Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Will find this easier than his latest assignment but has basically been disappointing since his soft-ground win at Doncaster (7f) in April and needs to up his game. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Soft-ground winner over 7f in April but he hasn't finished strongly on latest three attempts at 1m and was right out of it on latest start (7f) in July; often wears headgear but none today; 4lb wrong. |

Slightly disappointing when last in action but generally in good form this summer, most notably when winning Lingfield classified race (7.6f, good to firm) in June; each-way claims at least if back on song. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt, in a classified at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in June; similar form on all three starts since and should be on the premises; tongue-tie (last worn in December) returns. |

Not beaten that far on his last three outings and the latest was after 133 days off; last seen on turf last July and he's very well handicapped on that form, but his strike-rate of 1-31 tempers enthusiasm. |

Respectable third on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in March but he's taken backward steps in his three runs since and was tailed off at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) last time; mark continues to fall but he needs to turn things around; blinkers (tried on second start) go back on. |

Veteran; no win since the summer of 2023 (1m, Chepstow) but still appears to retain a zest for racing; runner-up at Chepstow (7f) in September, and there were positives to be taken from his fifth-place finish at Chelmsford (7f; 40-1) in November; others appeal more. |

Fair comeback over C&D last weekend but she was allowed her own way and she's gone well fresh in the past; does like it here but rain would suit others better and Kieran O'Neill, up for her sole win, partners stablemate Tidal Storm. |

Has gone well fresh before and is effectively off the same mark as when making all over C&D around this time last year; finished last season with a whimper but there's every chance she'll get her own way in front, in which case she could go well. |

Verdict
It’s worth giving another chance to BANTRY, who didn’t fire when favourite at Lingfield last month but was a clear second to a next-time-out winner over C&D two starts ago and is only 1lb higher today. Unexposed 3yo Lucidity may benefit from today’s drop back in trip and she’s feared most. Eye Of The Water (placed behind the selection here in May) and Thewaytothestars are others to consider.[Chris Wilson]
