Havana Sky
He's really upped his game in recent weeks and he was recording a four-timer when cosily seeing off six rivals over C&D last week (front pair clear); has a 6lb penalty to shoulder and he's also drawn widest but this is a drop in class and he's a strong contender.

5f turf win in May remains her only success from 18 attempts; two AW runs this autumn leave her with a bit to prove.

El Hibri
Won three 6f AW handicaps in the first half of 2024, the latest of them off a 2lb higher mark; not at his best in two runs back from a three-month break this winter but foolish to discount.

Collusion
Promising second at Yarmouth on his handicap debut in October (6f, soft); failed to back it up at Nottingham eight days later (5f, soft) and sold the following day for 9,000gns; been gelded; still has potential but he starts out for his new yard in a fair race for the grade.

Savannah Smiles
The winner of four 6f handicaps this year, one of them here; only seventh here last month but she had a miserable run up the home straight and is better than that suggests; others still appeal more for win purposes.

Shamardia
Won minor handicaps at Lingfield (6f, AW) and C&D in September; unplaced in three runs since but still looked in form when prominently ridden over 7f at Kempton last month; return to this trip should suit.

Southbank
Back to form with a bang when easily winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last week (for today's rider); 1lb well in under the 6lb penalty; has won over C&D; solid claims.

Won four on Polytrack in September/October; not beaten far over 5f here 13 days ago but others look more appealing today.

State Of Madness
Nine-race maiden but he's shown some promise this winter, beaten under 2l over 5f here 18 days ago; dropped another pound since and capable of winning a minor handicap; perhaps not this one from a wide stall though.

Himawari
Well beaten in two turf runs for this yard; goes without headgear after four months off; vulnerable.

Apache Star
Ended his turf campaign with a good second at Bath (5f, soft; goes well at that track); has a C&D win on his record and a good apprentice has been booked for his return to AW; one to consider.

Outer Edge
Won a 6f handicap at Chepstow in August; better form when second over C&D last month; up 2lb and he'll need another personal best but that's not out of the question given his profile.
