Cristo (G)
[P]
Dual handicap winner over 10f here last spring but progress stalled off revised mark since. Not particularly favoured by these terms, either.

Hitched (G)
[H]
Free-going sort who often gives his running (winning handicap at Wolverhampton at the end of January) but does have a bit to find on these terms.

Good Banter (G)
Won a similar event at Wolverhampton in September and decent efforts in defeat since. However, this is a strong race of its type and he's likely to struggle.

Zoffandia (G)
FAV
[TV]
Quirky individual but seems a more reliable proposition on AW and was impressive when winning Kempton handicap under this rider on return last week having been strong in the betting. Can make presence felt if he's in the same form.

City Of God (G)
[P1]
Won maiden at Southwell before runner-up in 2 AW handicaps this time last year. Struggled when switched to turf in the summer but showed enough to suggest he retains ability after 8 months off at Wolverhampton 4 weeks ago, caught wide and …

Epictetus (G)
[B]
On a long losing run but was a close third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton last month. Not in same form over 10f at Lingfield since but has never really convinced over that far. Likely to go well down in class/trip.
