Three Yorkshiremen
Dropped into a 0-55 and landed a gamble over C&D last month, pulling well clear in the final furlong; 10lb rise to contend with this time and that could be enough to scupper the follow-up.

Educate
C&D win in April off 5lb lower; he has finished second in each of his three runs for Jim Goldie, all at Newcastle (1m2f to 2m); up 8lb for those defeats but the return to this trip will suit and he's one to consider.

Oman
Ran on for second over an inadequate 8.6f here six weeks ago; this is a good race for the grade but he is still of interest back up in distance.

Damascus Steel
Five wins for Ed Dunlop; on a good mark and his second run for his new stable was much better than his first, keeping on well over this trip at Kempton; should be winning races soon but this one looks competitive.

So Alex
Unexposed 3yo; good second on his handicap debut at Southwell a fortnight ago and he made no mistake over C&D last week, overcoming a wide trip to win comfortably (nearly 5l back to the third); up 5lb but unlikely to have reached his ceiling.

Different Tone
1m4f winner for Ed Walker in August 2023; well handicapped on that form and his second run for a new yard (off 720 days prior to stable debut) wasn't without promise; better can be expected soon.

Prince Ali
He has won over C&D but that was in a race run at a farcically slow pace and shorter trips suit better; others hold stronger claims.

14/1 |
Rubellite
C&D winner in September off a 5lb lower mark; solid placed efforts on her next two starts but she took a backwards step at Newcastle (1m2f) five weeks ago; returning to this trip can help but others are more appealing.

Hackney Diamonds
Three good runs here this autumn, having no problem with the trip when chasing home So Alex over C&D last week (clear of the third); 5lb better off with her old rival but lacks the same potential.

Busby
1m4f on Tapeta is no problem but this veteran has been well beaten in two runs back from his summer break and this looks a hot race in which to bounce back.

- Jack Dace / G Harris

Ice Opera
18-race maiden; poor form for current stable and she is hard to warm to despite her much reduced mark.

20/1 |
Havachoc
Ran his best race for his new stable when third of nine at Newcastle 12 days ago (1m4f); that was only a 0-55 and he will need a step forward to come out on top in this higher grade.
