Chief Sunday
Outsider of three on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m, soft) but won that with a bit up his sleeve by 2l; up 5lb but the second has won since and Toby McCain-Mitchell claims 7lb (Sam Twiston-Davies aboard last time).

Both handicap wins on good ground but handles soft; his third at Southwell was after a lengthy break and 2m5f may have stretched him at Ludlow, where he backed out of it late on; could go well.

Monsant
Displayed promise in Irish maiden hurdles; however, made no impact in a handicap for previous yard and a similar tale on debut for this one at Wincanton (33-1).

Activist
Back from a break to win at Leicester (1m7f, good to soft) and perhaps heavy ground was all too much when tailed off back there in early December; has never been the easiest to predict but very capable of having some say.

- Chad Bament / A J Honeyball

9/4 |
Double Dragon
Won a Ffos Las maiden on good ground and has performed respectably in both handicaps (soft/good to soft) without looking ahead of his mark; did threaten in the latest at Wincanton and Chad Bament takes away 10lb this time.

Falco Des Pins
Second in one of his four French runs; pulled up and tailed off in 2m4f/2m5f handicaps for this yard but Venetia Williams will no doubt find the key to him; looks best watched for now, though.

Casi Crudo
Bang there in 2m handicaps during 2023 on either side of a 200-day absence; never counted on his belated comeback run but that was at Ascot and it could have blown away the cobwebs.

3/1 |
Lanesborough
Placed in both his Irish points; has yet to land any sort of blow under rules but there have been mildly positive signs and this could be his level now sent handicapping in a Class 4.

14/1 |
Voix De Bocelli
0-6 on the Flat, 0-2 over fences and 0-8 as a hurdler after going down by 14l in a handicap at Wincanton; others preferred, including Double Dragon who was ahead of him last time.

Dartman
Never won but wasn't bad on the Flat; similar story over hurdles in that he's hinted at winning potential but has flattered to deceive; this is his handicap debut, though.

Miss Pearl
9yo mare who is an eight-race maiden and has been absent for 546 days; has yet to make the frame.
