C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, creditable 1½ lengths third of 7 to King's Code in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. 2 lb better off with that rival now and should be competitive.
|
Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 19 runs last year. 9/5, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, well positioned. Merits respect in his hat-trick bid.
|
C&D winner. Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. Four wins from 12 runs last year. 22/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 28 days ago. Improvement needed.
|
Good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 5/1) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Should make his presence felt.
|
Ninth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Ascot (16f, good to firm). Off 175 days and significantly down in trip for this tapeta debut. Others are more appealing. Yard also saddles Hitched.
|
One win from 3 runs last year. 5/2, good neck second of 7 to Smart Hero in handicap at this course (8.6f) 28 days ago. 1 lb better off with that rival now but not sure that this step back up in trip is what he wants.
|
Four-time C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 28/1) 10 days ago. Will probably find a few too good once more.
|
Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (8.6f, 5/2) 28 days ago by neck from Cynosure. 2 lb nudge no hardship and shapes as though this stiffer test won't be an issue, so he's one to consider.
|
Four-time course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year, the latest here in December. Ninth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. King's Code appears to be the stable No 1.
|
Course winner. Seven wins from 23 Flat runs. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 3/1) 9 days ago. Place possibilities.

Forecasts
Metallo (3/1), Smart Hero (7/2), Cynosure (9/2), King's Code (5/1), Civil Law (9/1), Eagle Day (12/1), Felix (12/1), Hitched (14/1), Wadacre Gomez (28/1), Tides Of War (100/1)
KING'S CODE remains on a fair mark following back-to-back C&D wins and is taken to complete the hat-trick. The 5-y-o may have most to fear from Felix, who was just over a length behind him here on Boxing Day and could get close now 2 lb better off. Smart Hero got the better of Cynosure over 8.6f at this course last time and he is third choice, while Metallo is also entitled to have a say.
