Grey Horizon (C)
[V]
Finished third over 7f at this course before winning as 6/4 favourite in 9-runner handicap at Southwell 11 days ago. Up 5lbs but remains competitive at this more suitable 6f trip.

Espona Bay (G)

Better on AW with two seconds, most recently runner-up of 12 in handicap at Kempton (15/8) 82 days ago. Likely to be competitive at this similar track and trip.

Black Rock Beauty (G)
Showed modest form in three novice/maiden starts, finishing eighth of 10 in 5f novice at this course (33/1) 30 days ago, doing best work late. Stepping back up to 6f for handicap debut could suit.

Golden Havana (G)
[B]
Performed poorly on only previous try at 6f before winning over 5f at Newcastle (15/2) 27 days ago in first-time blinkers, just holding on by a short-head. Remains to be seen if he can be as effective back up in trip.

Blindfold Games (F)
[T]
Has shown improved form since switching to handicaps, finishing second at Lingfield. Finished third of 10 in handicap at this course over 6f (15/2) 13 days ago, not helping her chances by failing to keep straight under pressure. Player.

Tafah (G)
Yet to win in four starts, fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 11 days ago on first run since being gelded. May improve for that outing.

Faithful Dream (C)
Finished 11th of 12 in handicap at Kempton Park (16/1), not settling and dropping away after taking strong hold. First run after wind operation may help with previous settling issues.

Far Too Fizzy (C)
Winner of a Chelmsford handicap in October and has since twice finished runner-up at 6f on the all-weather. Second of 10 at this course (8/1) 13 days ago, pulling hard throughout but still finishing well. Should be competitive if settling …
