slightly awkward start, niggled along briefly soon after start, prominent on inner, outpaced and pushed along 3f out, rallied 2f out, ridden and went second over 1f out, kept on but no match for winner |

Has won twice since joining Mick Appleby in July and was a good second over C&D last month; only 1lb higher here but his form slumped at Newcastle last time and he needs to bounce back after that. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last September and she ran one of her best races since when second at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in May; not seen subsequently but warrants consideration on this classified debut. |

3rd Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Form dipped sharply the last twice; raced too freely on latest occasion and may settle better with hood now reapplied for first time since last May; good chance at the weights, granted a bounce-back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his second win when landing a C&D handicap in September but he's not hit the same level since and was tailed off at Lingfield in December; that run probably came too soon but he's not easy to predict and is still 4lb higher than for last win; comes with risks attached on return. |

Often front-runs yet was held up when never dangerous behind River Chorus at Wolverhampton on Friday (7f); should do better if reverting to usual tactics and he's a course winner with no stamina doubts. |

14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
10yo, whose win at Kempton (1m, AW) last February was his only score since 2018; unraced at shorter than 1m since 2020 but some of his recent starts (in the autumn and on penultimate outing) give him a chance. |
25/1 |

10th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual course winner (7f/C&D); not the force of old but showed in a Brighton handicap (1m, good; first-time hood) last September that he can still sometimes compete; below par lately; others push stronger claims. |
33/1 |

6th 11 (6) |
20th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Landed a 1m classified event at Kempton in February, ending a long losing run in the process; mixed record since joining Adam West and likely he will prove vulnerable once again. |

9st 8lb |
Was returning from ten months off when third of 11 in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good, first-time visor) in April (just behind My Kind Of Girl), but has twice run moderately at this level since, taking her record to 1-27; blinkers return. |

3rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but she ran her best race for a long time when a staying-on third here (6f, good) on stable debut in April; that was promising in new headgear after a lengthy absence and she's in the mix on this step back up in trip. |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Put up one of his better efforts when second of 12 behind a handicap blot at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month and was drawn wide when well held at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last time; now 0-19, though, and has stamina to prove upped in trip. |

Beaten only 2l but readily dealt with by B Associates in a 7f classified here 12 days ago (good), taking her career record to 0-43; probably that bit more effective down at 6f, but still brave to name this the day. |

41-race maiden but her best efforts on turf have been here; went off the boil in the spring but it was a respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; weakened gradually that day so the return to this trip might help a bit. |

10st 9lb |
Turned his attention to chasing fairly late in life but made a solid start when second of six at Wincanton in April; didn't back that up when never travelling at Hereford (also 2m, good) nine days ago and has a question to answer after that. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, all at around 2m; made a belated switch to fences last month and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Wincanton (2m, good), which also represented a return to some form; needs to back that up but he remains well treated and is one to consider. |

Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing. |
