18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who picked up the latest of his eight wins when scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good) last May; hasn't threatened in three starts this year, latterly in cheekpieces, and his powers of destruction may finally be on the wane; blinkers back on for the first time in over four years. |

Veteran who has picked up a race or two up to 1m2f in most seasons but has had just two runs this term, well beaten; won off 1lb higher last May; now tries cheekpieces (first headgear since 2021) and he's only once been over this sort of trip (2019). |

Course regular and often a front-runner whose losing run is up to 22, but he ran his best race for a while when fourth of 11 here (1m3f) seven days ago; 0-23 over this trip and further, though, which raises doubts. |

Fair on the Flat in his prime but has a lowly mark in that sphere nowadays; ran well to a point on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and might last longer on today's faster ground but others appeal more all the same. |

Off the mark at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June in her second handicap; no further progress but latest effort (1m2f, soft) gives some encouragement for this third attempt at 1m4f; needs to improve her AW form but most of that was at start of her career. |

Slightly disappointing at Perth last week but was placed on consecutive outings beforehand, once over C&D on fast ground; swaps blinkers for refitted visor (worn once on Flat in 2020); no surprise if she's on the premises. |

Could be given a chance on his fourth of 13 from 7lb higher here (8.6f) in September, but hasn't built on it and is yet to be placed in 13 attempts; looks a hard ride (can hang right) and others look safer. |

Couple of respectable efforts this year, including a fifth of 14 at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month, but he's an inconsistent 11-race maiden and was tailed off at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) last time; others are more convincing. |
