Fools Rush In (G)
[VT]
C&D winner. Again ran below form when ninth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this course (7.2f) a fortnight ago. Heads back up in trip in a reapplied tongue tie and that combination needs to spark a revival.

Mbappe (G)
Arrived in good form but wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (8f) 8 weeks ago, not ideally placed. Lurks on an attractive mark with Billy Loughnane back in the plate.

Danehill Star (G)
Course winner. 4 wins from 14 runs this year. 5/1, ran well under an aggressive ride when second of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) when last seen back in August. Won his last couple on the al-weather in the spring so he'd be folly to…

Pacific Prince (G)
No impact in 3 novices and a handicap so very hard to make a case for returning from a 6-month absence.

The Dark Baron (G)
FAV
Course winner in October. 7/2, wasted no time getting back on the up when a close third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 12 days ago. Every chance he can add to his tally from the same mark.

Summer Evening (F)
[B1]
150/1 and hooded for 1st time, showed nothing when tailed-off last of 12 in maiden at this course (12.2f) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut.

Lhebayeb (M)
C&D winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. 11/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when ninth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) a couple of months ago. Will need to hit the ground running to feature.

R P Mcmurphy (G)
C&D winner earlier this month. Wasn't disgraced when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 6/4) 8 days ago. Fancied to be in the shake up again despite a wide draw.

Charlatan (G)
C&D winner. 15/2, back to form when second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb for that near miss but there's no reason to suggest he can't go close again.

Boujee Gold (M)
C&D winner. 22/1, again ran below form when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago. Dips below his last winning mark so worth a second glance, especially should market support arrive.

Supernova Steps (M)
