C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 15/8, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 23 days ago. Likely to give it another good shot.
Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 25/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Can build on that.
C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 8/1) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly up just 2 lb given he retains handicap scope.
14/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 70 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes.
Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 25/1, good sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (16.6f) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Something to find on form.

Daaris (5/4), Carlton (13/8), Further Measure (2/1), Mr Zippi (7/1), Blue Collar (11/1), Two Plus Two (16/1), Grand Duchess Olga (16/1), Kojin (20/1), Scylla (28/1)
CARLTON has been transformed by the switch to James Owen and assuming he's allowed to take his chance on the back of Saturday's success, the 5-timer may well be on the cards. Mr Zippi has a bigger performance in him on the level so he's second choice, ahead of Daaris.
