Kingdom Of Stars (G)
FAV
Fairly useful Flat performer seems to be getting the hang of things over hurdles, taking a step forward despite struggling to go the early pace (doesn't look entirely straightforward) when third here (2m3½f) on qualifying run.

Bongo Man (G)
[T]
Low-mileage 6-y-o produced his best effort to date (in first-time tongue strap) when ½-length second of 9 in Huntingdon handicap and needs considering, for all he had the run of the race last time.

Lord Chamberlain (G)
[T]
Fair Flat maiden showed more second time up over hurdles but tongue strap back on here having finished well held in a deeper race at Huntingdon on qualifying run. Handicapper hasn't taken any chance with his opening mark, either.

Graecia (M)
FAV
[T]
Headstrong mare has run creditably in much better company this season but never looked like justifying support when distant second behind front-running favourite at Fakenham last time. Still looks interesting on earlier form, however.

Getaway With You (G)
[TP]
Gained fourth win of an excellent season at Chepstow prior to shaping second best for long way before quick turnaround told at Ffos Las last time. Has been given more time ahead of this, though the handicapper may have his measure regardle…

Nick Slatter | D Killahena & G McPherson | 8 | 74.4 kg |

Desert Halo (G)
Following an underwhelming spell over fences, opened his account on handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton last time. The runner-up has since franked that form and a 3 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable.
|
Harry Bannister | R Bandey | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Bouquet De Paris (G)
[H]
Lightly-raced 4-y-o showed plenty on Flat debut for Andrew Balding and shaped better than the result when fourth of 6 on handicap hurdle bow at Ffos Las latest. Could prove well treated if learning to settle.
|
Thomas Bellamy | Miss R Curtis | 4 | 70.8 kg |

For Old Times Sake (G)
Has featured prominently in the market on both handicap starts to date but again struggled to land a blow at Huntingdon (2½m) last time. Too soon to discount given yard's track record with similar types.

R P McLernon | N P Mulholland | 5 | 69.4 kg |

Granny B (M)

Remains a maiden after 15 starts over hurdles and has been off since finishing lame at Stratford in October.

Now Then Wendy (M)
[T]
Ran one of this season's better races when fourth of 8 over C&D latest and cannot be totally discounted off a falling mark.

Benjamin Poste | S Cameron | 9 | 64.4 kg |

Ramaah (G)
[B]
Did all he could from well out of the handicap when third of 7 over C&D last time but hard to make a strong case for at the weights.
