Mask Of Zorro
Well held in his qualifying runs but improved markedly for the step up to this trip when well backed and winning over C&D (good to soft) on handicap debut last month, keeping on well; up 7lb but there's likely more to come and he's respected.

Weaver's Answer
Matched previous placed efforts when a close third of six at Ffos Las (3m, good) in October after a break; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; nudged up another 1lb, but he's fairly reliable and likely to be thereabouts.

Ferret Jeeter
Unraced on soft/heavy; has won both completed starts since upped in trip and switched to handicaps, most recently at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in June; has since undergone wind surgery and remains open to progress, with the 5lb rise looking manageable; shortlisted.

El Bandido Pancho
Made all to get off the mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April and bettered that when following up at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in November; did little wrong when collared late under a penalty at latter track ten days later; more required again off 3lb higher, but he's progressing.

Bredon Hill Dart
Gained his breakthrough win at the ninth attempt, at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) in June off 5lb lower; handles deep ground well and the drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue, but this looks more competitive.

Grey D'alco
Showed some ability (over hurdles) in 2022 but little since and was beaten 105l behind Mask Of Zorro over C&D after a break last month; easy to look elsewhere.

Nowyouvebinandunit
0-17 over hurdles but he's been placed on five occasions and produced a career best when about 3l second behind Mask Of Zorro over C&D 22 days ago; worth considering on the revised terms with a visor added, but soft/heavy ground would be a possible negative.

Break Heart Hill
Has yet to show any worthwhile form over hurdles and was beaten 27l behind Mask Of Zorro over C&D last month; hard to make a case for.

Dawn's Desire
Well beaten on all runs since falling on debut, most recently when a 54l fourth of five at Exeter (2m2f, good to soft) last month; needs to find marked improvement for this switch to handicaps going up in trip.
