Jamie Bond
Made a winning handicap debut in April 2023 but he's gone backwards since then; more promising signs here in December but he failed to back it up on New Year's Day; down in grade but carries risk.

Bibendum
Exposed maiden; should be making more of an impact at this level but if he were to run anywhere near the level he showed over C&D in November then he'd be a danger to all.

Pop Dancer
Dropped in the weights in the last 12 months; made a bold bid at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and this is weaker than he's accustomed to; others are still more appealing.

Pockley
Won three of his last four starts (the defeat came in a Class 5), most recently when well backed over C&D six days ago (Latin Five back in fifth); picked up smartly on that occasion and he's effectlvely only 3lb higher under a penalty.

Latin Five
Did well to win a C&D handicap on his return to action last month (first run after wind surgery); easy to back and met some trouble in running behind Pockley here last week; still looks feasibly weighted.

So Grateful
His losing run has gathered a head of steam but he went desperately close to ending it at Southwell last month (6f), pipped at the post by a thriving rival; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Henery Hawk
Back to form out of the blue when going down by only a neck to stablemate Shatin Venture in a C&D classified race on Monday; player if showing up in similar form but that's no certainty given his record.
