Tricky customer. 6-time course winner. Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 12 to Finn Russell in handicap (9/1) at this course (9.5f) 15 days ago, clear of rest. May well be on the premises again.

Course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, never nearer. Claims if he can build on that.

One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago, doing too much too soon. Hood back on. Tough to assess at present.

C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in October. 5/1, lost all chance at the start when 7¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Kit Gabriel in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.

Unreliable individual. 10/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (9.5f) 15 days ago, all out. Player if in the same form.

Two wins from 6 runs last year. 9/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, overcoming trouble in running to lead late. Thriving now and excellent chance he can land the hat-trick.
Twirler

Course winner. First run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when sixth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 11 days ago. Others are more persuasive.
Timeform Verdict 
JERSEY ROCS has hit an upward curve all of a sudden and had more in hand than the bare result indicates when scoring over C&D last time, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of Kit Gabriel. Yeoman is another one to consider.
