Zipwire (G)
[P]
Proved better than ever when winning 5-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 16 days ago by ½ length from Aneirin's Sword. Remains feasibly treated and ought to go well again.

Engross (G)

Steadily progressive in a trio of starts at 1m last year. Gelded since last outing and looks sure to appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut.

Berkshire Schmokin (G)
Off the mark at Wolverhampton in February and wasn't suited by muddling pace when 2½ lengths fourth of 5 to Zipwire in handicap (13/8) at same course 16 days ago, Likely contender.

Pantile's Gift (G)
Disappointed on soft ground at Bath when last seen in October but had been progressing nicely prior to that and needs monitoring in market on return/handicap bow stepped up in trip.

Aneirin's Sword (G)
[P]
Back to winning ways, in first-time cheekpieces, when narrowly taking Wolverhampton handicap last month and ran just as well when ½-length second of 5 to Zipwire at same course 16 days ago, conceding first run. Respected.

Port Darwin (G)
Made a successful nursery debut at Musselburgh in August but not really gone on from that, well held in fifth on reappearance at Kempton last month. May have needed that outing and should stay this longer trip, but others appeal more.
