Sceptic (G)
[P]
Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (7.1f) in September before a good fourth at Lingfield (7f) last week. Unseated rider (had plenty to do at the time) returned to Wolverhampton (8.6f) on Tuesday but likely best treated as still in form.

No Knee Never (G)
12/1, off 4 months/first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon didn't shape with immediate promise when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 29 days ago, going with little fluency. Type this yard do well with and this promises to r…

Prefer The Sister (M)
Sole win gained at Kempton (7f) last winter but largely held her form well on artificial surfaces in recent months, finishing third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 21 days ago, without entirely convincing with her application. Still, res…

Initial Blue (G)
[T1P]
Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 32 days ago, faring best of those held up. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's one to bear in mind from career-low mark back at…

Moonlight Bomb (G)
FAV
Still seeking a first win after 11 starts but ran well when third of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 37 days ago, coming from further back than the other principals. First run for new trainer and he's edged down to a fair mark. Po…

Jazzit (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 13 on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) 63 days ago, refusing to settle and losing place 2f out. Possible he needs more time.

Bullington Bry (G)
Displayed more encouraging signs when placed in handicaps at Yarmouth/Ffos Las at around this trip during the summer. Clearly not 100% when well held last of 8 at Newmarket (1m) in August and bounce back certainly not ruled out back from a…

Volendam (F)
Twice second in maidens on AW and ran her best race when fourth of 12 in a 1m handicap at Haydock (7.1f) in August. Disappointed at Newcastle a month later (final start for Julie Camacho) but she could yet have more to offer back from a br…

Bad Habits (G)
Maiden who has fallen a long way in the weights this year and ran to a similar level as on return when fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 20 days ago, early keenness impacting her finishing effort. Likely has a race of this na…

Embarked (G)
C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 30 days ago, bouncing back from a below-par display under a more positive ride. However, others make stronger appeal from a win perspective on balance.

Cable Beach (G)
Maiden who produced best effort to date when finishing fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 28/1) 19 days ago, staying on. Not out of things with a repeat.
