Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Thahab Ifraj (8.45 Kempton)

Slipped to good mark judged on last year's form and shaped with more promise when fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Down in grade here so any improvement should put him in the frame.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Flavius Titus (2.45 Lingfield)

Landed a Kempton maiden on his final start last term, begins life in handicaps on a fair mark and can add to his tally.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Black Caesar (4.45 Lingfield)

Shaped as though he needed his recent outing and this course-and-distance winner can strike off a mark of 70.
