Without a win since December 2022 and absent since below-par turf run in June last year; probably better suited by 1m+ nowadays; not the most obvious answer. |

Three wins this year, including when making it tenth time lucky on turf in a classified claimer at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month; only beat three rivals and has more to do back in a handicap. |

Prominent racer with two AW wins to his name this year; not at his best at Chelmsford when last seen eight weeks ago but he's the pick of today's weights and ran well over C&D on his one run at Catterick. |

Two 1m wins here in October 2021 but he has a patchy record since and was a long way below form at Kempton last time; now returns to this track and this step back up in trip should be fine but he comes with risks attached; change of headgear. |

Won twice over C&D in October 2021; made an encouraging return from an absence when fourth over C&D seven weeks ago (raced wide in the straight) but he wasn't helping his rider in the closing stages and may be vulnerable for win purposes once more. |

He has never been prolific and he hasn't found his best form since joining this yard and returning from a year off; down in the weights as a result and worth a precautionary market check. |

All six of her wins have been at either Brighton or Yarmouth, and she's been off since finishing fifth of 12 at the former track in October; handles most underfoot conditions but may need this return. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Fifth in this last year (Blue Collar Lad second); her six wins have been split evenly between here and Yarmouth (7f-1m) and she seems to handle most underfoot conditions; her staying-on fourth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago offers some hope. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Six wins, all on good or faster but fully effective on soft ground; chance if back to the level she showed when landing two 7f handicaps at Yarmouth in midsummer but not at her best on last three starts. |

Often pulled hard in the past and has lost the plot in recent times; the tongue-tie goes back on as he ventures beyond an extended 1m for the first time; will need to settle much better if he's to see it out. |

Beaten only 2l but readily dealt with by B Associates in a 7f classified here 12 days ago (good), taking her career record to 0-43; probably that bit more effective down at 6f, but still brave to name this the day. |

41-race maiden but her best efforts on turf have been here; went off the boil in the spring but it was a respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; weakened gradually that day so the return to this trip might help a bit. |
25/1 |
Verdict
Vitesse Du Son is respected but looks no good thing to follow up his Wolverhampton win, which came at the expense of an 80-1 shot. Nick Vedder (second choice) and Eagle Eyed Freddie should be involved but LAKE SAND is tempting off his good mark following an encouraging latest effort.[Alistair Jones]
