Productive 2022 campaign included five wins (7f-8.5f, turf/AW); close second in fillies' handicap at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie applied) on New Year's Day; leading player off same mark (likely to go up in weights once reassessed). |

Consistent spell on Tapeta over the winter and continued the good work back on turf when close second of six at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he's never won above a mark of 75, though. |

C&D win last summer came off 18lb lower and he returns to turf 10lb higher than when last running on grass, thanks to a consistent spell on Tapeta; will need something close to a career-best to take this and he's not improving at his age. |

9st 11lb |
Has gained both wins at 7f but last two efforts suggest she's worth this drop to 6f; however, whether she's up to defying top weight on first crack at sprinting is another matter. |

9st 6lb |
Two 7f wins at Lingfield (Polytrack) from her first eight starts but she didn't fire when back from a short break at Kempton last month; still 2lb higher than for last win in July and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |

Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

Dropped in the weights for this yard and he showed his first sign that he may be ready to capitalise when third of 13 over 7f at Kempton last week (made the running; today's accessories tried for the first time); one to consider dropped further in grade. |

Lurks on a dangerous mark (three-time winner) but is hard to trust on the back of some uninspiring efforts; always a chance that cheekpieces will trigger something. |

Four-time C&D winner, the latest last July when 1lb lower; has been well beaten in both subsequent starts, the latter back here last November; bit to prove after that but dangerous to rule him out. |

All four of his wins have come over C&D, the latest off 2lb lower in July (good Topspeed figure for the grade); unsighted behind Dourado on turf in July but likely to be seen in a more favourable light here. |

26th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Not looked back since the visor went on, winning his first five including three here (1m2f-1m4f); only just missed out in a 1m4f handicap here 19 days ago and a 3lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |
13/8 |

2nd 16 (1) |
7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Won first five starts after visor fitted in February, including twice over C&D; has proved that he can be effective outside of 0-50 classified company and may have had excuses when only third of seven (sent off at 1-2) last week but this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
31st Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
5-5 since the visor was fitted, the last two wins coming over C&D; had plenty up his sleeve when scoring on Saturday and he's a serious player despite a 5lb penalty. |
