Verdict

ALZAHIR has displayed the odd quirk or 2 but having shaped much better than the bare result when gambled on at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, Jennie Candlish's 4-y-o gets the nod to regain the winning thread from his sliding mark. Chalk Mountain produced a rare poor effort at this course last month, so he's fancied to quickly bounce back, while Zip and Royal Zabeel were 1-2 at Newcastle recently, so both need keeping a close eye on, too.

Verdict
Useful sort who enhanced his excellent Kempton record over 1m in August, making all. Smashing effort when third in 6f conditions' event back there in October but wasn't in the same form at this C&D just over 8 weeks ago. Subsequently sold from Richard Hughes for 20,000 gns.

Verdict
18/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still in something of a lull, but is now below the mark he won from in the spring and first-time cheekpieces are applied.

Verdict
Latest win at Leicester in October. Well-backed 9/2, not seen to best effect when eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 3 weeks ago, finishing with running left after no room on inner over 1f out. It's possible he has a quirk or 2 but expected to be bang there.

Verdict
Opened his account for the year at Doncaster last month and was seen to maximum effect when following up in 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 3 weeks ago by ¾ length from Royal Zabeel, having run of race. Up another 5 lb but should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Verdict
17/2, first run since leaving James Tate (30,000 gns) when good ¾-length second of 12 to Zip in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 3 weeks ago, well positioned given how the race unfolded. There are races to be won with him, so he's one to look out for.

Verdict
Fared little better when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 20/1) 65 days ago, barely adequate test. First run for yard after leaving Michael Dods (14,000 gns) and is now back down to his last winning mark having an extremely rare all-weather outing.

Verdict
C&D winner. 5 wins from 18 runs this year, latest here in October. Found run of good form coming to a halt under a penalty when eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 44 days ago, doing too much too soon. Must bounce back.

Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in June. 6/1, wasn't at his best when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 8 days ago, too keen under a change of tactics. Each-way claims.
