Six start the The Betdaq.co.uk Handicap on Monday afternoon. This is what Timeform make of their individual chances.
There's every chance this six-runner event could develop into a tactical affair. The ratings are headed by Singleb.
Leading Edge has been holding his form well this winter and won at Great Leighs in December. All of his wins have come at 5f/6f and it's possible that strongly-run races at those trips suit him better.
Mr Macattack is hard to weigh up after just two starts and has evidently not been the easiest to train. Interesting if there's any money for him, though this trip might be on the sharp side for him now.
Divertimenti was successful in first-time blinkers at Lingfield last month but raced too freely from his wide draw at Kempton next time, and needs everything to fall right for him.
Red Cape hasn't won for nearly two years and enjoyed the run of the race when second here last time. Likely he can again grab the lead but also that something will reel him in.
Singleb has been in good form since joining Gay Kelleway, landing sellers at this track and Great Leighs. The drop back in trip shouldn't trouble him and he should again go well for Jamie Spencer.
Downhill Skier was successful over course and distance last month and has continued to give a good account since, finding some trouble when second last time. Leading player.

This looks a good opportunity for Vertigo On Course, a fast-finishing third at Southwell last week. Young Dottie's success last month is working out well and she also makes appeal, while each-way players could do worse than side with Toolentidhaar....

Despite being the senior citizen of the party, Mister Nous retains plenty of ability, and having won five times in France appears ready to open his British account. The Rainbow Hunter could be more deadly now switched to handicaps and looks a big threat to the selection, with Strategic Plan rated third best....

Jim Tango is open to improvement over fences, and this looks to be Miss Pross' easiest task for some time, but the likeable Bamby gets the nod with conditions to suit back over fences....
