Forest Caper (G)
Frustrating sort who has never won but showed improvement when third of 12 in an 8f handicap at Southwell (17/2) 6 days ago, beaten just a neck. Tends to race freely but claims if he can back up latest run with usual hood now removed.

Shamacid (G)
[V1]
Placed in novices before eighth of 9 at Chelmsford (25/1) on handicap bow 21 days ago when doing too much too soon. First-time visor replaces blinkers for this step back up in trip and could be competitive if ridden more efficiently.

Eupator (G)
FAV
[B]
Winless in 11 starts but showed ability on the all-weather with a 3rd at Wolverhampton 34 days ago. Second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7/2) 6 days ago, running well, chasing the leader and rallying when headed. Past form at this venue o…

Al Muddy (G)
Shown little in three AW novice runs and finished fourth of 5 in novice at Newcastle (125/1) 13 days ago, pulling hard and making no impact. Still warrants a market check making handicap debut.

Study Up (G)
[HT1]
Has struggled in recent handicaps, finishing eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (50/1) 16 days ago when racing freely and making little impression. First-time tongue strap today but only considered if backed on third start for current yard…

Repertoire (G)
Won at Lingfield (11/2) 20 days ago, then ran well when third of 7 in handicap at same course (5/1) 11 days ago. Typically finishes strongly and would benefit from a well-run race at this course.

Fools Rush In (G)
[TV]
Course specialist with 3 wins here including a victory at this C&D 17 days ago. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (18/5) 7 days ago when running under a penalty and racing far too freely. Strong record at this venue suggests he remains ca…
