Charlie's Choice
String of good runs this winter, winning a 1m3f handicap at Southwell either side of second placings at Southwell and Wolverhampton (behind Tortured Soul latest); should go well again.

Caustic
Won a C&D novice last February; mixed bag in handicaps since then and this winter's efforts need bettering to win.

Patch's Bond
The hot favourite underperformed when he ran out the easy winner of a 1m novice at Kempton in November but he had hinted at ability in his first two starts and it wouldn't pay to think he was flattered; makes his handicap debut at a realistic level; betting useful.

Brodie's Boy
1m4f win last March; best handicap run since when second of eight at Newcastle last month (1m2f, cheekpieces first time); a bit more will be needed to take this.

Early Morning Dew
In good form in the second half of 2024, winning 1m2f handicaps at Epsom and Chelmsford; easy to back and finished well beaten after a ten-week break here three weeks ago; back down in class but others appeal more.

Tortured Soul
Made a blistering start for Tony Carroll last winter, winning six handicaps (including over C&D); struggled initially after a summer break but he's back in the groove now, getting the better of Charlie's Choice at Wolverhampton last month; up 3lb but should make another bold bid.

Star Time
Didn't get home in a Newbury hurdle four weeks ago but he had been progressing on the Flat beforehand, winning a Yarmouth maiden (1m2f) and dead-heating in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f); still has potential and he's a strong contender.

Kinetic
Four wins for James Owen last year and she was back in top form when second at Southwell ten days ago (1m3f); well beaten in two course runs but they were in much stronger company than this.

Sabyinyo
1m win on turf in May 2022 when trained by Mick Channon; poor form on the Flat and over hurdles for current yard and he returns from a year on the sidelines (had a wind op during his absence).
