5/1
Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fifth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f) 27 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit now handicapping and he may yet have a bigger effort in his locker.

11/10
Doubled career tally at Bath (5.7f) and plenty of creditable efforts in defeat since, latest when close-up fifth of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 18 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts again.

11/1
Steadily eased in weights last year and more encouraging signs when placed in handicaps at Lingfield/here during the summer. Not at best when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 54 days ago but application of a first-time visor could help now.

15/2
Veteran C&D winner who resumed winning ways over 5f here in August. Not in quite the same form of late though, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, never better than midfield.

12/1
Produced one of her better efforts when fourth at Yarmouth (7f) in July but below that level both starts since, eleventh of 13 in a C&D handicap 21 days ago on the back of wind surgery. Percentage call to look elsewhere.

150/1
Untrustworthy individual. First run for 14 months/since leaving Brian Nolan when tenth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at Southwell (5f) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Something to find on form.

16/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 25/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, folding tamely over 1f out. Hard to warm to at present.

14/1
33/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 21 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Return to sprinting needs to have positive effect now.

40/1
Down the field in 3 starts for Archie Watson last winter but not entirely seen to best effect starting out for new yard/after 12 months off when ninth of 12 in a Southwell novice (6f) 6 days ago. This should reveal more now handicapping with cheekpieces retained.

Maiden who ran below best when eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 18 days ago, weakening over 1f out. More needed.

Forecasts

Time Patrol (11/10), Piperstown (3/1), Shades Of May (5/1), Q Twenty Boy (15/2), Lord Danielson (9/1), Comedian Leader (11/1), Zina Colada (12/1), Peachey Carnehan (12/1), Lucy Lockett (14/1), Captain Dandy (16/1), Jazz State (40/1), Wild Eyed Girl (150/1)

Verdict

TIME PATROL is a consistent performer at this sort of level and gets the vote from a handy draw with his stable continuing in rude health. Handicap-debutant Shades of May and Comedian Leader, equipped with a first-time visor, are others to consider.
