Eligible (G)
Showed improved form last summer with a third place at Chester following disappointing runs. First of 9 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 13 days ago, overcoming a poor start for a sixth course success. Back up in trip and 5 lbs higher but c…

Mao Shang Wong (G)
Lightly raced gelding showing steady improvement. Second of 6 in maiden over C&D (16/1) 25 days ago but no match for winner, retains potential for handicap debut.

Far Ahead (G)
Won a novice race last May but struggled since, finishing sixth of 7 at Southwell (17/2) 22 days ago when taking strong hold. Needs to settle better back up in trip.

Second Fiddle (M)
FAV
[T]
In excellent form with 5 wins in last 5 starts at this C&D, most recently finishing first of 12 in handicap (11/2) 12 days ago when beating Maui Breeze by 2 lengths. Up 6lbs but continues to show improvement.

Maui Breeze (F)
Inconsistent performer who finished second of 12 in handicap at this course and distance (80/1) 12 days ago on just second start for new connections, beaten 2 lengths by Second Fiddle who reopposes. Could go well again.

Starliner (G)
Course winner who finished seventh of 12 in a handicap at this course and distance (6/1) 12 days ago, beaten 4¼ lengths. May need to drop further in grade to be truly competitive.

The English Rogue (G)
Fair performer in five starts, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (9/2) 29 days ago when stretched by 12f trip. Return to shorter trip could suit.

Just Typical (G)
[HT]
Has 3 course and distance wins. Fifth of 10 in handicap over 7f at this course (11/2) 21 days ago, raced freely in mid-field and pushed along but was one-paced in the closing stages. The step back up to 1m should suit based on previous com…

Book Of Life (G)
Ran fair third at Wolverhampton 35 days ago before finishing 10th of 12 in handicap (33/1) when racing wide 14 days ago. Drop in weight could help if settling better.
