King David (G)
FAV
[BT]
12/1 and blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 3 days ago. Needs considering.

Mandana (F)
[H]
Twelve runs since last win in 2025. 10/3, only fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f) 10 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Silky Robin (G)
[B]
Completed a hat-trick at Bath in September and has continued in good nick, not enjoying a smooth passage when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 3/1) in October. Can't be ruled out stepped up in trip after a break.

6-86551 | S D Bowen | Brian Toomey | 5 | 60.8 kg |

Pickering Castle (G)
Comes here under something of a cloud but he was hampered under 2f out when seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 26 days ago. Figures on a lenient-looking mark though if getting back on his A-game.

Invincible Melody (G)
[V]
Remains a maiden after 17 runs but he posted a respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt eased 1 lb. Engaged Wolverhampton 355 Sunday.

Toussarok (G)
Course winner but he saw his run of good form come to an end when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Sanditon (G)
[P]
Remains winless but consistent sort who posted a good third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 4 days ago. A likely player off an unchanged mark.

Fort Augustus (G)
[H]
Is 0-14 and tried in a hood when a below-par seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
