Verdict
In a competitive event, HAKU is up there with the form picks and he's taken to make it three wins from his last four starts. Skye Breeze could be dangerous if ready to go after a 213-day break, while Beraz has the credentials to be in the shake up if he can avoid a tardy start.

VerdictRan a respectable second (9/4) of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) in August. Disappointing on first run since leaving Daniel & Claire Kubler when tenth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (11f) 40 days ago but entitled to come on for that outing.

VerdictOff the mark at the third attempt (12f) before disappointing when tenth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (12.1f) in January following 14 months off the track. Returns from a further 294-day absence here suggesting this horse hasn't been easy to train, though he remains lightly-raced.- Ma Belle Artiste

VerdictBack-to-back winner of AW handicaps earlier this year, one of which came over C&D. Far from disgraced next 2 starts and easy to forgive his midfield York run in May having been left poorly placed. Respected on return having gone well fresh in the past.

VerdictRespectable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Epsom (1½m, soft) back in September. Struggled back down in trip on first run for new yard after leaving Alan King. Back up in trip today and that should see him in a better light.
