Maragun (GER) BF with double penalty latest, but back to back wins before indicate he has plenty of ability. Top weight on first handicap run but good jockey with valuable 3lb claim.
Caxton Star In form of late with easy back to back wins. Trip will suit and should be in the shake up.
Westender (FR) Comes here off two easy hurdle wins, also some decent runs on the flat. Has been prone to an unwillingness to start his races, but has been unbeaten since the blinkers were implemented; the one to beat today.
Spectrometer 7L beaten by Maragun latest (double penalty may have told). Off a good weight today and cannot be ignored.
Javelin Beaten 13L by Caxton Star last time off level weights, big weight advantage over him today but others preferred.
Red Sun Improved performance when just beaten at Sedgefield last time (well in front of the others). A winner on the flat but only has moderate chances in this company.
Dominikus Beaten nearly 9L by the very useful Telemoss on his first run back since June. His two wins have been at Hexham; place chances.
Kaikovra (IRE) 32L beaten by Caxton Star last time. Has shown ability in bumpers, but has a fair bit to prove today.
Bobosh Good effort when 2nd to Westender (9L beaten), unlikely to see him finishing much closer today.
Tumbleweed Glen (IRE) 17L beaten by Westender at 100/1 and nearly two stone out of the Handicap today; readily dismissed.
