12/1
Out-ran her 33/1 odds when second to an easy winner over 5f at this course last time. That run hinted at a return to her early season form, which would put her right in the mix.

11/2
Ran the most promising race of his three attempts at novices over C&D last time out. Should run well on handicap debut with this top jockey taking the ride for the first time.

14/1
Just behind Mother Of Dragons over 5f at this course last time which was his best performance for some time. Both runs here have been encouraging and he holds minor claims.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR:  63
16/1
Easily his best performance to date came at this course, but that was over significantly further, and he seems likely to lack the speed to be effective over this trip.

16/1
Yet to show much in three starts in novice races, stepping down in trip after finishing last of 11 at this course last time over 1m. Lacks the ability to get involved in this.

Beaten over 10L in all five starts in novice company over a variety of trips, including on the AW. Tough to fancy on handicap debut.

11/4
Remains a maiden but ran very creditably as favourite at Kempton last time out when beaten only half a length. Some of his best form has come on the AW and this race may not take much winning.

Inukp10
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR:  58| D
4/1
A winner at Kempton two starts ago and possibly not suited by the drop down to 5f at Lingfield latest when still running well off a higher mark. Interesting back at 6f from the inside draw.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D R C Elsworth| OR:  57
7/1
No better since switching to handicaps from some moderate form in novice races, and needs to do better than when beaten 5L over C&D last month.

Shamrock Emma39
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR:  55
14/1
Makes her handicap debut having been regressive through three starts in novice races. Return to this trip and an AW surface a positive, however.

Cat Ballou13
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-1| J: J Quinn| T: D O'Meara| OR:  45
10/1
Makes her handicap debut off a featherweight having played only a minor role in three novice events. Needs to fully utilise this very low mark to be in with a chance.

Forecasts

Swissal (11/4), Inuk (4/1), Conflagration (11/2), Roseau City (7/1), Cat Ballou (10/1), Mother of Dragons (12/1), Bomad (14/1), Shamrock Emma (14/1), Tiger Lyon (16/1), Bombshell Bay (16/1), Snaffled (16/1)

Verdict

Few of these arrive in here in particularly appealing form, so a small chance is taken on MOTHER OF DRAGONS. This daughter of Society Rock ran very well in her first two starts before disappointing subsequently. However a fine run to finish second at this course last time where she was doing her best work late means this step back up in trip may be the answer to her finally getting off the mark. Recent Kempton runner-up Swissal and the improving Inuk also could go close.
