4-y-o who probably needed the run after 15 months off starting out for new connections when sixth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 25/1) 21 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Cheekpieces reached for and he now needs to build on that.

Doubled his tally for the season at Ripon (9.7f) in August and solid placed efforts on 2 of last 3 starts, latterly when runner-up back at that venue 12 days ago. Not ruled out for all he's yet to defy a mark this high.

Won 3 times last season (including here) and ran well after 8 months off at Pontefract in July. Not so good either start since though, seventh of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 26 days ago. Something to prove at present.

Shaped as if needing the run on return at Pontefract but run well all 3 starts at up to 11.6f since, third of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 45 days ago, staying on gradually. Live each-way player from unchanged mark.

Going through a good spell of late, opening his account for the campaign at Pontefract (10f) in July and runner-up both starts back at that venue last month. Looks more of a place player away from that venue rather than one for win purposes.

Won twice over hurdles for Harry Derham in February and left a low-key stable debut effort well behind when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago. Booking of Becky Smith a plus making handicap debut in this sphere.

Registered back-to-back victories at this trip prior to going down narrowly at Doncaster (10.2f) in July. Has found his improvement levelling off more recently, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 6/1) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track but that rates distinctly possible.

Found run of recent good form coming to a halt at Ripon but quickly back on track turned out quickly when landing 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (9f, soft) 10 days ago, making all. More on his plate up 4 lb.

Ended losing run at Haydock (1m) in July and turned in best effort of the season when second of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Yard continue in fine form and booking of Simon Walker a definite plus. One to consider.

Bounced back to best to take advantage of reduced mark at Beverley (10f) in July. Good second at Redcar next time but ran below best when last of 8 in handicap back at Beverley in August. Cheekpieces back on.

Found her feet in recent months, bagging third success since June at Beverley (10f) in August. Improved again from the front when second of 8 in handicap back at that venue 2 weeks ago. Looks competitive on form.

Ended his 2-y-o campaign with a win at Leicester (first-time cheekpieces). Bettered that form when second on his C&D reappearance in July and not disgraced on each of his last 2 starts at Sandown/Windsor. Cheekpieces back on in place of visor here.

Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Haydock/Nottingham in June and essentially run with credit in defeat subsequently, no extra only late on when fifth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (10f) 25 days ago. Not discounted in a wide-open affair.

Enjoying a productive 4-y-o campaign, finding further improvement when adding to his tally at Hamilton (11f) and fared best of those from off the pace when fourth at Newcastle (10.2f) 17 days ago. Likely has another big effort in him from this mark.

Winner in first-time hood at Chepstow (10f) in May. Respectable efforts have followed, fourth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 31 days ago. Worth a second look.

Forecasts

Humble Spark (11/2), Continuance (11/2), Financer (7/1), Fast Steps (8/1), Young Fire (9/1), Glistening Nights (10/1), Royal Blaze (10/1), Tele Red (12/1), Princess Niyla (12/1), Sisterandbrother (14/1), Highwaygrey (16/1), Unplugged (18/1), Star Start (22/1), Ey Up Its The Boss (22/1), Poet's Dawn (28/1), Fourofakind (33/1), Bass Player (33/1), Blue Yonder (33/1), Jumeira Vision (40/1), Sol Cayo (66/1)

Verdict

Claims can be made for most in a wide-open finale including HUMBLE SPARK. A 3-time winner already this term, Jim Goldie's 4-y-o still appeals as being on a workable mark and could just be worth siding with dropped back in trip. Financer is another worth a second look faced with an easier assignment than of late. Fast Steps, Young Fire, Unplugged and Poet's Dawn also enter calculations.
