This can go to the tough CARLTON, who is four out of four over 1m6f at Chelmsford since joining James Owen, the latest win coming on Saturday. Mr Zippi and Daaris look his main dangers.[Colin Russell]

Consistent sort but not that easy to win with; gained first AW success with blinkers back on over C&D last month; beaten a short head and 0.5l in his two runs since (2m here/2m at Newcastle); each-way chance.
Dual bumper winner in spring 2023 (2m, good); yet to win on the AW, best effort when staying-on fourth off this mark at Southwell (1m4f) last time; step back up in trip should suit; chance.
In great form since joining James Owen, winning all four races, all over 1m6f at Chelmsford, the latest on Saturday (driven right out); has another penalty and switched to a different surface but he has won on Newcastle Tapeta; good chance again.
14-race maiden; fair efforts both AW starts, finishing third at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) and 4l eighth of 11 at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta); needs to improve for the step up to 1m6f.
C&D success in June 2023 and first win since when successful in a 2m handicap at Lingfield recently; back up 2lb; this looks tougher but good apprentice booked.
Won over 1m4f (has won over 1m6f) here in October off 1lb lower; not run as well on last four starts, latest at Lingfield last week, and others stronger.
Bought for 3,400gns out of Charlie Fellowes' yard in November; only win was a 2m Lingfield turf handicap in July last year; probably best watched on stable debut after a break.
