Course form can be important here so consider INVICTUS GOLD (3) racing for trainer Tom Clover. Returned from six months off with a solid third-place finish tackling track and trip last month and remains on an upward trajectory. THE DRAGON KING (7) looks versatile ground-wise and must enter calculations with William Buick booked making his first start since winning a course and distance handicap in October. There could be more to come from recent Wolverhampton (6f) runner-up HOODIE HOO (11) who is hard to ignore delivering handicap debut. DARK CLOUD RISING (8) also warrants thought.
