| 14th | 1 | 13 |
Emperor Spirit (G)
[TP]
C&D winner. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 22/1) 42 days ago. Place possibilities.

Daniel Muscutt | Michael Keady | 7 | 62.6 kg |

| 1st | 2 | 3 |
Justcallmepete (G)
[B]
9/2, won 11-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago by short head from Existent, suited by way race developed. More needed up 3 lb in this hat-trick bid, but he's clearly in good nick.
|
D C Costello | A W Carroll | 6 | 62.1 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 3rd | 3 | 14 |
Havana Rum (G)
15/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. 4 lb rise not the end of the world and return to 6f no problem either, so he's one for the shortlist.

Ethan Tindall | R A Fahey | 5 | 60.8 kg |

| 4th | 4 | 1 |
Mesaafi (G)
FAV
[B]
C&D winner. 3 victories from 15 runs this year. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (15/8) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Back on last winning mark and one to consider.
|
Paddy Bradley | R Burdon | 4 | 60.8 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 10th | 5 | 6 |
Existent (G)
Unreliable type. Course winner. 9/2, very good short-head second of 11 to Justcallmepete in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. One of three runners for the Stuart Williams yard.
|
Alistair Rawlinson | S C Williams | 7 | 59.4 kg |
5
4/1
|
| 6th | 6 | 4 |
Cherry Cobbler (G)
Lightly-raced winner. 7/4, respectable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Havana Rum in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Each-way claims.
|
S M Levey | S C Williams | 3 | 58.5 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 8th | 7 | 11 |
Panelli (G)
[T]
Winner at Lingfield in September. Wasn't disgraced on debut for new yard in the 5f handicap here won by Havana Rum recently, but others make more appeal all the same.
|
Jack Dace | S C Williams | 3 | 58.5 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 5th | 8 | 8 |
Charlie Mason (G)
Three wins from 18 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in September. Creditable second of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, heavy, 4/1) 55 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly.
|
Jack Doughty | A W Carroll | 4 | 58.1 kg |
8
7/1
|
| 13th | 9 | 7 |
Sensorium (G)
[BT]
C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 12/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's not without each-way hope.
|
Kyle Strydom | Dylan Cunha | 3 | 58.1 kg |
10
9/1
|
| 9th | 10 | 9 |
Em Four (G)
C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 11 to Justcallmepete in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to find one or two too good once more.
|
Rob Hornby | J A Osborne | 3 | 58.1 kg |

25/1
|
| 12th | 11 | 12 |
Dark Side Thunder (G)
[V]
Won 7-runner handicap at this C&D (11/4) 14 days ago. Remains on a workable mark back up 3 lb, but one or two of the others make more appeal from a win point of view.
|
Lewis Edmunds | Jessica Macey | 6 | 57.6 kg |
17
16/1
|
| 2nd | 12 | 5 |
Tyger Bay (G)
[BT]
C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Respectable 2 lengths fourth of 11 to Justcallmepete in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Can make presence felt.
|
George Wood | C Allen | 8 | 57.6 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 7th | 13 | 10 |
General Assembly (G)
Course winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 7¾ lengths tenth of 11 to Justcallmepete in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive.
|
Harry Davies | C Hobson | 4 | 57.2 kg |

66/1
|
| 11th | 14 | 2 |
Giant (G)
[H1P]
Course winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Hood on 1st time. Opposable.
