LEDNIKOV came in for an enterprising ride yet still confirmed he's operating at the top of his game when running out a clear-cut winner here 10 days ago. Wisely turned out under a penalty, he's fancied to make a bold bid to follow up. Letmebetheboss, This Time Maybe and Nivelle's Magic are others worthy of consideration.

    Verdict
    3-time C&D winner who, aided by an enterprising ride, resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap at this course (11.1f) 10 days ago. No surprise to see him out quickly under a penalty and expected to be thereabouts again.

    Verdict
    Unreliable sort (refused to race on penultimate start) but put best foot forward when third of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago. Steps back up in trip with a hood on 1st time and each-way claims again with a repeat.

    Verdict

    Verdict
    3-time winner in 2023 who ran respectably in defeat on 3 of her 4 starts last year. Shaped as if needing the run following 10 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) on stable debut 20 days ago and no surprise to see a better showing.

    Dual purpose performer who has been in fine form over jumps in recent weeks, successful twice over fences prior to finishing a creditable second of 8 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Possibilities from his basement mark back in this code.

    Verdict
    Maiden who was holding form well before coming in 6½ lengths eighth of 12 to This Time Maybe in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 29 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see her bounce back.
