Dual course and distance winner BLENHEIM STAR (5) is provided relief by the handicapper. Ran well first time out last season and fancied to go well on comeback. OTAGO (4) is a five-time course winner over 7f. Just about stays this longer trip and rates a serious player if ready on first start of the season. Market likely to be informative. MARSH BENHAM (1) possesses a fabulous record around here. May progress. KRACKING (6) is another making the shortlist after finishing third from a marginally higher mark tackling AW last time.
69643
Better run last start when 4.5 lengths adrift in third over 7f at Chelmsford. Should be right in the finish.
85216
Got home by a neck at Southwell All Weather two starts ago. Disappointed last time at Southwell All Weather when 2.75 lengths from the winner in sixth. Great chance to atone.
2874
Has not raced since finishing fourth over 1m at Great Yarmouth on September 19. Great chance.
1157
Has not raced since finishing 7 lengths away in seventh over 1m1/2f at Epsom Downs on September 12. Best form gives him a decent chance.
2181
Returns after a break of six months. Last appeared when successful by 2.25 lengths at this track over 7f on October 17. Expecting he will pick up where he left off.
6160
Hasn't raced since finishing tenth over 1m1f at Newmarket (Rowley) five-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a bold showing.
