1
1st (4) Algheed (9/1 +10%)
Algheed

9/1(+10%)
(4) Algheed 9/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/4) 17 days ago, pushed along 2f out and keeping on. She's not the easiest to win with.
2
2nd (10) Broxi (8/1 +33%)
Broxi

8/1(+33%)
(10) Broxi 8/1, 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in October. 15/2, creditable ½-length third of 11 to Starshiba in handicap at this C&D (AW) 24 days ago. Expected to give it another good shot from a handy draw.
3
3rd (1) Starshiba (3.5/1 +0%)
Starshiba

3.5/1(+0%)
(1) Starshiba 3.5/1, Ended long losing run over C&D at the start of the month and did well under the circumstances to follow up over 1m here 9 days ago having conceded first run. 3 lb higher now but likely to make bold bid to land the hat-trick.
4
4th (6) Gidwa (3.5/1 +0%)
Gidwa

3.5/1(+0%)
(6) Gidwa 3.5/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago, kept up to work. 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another good showing.
5th
5th (2) Maysong (7.5/1 -36%)
Maysong

7.5/1(-36%)
(2) Maysong 7.5/1, Infrequent winner but knocking firmly on the door of late, again finding only one too good at Chelmsford (7f) 12 days ago. No surprise to see him give another good account.
6th
6th (8) Fighting Temeraire (50/1 -317%)
Fighting Temeraire

50/1(-317%)
(8) Fighting Temeraire 50/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in July. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford (7f) 30 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Others preferred.
7th
7th (11) One Step Beyond (40/1 -21%)
One Step Beyond

40/1(-21%)
(11) One Step Beyond 40/1, Enjoyed a productive summer, bagging fourth AW success at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in August. Not seen to best effect back from a break when sixth in 11-runner handicap here 17 days ago but mark does demand that little bit more.
8th
8th (7) Arctician (9/1 +18%)
Arctician

9/1(+18%)
(7) Arctician 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 11/1) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive.
9th
9th (5) Mighty Gurkha (4.5/1 +25%)
Mighty Gurkha

4.5/1(+25%)
(5) Mighty Gurkha 4.5/1, Three-time winner on AW and back on track from easing mark when 2 lengths fourth in 9-runner Wolverhampton handicap (6f) 2 weeks ago. Steps back up to 7f now but losing run does temper enthusiasm.
10th
10th (3) Mount Mogan (33/1 -83%)
Mount Mogan

33/1(-83%)
(3) Mount Mogan 33/1, C&D winner in January who ran below best on turf earlier this year. However, mark has eased and likely his first start for 4 months at Chelmsford in November will have blown the cobwebs. Not one to write off.
11th
11th (9) Havana Goldrush (16/1 +27%)
Havana Goldrush

16/1(+27%)
(9) Havana Goldrush 16/1, 7/1, creditable 3¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Starshiba in handicap at this course (1m, AW) 9 days ago, weakening final 1f. Eased 3 lb since if he can build on that returned to 7f.
