|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th | 1 | 6 |
Express Train (G)
Promising sort. Winner at Leicester (6f) in July. Ran too badly to be true at Yarmouth later that month and remains with potential. Gelded since last run.

[BT]
Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in seller (11/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Hierarchy (G)
[BT]
Latest win at Southwell in September. Ran right up recent best when creditable second of 9 in handicap (7/1) over C&D 21 days ago, slowly away. Races off same mark and must enter calculations.

| 6th | 4 | 7 |
Distant Rumble (G)
C&D winner. 10/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

|
| 4th | 5 | 8 |
Expert Agent (G)
[P]
C&D winner. 9/2, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 39 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

8/1
|
| 3rd | 6 | 3 |
City Cyclone (G)
3 wins from 14 runs this year. Last of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 22/1) 19 days ago. Others more appealing.

| 2nd | 7 | 9 |
Hunky Dory (G)
FAV
Consistent sort who made the frame again when good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is one for the shortlist.

6/4
|
| 9th | 8 | 2 |
Comedian Leader (M)
In excellent form during the summer, winning back-to-back handicaps (6f & 7f) at Lingfield Park. Returns to action off 6 lb higher mark but must be taken seriously.

L Morris | J & S Best | 5 | 57.6 kg |

| 8th | 9 | 4 |
Prodigal Son (G)
[P]
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 12/1) 11 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Still looking for first success.
