C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. 16/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago, hampered. Daniel Tudhope prefers Great Max.

6/1
C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Would be a serious player off this reduced mark if able to get back on track but now finds himself with a fair bit to prove.

14/1
Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 15 days ago. This 4 lb higher mark should be manageable and he'll be a threat if able to reproduce that form back on the AW.

Latest win at Doncaster in August. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 36 days ago. In good form prior to that but a question mark remains in terms of his effectiveness on the AW.

7/2
4/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Sole previous run in handicap company didn't go too well but that was over 11f and he has to be feared given the yard he represents.

16/1
C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in July. 3¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Theme Park in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 3/1) 15 days ago. That wasn't one of his better efforts but he'll be a major player if on-song.

4/1
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 2/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he should be on the premises, provided that this drop back in trip doesn't count against him.

Cases can be made for several of these, with LIGHT SPEED topping the shortlist. He finished nearer last than first in the Pontefract handicap won by Theme Park recently but that only tells half the story (shaped better than the result) and his strike rate on the all-weather is another strong selling point. Hale End was also down the field in that Pontefract race but is much better than he showed there and is second choice ahead of Master Richard. Baraq and Sniper's Eye are others to consider.
