Made good strides in the autumn, and arrives on the back of wins at Wolverhampton and Kempton (both 6f). Showed good attitude when challenged last time, and won't be far away in trying to defy a 6lb rise.
Scored on debut at Wolverhampton (5f), and that remains his best so far. Not beaten far under a penalty in both runs since. Steps up in trip for handicap debut, and should remain very competitive from this mark.
Improving gelding who went close on Lingfield's Polytrack (6f) prior to scoring decisively over this trip last time out at Wolverhampton, when making all. Likely to be more where that came from and looks a big player on handicap debut.
Dual turf winner (5f) last spring, and also scored over that trip here on his penultimate start. Not as effective when last of five up in grade last time, but this is more like his level and with 7lb claimed he looks a contender.
Went very close over C&D in November, prior to winning back-to-back races at Wolverhampton (both 6f). The latest was on his handicap debut. Up 3lb for that, but form hasn't been franked since, so needs to improve again.
Improved when back from a break and switched to this surface when scoring very easily over C&D last month in a moderate novice event. Makes handicap debut here in a tougher race, but she may be able to find the necessary.
Forecasts
Mount Mogan (85/40), Waddat (5/2), Batchelor Boy (11/4), Time To Strike (5/1), It'smabirthday (14/1), Zulu Zander (25/1)
Potentially very competitive. Time To Strike was an easy winner last time, but it was a weak event, so it is hard to gauge that form precisely. She takes on a better field and could be vulnerable on her handicap debut. Waddat, It'smabirthday and Zulu Zander should all be capable of having a say, Batchelor Boy probably needs improvement, and preference is for MOUNT MOGAN, who was also a clear cut winner last time and may have the edge on his introduction to handicaps.
