Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

Rated 21lb higher when starting out for this yard in August; retains ability and interesting to see how he fares in the betting in relation to stablemate Lilkian now dropping into his first Class 6 handicap. |

He has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and there have been signs he may be ready to capitalise; this race might prove a shade too competitive though; new headgear enlisted today. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won twice over C&D early this year and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of them; showed signs of a return to form when fourth of nine at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid candidate. |

Without a win since summer 2020 but has made the frame three consecutive times in cheekpieces in recent weeks (5f-6f), and competes off another career-low mark here; sports first-time visor for this first run at Brighton. |

On a long losing run but is on a handy mark and ran his best race for a while when chasing home a well-treated one on Southwell AW 19 days ago; likes these conditions (all four wins on good to firm) and is likely to go well. |

The elder statesman in the line-up but he retains enthusiasm and won at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; has made the frame all five starts since; has a good record over this C&D and could be the answer. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins on the AW (rated 4lb higher than on turf) including one over C&D; went close at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate start, but is without a success since August 2022; others make greater appeal. |
10/1 |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Did well to go close at Redcar (5f) two weeks ago considering he probably didn't have the ideal track position; now 0-9 for current yard and 7lb higher back on AW but still looks well treated on historical data. |
7/1 |

2nd 7 (9) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Four AW wins for previous yard; 0-8 for current stable and has the same record on turf but he ran encouragingly on his most recent start in this sphere; attractively weighted. |

9st 3lb |
C&D winner in March 2022; 5f winner here last September (blinkered for the first time) when she ran on strongly; down the field in three runs since, tailed off at Doncaster 16 days ago on her first run after wind surgery; hopes pinned on the return to Wolverhampton working the oracle; blinkers replaced cheepieces today. |

Two-time AW winner (6f/5f), the latest last September, and she returns from a break having had wind surgery; however, she wasn't at her best the last twice (stable debut latest) and needs to get back on track. |

11th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

She won twice at Wolverhampton for Alice Haynes last year, notably a 5f handicap success in September; not quite so good back there the following month; sold for 21,000gns in November; cheekpieces the headgear of choice on this stable debut (has won in them before). |
