Mr Baloo (H)
4 wins from 14 runs this year. Hinted at a revival when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 16 days ago. Very much one to consider off a slipping mark.

S M Levey | R Hannon | 4 | 63 kg |

|
| 3rd | 2 | 8 |
Knockbrex (G)
Course winner. Won 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) 25 days ago, just holding on. Needs considering despite a 3 lb rise.

J Mitchell | C Johnston | 5 | 61.7 kg |

Port Of London (G)
FAV
[P]
Lightly-raced sort who scored at Kempton in September. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when only seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 2/1) 82 days ago but worth another chance for leading yard.

R Havlin | J & T Gosden | 3 | 60.3 kg |

Gilet (G)
FAV
Course winner who posted a good second of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Up in trip and not taken lightly nudged up 1 lb.

| 5th | 6 | 2 |
Joolianoss (G)
3 wins from 4 runs this year. 18/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 25 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed.

| 2nd | 7 | 10 |
Shrimp Shady (C)
Lightly-raced winner. 18/5, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 88 days ago. Has work to do.

| 9th | 8 | 5 |
Annexation (G)
Last of 6 in claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 50 days ago. Landed 10f handicaps at Bath and Nottingham on his previous two runs though so can't be discounted back in this sphere.

Nicola Currie | A W Carroll | 9 | 56.7 kg |

50/1
|
| 10th | 9 | 1 |
Shahbaz (G)
Latest win at Newbury in August. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 66/1) 9 days ago though so needs to take a big step forward.

William Cox | A Watson | 5 | 55.3 kg |

| 8th | 10 | 6 |
Party Island (G)
5-time course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 11/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Merits consideration.
