Dam 7f winner (RPR 73), closely related to winners Perfect Venture (6f) and Perfect Bounty (6f/7f) out of half-sister to Listed winners Aahayson (6f) and Take Ten (5f UAE); stable has its share of winners first time out, but the outside stall is tricky for a newcomer. |

Handicapper giving him every chance but he's been below-par in two runs back on the AW; fine on Tapeta but does need a revival. |

C&D winner (from the front) who's slid to a handy mark; said to have hung right when below market expectations at Lingfield last time and needs to bounce back. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

While his 2026 campaign has been underwhelming, he has dropped down the weights and three of his last four runs have been creditable; each-way claims back into Class 6 company. |

Should be well handicapped but slow starts are holding him back; did well to finish fourth at Musselburgh recently but he seems risky these days. |

9-2 when third of seven on debut in a steadily run contest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month; should be suited by this extra furlong and better can be expected provided his wide draw isn't too much of a problem. |

Unplaced in four runs for Julie Camacho this year and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to earn him the vote. |

Won on debut for Charlie Appleby last May and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark; however, he's struggled since that debut win, including in handicaps the last twice, and a major turnaround is needed. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over C&D just over a year ago and added to his tally at Pontefract (1m, good) in June; returns here after respectable fourth in refitted cheekpieces on soft ground last month but might remain vulnerable off current mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Pontefract winner in June (1m, good); below-par both runs since; soft ground probably not ideal but could get the run of the race and is one to consider. |

Had a fitness query when below best on reappearance here in March but he acts well here and was a ready winner over 1m2f last September; best form of the year when taking a Pontefract handicap (1m) in June but out of sorts on only subsequent run. |

Not without promise when fifth of nine on his debut here (1m) in February, but didn't build on it when beating one home over C&D last month; may be one for handicaps after this. |
