Eklil¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: A Irvine| OR: 72| D

22/1

50/1, 2½ lengths fifth of 8 to Masqool in C&D handicap 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position.

Form: 9/2918-5

Forge Valley Lad¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 72| CD

9/1

Four-time course winner, the latest last April. Creditable fourth here last month. Needs to shrug off a poor effort at Chelmsford 18 days ago but Jamie Spencer has a good record on him.

Form: 010-846

(9)

Goldsmith^h³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 72| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 7/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Enters calculations.

Form: 21-1404

(8)

Percy Willis^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 70

17/2

Runner-up on twice on tapeta in the autumn but has been performing only respectably at best since, including over hurdles.

Form: 29554-8

(12)

Boasty^v²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: I Furtado| OR: 70| D

16/1

Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford 29 days ago. Can be very competitive from his current mark but his draw isn't ideal.

Form: 54527-6

Molly Valentine¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 70| C

18/1

Course winner. 16/1, 3¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Masqool in C&D handicap 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

Form: 61340-6

(5)

Abu Royal^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: H Main| OR: 70

17/2

Blinkered for first time, good 2 lengths fourth of 8 to Masqool over C&D 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Could have a big say if the headgear continues to work.

Form: 6670-74

(7)

Tribal Wisdom⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65| CD

10/3

On a hat-trick after wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton this year. Got up despite conceding first run last time and ought to make a bold bid under the 5 lb penalty.

Form: 74-5511

(3)

Masqool^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 69| CD

5/1

Cheekpieces on first time, had a few of today's rivals behind him when winning 8-runner C&D handicap 14 days ago, albeit he was well positioned in a steadily-run affair. Only 2 lb higher.

Form: 647-221

(4)

Dynamiste³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy| OR: 67

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Her mark demands improvement but she is unexposed.

Form: 35-6

(6)

Golden Keeper^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jack Gilligan| T: B Lund| OR: 65

125/1

28/1, last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago. Down in trip. Others are more obvious.

Form: 445-960

(10)

Kimifive¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 63

125/1

Latest win at Epsom in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 1906-07

Forecasts

Goldsmith (9/4), Tribal Wisdom (10/3), Masqool (5/1), Abu Royal (17/2), Percy Willis (17/2), Forge Valley Lad (9/1), Boasty (16/1), Molly Valentine (18/1), Eklil (22/1), Dynamiste (28/1), Golden Keeper (125/1), Kimifive (125/1)

In what looks quite a competitive race for the level ABU ROYAL is given a chance to confirm the promise of his latest C&D fourth. The hat-trick seeking Tribal Wisdom can give him most to do ahead of Goldsmith and Forge Valley Lad.
