AW winner in July but inconsistent otherwise this year and doesn't look a solid option back on turf, especially having failed to score in this sphere since 2019.

Thrice-raced filly whose best RPR came on debut (sole attempt on ground softer than good); open to improvement now handicapping and back on a slow surface; interesting.

Second over C&D (soft) in April on seasonal/handicap debut; continued on the upgrade on her next three starts, with a close call in valuable race at Haydock (1m6f, good) on third occasion, before below-form favourite over 1m5f on heavy ground seven weeks ago; could bounce back with less extreme conditions today, for in-form yard and with the champion apprentice booked.

4yo whose four handicaps brought a Newbury win (1m4f, good) in May and three seconds; the latest was a close call in valuable race at Haydock (1m6f, good) two weeks ago, clear of the third; unraced on firmer than good (withdrawn once in July due to that ground); progressive and, although up another 5lb, should put up another bold show if the ground is okay.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up (something seemingly amiss) back on AW last time; runner-up in both attempts on turf (soft) and pedigree suggests she's well up to going one better, being the first foal of a four-time winner for her owner; respected on handicap debut.

9st 9lb

J: Georgia Dobie

No progress since going close on 1m2f turf debut and now has first run beyond that trip but she has some staying credentials, being out of a 2m winner (also placed in 1m6f Listed race) and was seriously checked in her run here in December; hood refitted; worth a look now handicapping.

Form dipped over 1m6f at Chester last time; solid record (2112) over 1m4f at Leicester otherwise since handicapping, the wins gained on soft ground; remains of interest, back down in trip.

Improved when switched to handicaps this summer, winning twice at Leicester (1m4f, soft) but only second of four when sent off odds-on for her hat-trick bid over the same C&D (good to firm) last time; return to softer ground would be a help and she is a half-sister to a winner over this trip; shortlisted.

Second on handicap debut on good to firm, followed by two wins (much better form) on soft and all three of those races were over C&D; up another 5lb but should go very well if the return to much firmer ground is okay.

Form & Verdict
Productive in the second half of his 2022 campaign, winning three times on ground softer than good; bounced back to form with second-place finishes the last twice, clear of remainder at Brighton (1m4f, good) latest; solid claims returned to slower surface.

Form & Verdict
Not at best since two sound efforts in April and losing spell goes back over two years; well-held sixth at Windsor (back from a break) yesterday; however, has notable Yarmouth form having been placed over C&D in October 2019/2022.

Betting Forcast

12/1 Pistoletto, 9/4 Waxing Gibbous, 11/2 Pourquoi, 9/2 Selenachorus, 4/1 Fen Tiger, 10/1 Das Kapital, 11/2 Churchill Rose

Verdict

Although he’s up against some unexposed 3yos, the in-form 5yo FEN TIGER holds solid claims on form and the return to slower ground looks a plus. Handicap debutantes Pourquoi (second choice) and Waxing Gibbous are interesting, while Churchill Rose is respected back at the scene of her win and Selenachorus has possibilities back down in distance.[Steve Boow]
