With further progress plausible, MR NUGGET is taken to follow up his solid C&D success. Covert Legend, with Rossa Ryan back on board, is second choice ahead of Risen Again who has place claims on his penultimate effort. High Court Judge has good recent form figures but may be in the assessor's grip now.[Steve Boow]

Has found a new lease of life this year; unable to complete a six-timer on latest outing but showed he's still in form; however, now has a career-high mark to overcome.
Record of 5-11 in handicaps, all on AW, the most recent win in September; no further progress since but ran creditably last time and can't be dismissed; tongue-tie added.
Well treated on best turf form but it's a long time since his last win; inconsistent results for current yard and latest defeat took his AW record to 0-10.
Five-race maiden who has produced his best two efforts when fresh; ran poorly last time but could rebound and possibly show progress on return from two-month absence.
Still a maiden but ran well (close third) over C&D on penultimate start; outstayed over 1m4f latest; possibilities back down in trip, provided he takes well to added cheekpieces.
Low-mileage 4yo; opened his account, despite rider dropping whip over 1f out, in C&D contest last month and the form looks good (beat a rival who was bidding for a five-timer); could well build on that win and improve further; respected.
Fairly useful at best but his form has been on the decline, latterly for new yard, and long losing spell continues; best watched unless the market speaks positively.
Only 1-18 but gained the success (8.5f) in sole attempt under Rossa Ryan, who is back on board today; on a workable mark and looks interesting, assuming he stays the new trip.
