Crimson Rambler (G)
FAV
[B]
Runner-up three times in handicaps before finally getting off the mark over 1m at Southwell (15/8f) 5 days ago, the step up in trip proving the catalyst. Should go well again under a penalty.

Pangbourne (F)
No impact in all-weather novice/maidens so needs this switch to a handicap to be transformative.

Jack Nicholls | R A Teal | 3 | 61.2 kg |

| 4th | 3 | 5 |
City Of Dreams (G)
Seemingly being brought along gradually, seventh of 8 in novice at Southwell over 6f (50/1) in December. Upped in trip and could well prove a different proposition now handicapping.

Callum Rodriguez | E Bethell | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Angry Ant (F)
Little show in 6 starts. Handicapper drops her a chunk but needs to show much more.

Saffie Osborne | J A Osborne | 3 | 61.2 kg |

Time To Sparkle (F)
Made a bold showing for her rookie trainer (left Eve Johnson Houghton 5,000 gns) on handicap debut following a 4-month absence when fourth of 12 at Kempton (12/1) 26 days ago. In the mix with a repeat.

Thependleburyfox (F)
Ran best race upped in trip last time but that was still just poor form. Makes handicap debut and big step forward needed.

William Pyle | G Tutty | 3 | 59.9 kg |

Risk Averse Rebel (C)
Yet to show any ability in 4 starts. Makes handicap/all-weather debut.

Nicolai (G)
[V1]
Showed first form when eighth of 12 in a novice at Southwell (250/1) last month. Handicap debut with first-time visor on and may improve further.

Regal And Real (G)
[T1]
Well beaten on all 3 starts to date. Could show more now handicapping upped in trip with tongue tie fitted (has had a breathing operation).

Jonny Peate | Jack Morland | 3 | 57.2 kg |

12/1

| 11th | 11 | 3 |
Analeesa (F)
[V1]
Little show in terms of both form and enthusiasm all 3 starts. Makes handicap debut with first-time visor applied/stepped up in trip and she could improve.

Nando's Pride (G)
