes but he kept on to go very close over hurdles at Ayr (2m4f, good) last month and has posted fair efforts on the Flat (2m, AW) the last twice; he's an each-way possible. |

Runner-up in 1m4f classified here in February and kept on for modest fourth in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap in May but was never competitive in refitted cheekpieces here (1m4f) three weeks ago and strike-rate now 0-34. |

Maiden who has been in the frame a few times here and wasn't beaten far when runner-up in a C&D classified in February; has had a few chances off modest marks in handicaps though and a win looks unlikely. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |

Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |

Seen mostly on Tapeta and has more to prove on Polytrack, as shown by latest start; 1m6f wins at Wolverhampton this May and June, with a close call at Newcastle on penultimate start, but there's a bit more for him to prove with the 105-day absence. |

Betting Forcast
25/1 Boundsy Boy, 5/1 Ghostly, 12/1 Robeam, 4/1 Jenny Ren, 6/1 Henry The Fifth, 9/4 Smart Boyo, 20/1 Harmonious, 10/1 Kiss My Face, 16/1 Steel Helmet, 16/1 Tom Hazelgrove, 33/1 Reel Of Fortune
Verdict
A few of these have met each other lately. Robeam, who’s 6lb lower than when successful over C&D in September 2021, is worth a second look, while Ghostly remains on a fair mark and is another to consider. However, SMART BOYO (nap) looks the safest option having finished runner-up in his last three starts over this trip on Tapeta. He seems very likely to run his race and that can make the difference.[David Bellingham]
