Sir Titan⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Won 8-runner handicap at Kempton (7f, 14/1) 40 days ago, driven out. Nudged up just 2 lb and it's not hard to envisage this 7-y-o playing a leading role.

Form: 666-801

(11)

War Leader¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 74

11/1

100/1, 15 lengths last of 5 to Global Giant in listed race at Kempton (10f) 16 days ago. This is a more realistic assignment, but he's 0-8 on turf and looks vulnerable.

Form: 3542-75

(14)

Strawberry Jack^p,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 73| D

14/1

Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 17/2) 11 days ago. 2 lb lower now and it'd be no surprise were he to take a hand in the finish.

Form: 487-754

(2)

Heaven Forfend^t,v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: M L W Bell| OR: 73| D

5/1

Winner at Lingfield in February. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he won't be far away if the new headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 334-155

(12)

Glasvegas²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: P D Evans| OR: 73| D

5/1

Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (11/10) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 29 days ago, well positioned. 2 lb rise fair enough and merits respect in this hat-trick bid with William Buick aboard.

Form: 43-4511

(9)

Blackcastle Storm¹⁶⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| BF

11/2

2/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen in October. Should have races in him off this sort of mark, but he may find conditions here too lively.

(3)

Ricksen^h⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72

22/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 44 days ago. This drop back in trip should help and he's not discounted.

Form: 4224-7

(10)

Sycamore²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 72

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm, 7/2) on final start of last season. This trip should be within range and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 625-

(1)

Sceptred Isle¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 71

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, respectable third of 9 in minor event at Nottingham (10.2f, good). Off 6 months and down in trip on this handicap debut. Needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 6343-

(6)

Sir Plato¹⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: B R Millman| OR: 67| CD

33/1

Four-time C&D winner. 10/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy). Off 168 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 057738-

(13)

In The Red^b²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Martin Smith| OR: 67| D

66/1

Untrustworthy individual. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 20/1) 27 days ago, having run of race. Has scored on turf since June 2017.

Form: 8-37832

(5)

Kingston Kurrajong^p¹³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 67| CD

66/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving William Knight when last of 13 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (8f). Off 138 days and he's essentially opposable.

Form: 279070-

(4)

Big Brown^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Lorenzo Atzori⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 59

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (100/1) at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago. Looks set for another struggle.

Form: 093-09

Forecasts

Sceptred Isle (4/1), Sycamore (4/1), Heaven Forfend (5/1), Glasvegas (5/1), Blackcastle Storm (11/2), Espresso Freddo (8/1), War Leader (11/1), Strawberry Jack (14/1), Sir Titan (14/1), Ricksen (22/1), Sir Plato (33/1), Kingston Kurrajong (66/1), In The Red (66/1), Big Brown (125/1)

SYCAMORE failed to progress when making his handicap debut at Leicester in September, but the drop to 6f appeared to count against him and he is given another chance to build on the initial promise he showed in novice events now upped to a mile. The in-form Glasvegas has to be feared with William Buick doing the steering, while Heaven Forfend and Sir Titan enter calculations, too.
