Form & Verdict
His only three runs on sand since the end of 2021 have been in class 2 handicaps and this is clearly easier; ran better in the Ayr Bronze Cup than 12th place suggests and not disgraced upped to 7f latest either.

J: Oisin Orr

Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives.

Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this.

6f winner here (C&D record of 2215) and at Southwell during 2024; unable to convert chances off higher marks since and he's now 0-15 in handicaps when racing off marks of 65 or higher; others look better treated.

J: Ray Dawson

T: Alan Brown

Rarely runs at this track but has won six times over 6f on Tapeta at Newcastle/Southwell and belied 33-1 odds when close third over 7f here in July; could not get involved from off the pace at Southwell (6f) last month but a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light.

Has won on turf but better on the AW and gave it a good go under a front-running ride last month at Wolverhampton (7f; just behind On Key); better known for his exploits at this trip; an exposed 9yo but not without hope.

More prolific on turf but netted her one Polytrack win over this C&D off 14lb lower in 2022; only headed inside the distance in a 0-80 here last month, and drops into a class 5 handicap for the first time.

Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear.

Two-day turnaround likely excuses his blowout in a Kempton claimer latest (backed into odds-on favouritism); placed on all turf and Polytrack starts before that this autumn and too well treated to leave out.

Hierarchy

9st 9lb

J: William Carver

T: Jamie Osborne

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

J: William Carver

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.

Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D).

Two years and 13 starts since his sole win (7f, soft), and although ahead of Hierarchy in a Polytrack claimer latest he didn't produce enough himself to suggest his turn is near; new career-low mark.

Legend Of Leros

9st 7lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David Evans

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed.

Wolverhampton (AW) and Windsor (heavy) novice wins the last twice came over 5f, although her future likely lies over further based on pedigree; way more progressive than any here and mark looks fine.

5f winner here as a 3yo whose losing run is up to 14, but she has finished runner-up on the Kempton Polytrack (7f/1m) the last twice; up 1lb but still high on the list with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.
