Returned to form when going close at Chester (2m, soft) in June on his second and latest start of the season; his wins have come on soft and heavy going, and the slower the ground the better. |

Mudlark on turf and again had conditions in his favour when running respectably at Doncaster most recently; not disgraced off 6lb higher in last year's rescheduled November Handicap here and is attractively treated for this return to Tapeta. |

Hasn't really threatened this season but he's not been running badly and is back down to the mark off which he won at Nottingham (1m2f, heavy) last October; tends to come good in the autumn and he's not discounted. |

Well beaten on recent reappearance at Kempton but that was his first crack at 2m and he could improve for the run; won three times last year over about 1m4f (various ground); he might be a contender now back down in trip. |

Won at Newcastle in 2021 but came last at Wolverhampton in 2022 on his only other AW start, both on Tapeta; had turf wins last year at Windsor in May, Newbury in June and in Hungary in September, before two minor honours at Newmarket in the autumn; ran respectably on both attempts at 1m6f (last summer) but has more to prove going beyond that for the first time. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Often front-runner; made a solid start to this season before a flop at Salisbury in May; first run since when respectable third at York 13 days ago, perhaps stretched by the 2m; his wins have got more infrequent but he's a renowned mud lover and may well be thereabouts. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Creditable third in City And Suburban Handicap over C&D (soft) in April and now 6lb lower but has very mixed record for new stable this season and it's hard to know what to expect from him after last month's poor AW run. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |

Inconsistent results for new stable this term; respectable second of four at Goodwood (1m4f) most recently but now returns to a deeper field and is 0-5 on AW; not certain to back up latest effort. |

9st 10lb |
Scored at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) in May off 2lb higher mark; has only been placed once in seven starts since and finds himself on a career-low mark; doesn't seem ready to take advantage and best watched. |

Still just 1lb above his last winning mark and far from disgraced when fourth of 12 in a 0-80 at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last time; each-way claims if seeing out the longer trip. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

20th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
She made giant strides in quick time in the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster; disappointed at Haydock in May and again after five months off at Newmarket (1m4f, heavy); could resume her progress back on AW but she does now have a point to prove. |
7/1 |
|
9th 4 (7) |
3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
All of her five handicaps have been over longer trips; won two in a row this spring at Lingfield (2m, AW) and completed the hat-trick on turf debut at Doncaster (2m, soft; four ran); disappointing on good to firm in May and her chance is presumably boosted by a return to testing ground on this first run since; interesting to see her market strength, as she's one to consider. |

9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |

Veteran who is on a three-year losing spell, has something to find on 2024 efforts and has stamina to prove back up in distance; enough reasons to oppose him. |
