It's hard to look away from KING SHARJA who is unpenalised for his recent success. Rovinia and Based appeal as the biggest dangers.

Verdict
Opened his account for the season in 8-runner apprentice handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) 6 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Thats My Boy Luke. Escapes a penalty for that success and has great chance of following up.

Verdict
Been in great heart of late, finishing in the places on last 5 starts, including winning classified race at Lingfield last month. Unlucky not to finish closer when third of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7f, soft) 18 days ago, finishing with running left after being hampered. Merits consideration.

Verdict
Got off the mark over C&D back in June and made the frame twice the following month. Can have the run ignored when down the field at Southwell last time, meeting trouble and eased late on. First-time tongue strap goes on and can make presence felt.

Verdict
One of better efforts when making the frame at Lingfield last month though wasn't seen to best effect. Poorly drawn when beating just one home at Wolverhampton in 12-runner handicap at this course (6f) 3 days ago. Draw hasn't been too kind again.

Four-time course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Third of 7 in handicap (5/2) over C&D when last seen 15 months ago, unsuited by drop in trip. May just need this.

Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 17 days ago, slowly away. Back down markedly in trip. Others more persuasive.
