9st 9lb |
Sole win from 35 starts came at Yarmouth (7f, soft) in September 2023 but she's been poor there on her last five starts, including on her only previous try at this trip; others preferred. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 34 starts came in a 0-65 handicap here (7f, soft) just under two years ago; poor in her last four starts and a hood (worn previously) replaces first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |

Sole win in 33 starts came in a 0-65 handicap over C&D (soft) just under two years ago; poor in her last three starts and the switch to blinkers needs to make a big difference. |

Garnered his third success of 2023 in 1m2f Chelmsford selling handicap 11 days ago; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

9st 3lb |
1m1f winner on soft ground in July; ran to a similar level when fifth of 13 over C&D on Saturday, his first attempt at this distance; Ben Curtis takes over from a 7lb claimer and he's not ruled out. |
8/1 |

Fine with 1m1f in the summer but started life in sprints and has never been quite this far; will need to better Thursday's Southwell effort. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
33/1 |

31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |

AW winner has also won on soft and is quite versatile trip-wise too; 1m2f was probably too far at Navan last time, could be a contender back in trip here. |

7th May 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 2f 0y |

Has won over 6f, 7f and 1m so has stamina to prove over this new trip; if he does stay then looks in good enough form to take a hand. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
First sign that she can make an impact when third at Ffos Las (extended 7f, good to soft) four weeks ago but it was a weak four-runner affair; cheekpieces added now; much less exposed than most of these. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Nowhere in her three qualifying runs over 7f and was well held again on her handicap debut at Leicester (6f, soft) last time; was always on the back foot after missing the break in that race but she needs a transformation back up in trip; tongue-tie discarded after one use. |

Has no more than hinted at ability in three qualifying runs but she is unexposed now switching to handicap company with a tongue-tie added; one to note in the betting. |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Tailed-off last in one start in Ireland last autumn and although her fourth of seven on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month was better, it still leaves her with plenty to find. |

Poor strike-rate; went close on his stable debut in August (6f, soft) and after three poor runs he offered a bit more when in midfield over 6f here on Saturday; others look stronger. |

30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

1-36; did go close at Lingfield (6f, soft) on yard debut in August but has failed to beat a rival in two outings here since; visored first time. |
