Spartan Arrow
Won a Listed race in France (5f, good) in June and he travelled strongly when landing a Group 3 at Dundalk (5f, Polytrack) in October; was as good as ever in that last run and his AW record (2011) includes a win over C&D; big player again back in a handicap.

Equality
Group 3 winner in 2023 but he's been out of sorts in his last three runs including when back from a long absence in a Listed race at Southwell (6f) three weeks ago; dropped another 5lb but he has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround.

Rhythm N Hooves
Seven-time winner, with three on turf and four on AW; last success was at Newbury in August and he's been knocking on the door on Tapeta in last three starts; on same mark as for his close third at Newcastle last time and he should make another bold bid.

Alligator Alley
Resurgent 8yo who made it four wins from his last six starts when completing a hat-trick over C&D on Monday; 4lb higher under another penalty but he remains well treated on old form and is strongly respected.

Baldomero
Took advantage of a reduced mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but that was a 0-85 contest and he found things tough in a Class 2 there six days later; only 1lb lower than for that last run and he could be vulnerable again; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns.

Blinky
Dual Tapeta winner who was runner-up at Southwell in October but he was held in fifth behind Alligator Alley there three weeks ago; still 3lb higher than for his last success and has some work to do back up in grade.

Cloud King
Won at Chelmsford in August and he's finished runner-up behind Alligator Alley on Tapeta and Polytrack in his last two starts; should go well again and he's 3lb better off with his old rival on last week's form.
