Walden
A flop at Doncaster on handicap debut but he brushed that aside with a pretty impressive maiden win at Market Rasen (good) in April when upped to an extended 2m5f; unexposed and no shock if he remains capable of better.

Ilitch
Came good over hurdles at fourth attempt, keeping on well to take a Fontwell handicap (2m1f, good) in March; good fourth of 11 at Uttoxeter (upped to 2m4f, good to soft) in October, weakening late on but it was after seven-month absence and he may be able to build on that performance.

Guchen
Six-race maiden; has mostly run to a similar level over hurdles, including over 2m4f on soft and under 10lb claimer, but the exception was latest start when soundly beaten in 2m5f handicap at Kempton; something to prove after that.

Bitsnbuckles
1-9 over hurdles and opposable on most form, but the one win came on his only appearance at this track (2m3f handicap in January 2024 on good to soft) and he went close at Wetherby (2m5f, good) last November; absent 377 days before well beaten last month; now has tongue tied first time.

The Secret Pearl
Acts on soft; narrow maiden win at Market Rasen (extended 2m1f) in April from nine starts over hurdles; has run well on both outings since, off 172 days before second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) latest, but needs to find a bit extra.

Won four-runner maiden here (2m3f) on hurdle debut in March and placed at Warwick (again on good ground) both starts this autumn, third of eight on handicap debut when upped to 2m5f on latest; looks a leading contender with further improvement likely.

Tigga Time
Maiden point winner who drew a blank for Sandy Thomson but won a C&D handicap (good; probably okay on soft) last month under Jamie Gambin on second start for new yard, with Mistral Blue second; back up 4lb but considered.

Fortunes improved in his two handicaps, making some late headway at Worcester (2m4f, good) and beaten a neck when the first two drew clear at Carlisle (2m4f, soft); up 5lb but should figure prominently.

Won his point on heavy; 4l C&D win on handicap debut and runner-up at Market Rasen (again on good ground) later in March; dropping right out when he fell at the second last at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft; 11-8 favourite) on return, having lost both his front shoes but connections now turn to cheekpieces.

Mistral Blue
Scored under Fern O'Brien at Hereford (2m4f) in April and reappeared with an excellent second to Tigga Time over C&D last month; the concern is that she has much more to prove if the ground is softer than good.
