Maharajas Express
C&D winner; ran a sound race on stable debut when runner-up to an in-form rival over C&D last week; beaten favourite when fourth over 6f here on Saturday but raced freely and may benefit from the return to 5f; well worth considering.

Papa Don't Preach
Proved suited by first-time blinkers when winning off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) in October; hasn't been in quite such good form on last three starts so has a bit to prove at present.

Apache Star
Won a Bath handicap in August 2023 (5.5f, good to soft) but hasn't scored since; sound run in first-time blinkers when third over C&D a week ago (Maharajas Express second); headgear retained; place chance.

My Genghis
Won over 6f here and over 5.5f at Brighton (soft) before a good second over C&D in the autumn; below par last twice; needs to bounce back.

Buraback
Won four times last spring, including twice over 6f here; effective at 5f and following an encouraging C&D fourth last week he ought to go well again.

Next Second
Has been rather disappointing since winning over C&D for Josephine Gordon last July; others appeal more.
