Handicapped to win but he's rather been going through the motions this summer; has form at this track but over further and he may be ideally suited by more of a test. |

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. |

Never getting there in time at Yarmouth latest (6f) and remains winless below 1m; on a winning mark, but may require a pace collapse. |

14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

In fair form on AW around the turn of the year (over further); drop to 6f and return to turf saw him well beaten at Brighton six weeks ago; may need more of a test. |

Both wins have been at 1m on Polytrack and latest was in January 2022; had some close calls during the winter but he's been well below form in last two starts (7f/6f) and has a tough draw on this switch back to Tapeta; others preferred. |

9st 0lb |
Could be given a chance on his fourth of 13 from 7lb higher here (8.6f) in September, but hasn't built on it and is yet to be placed in 13 attempts; looks a hard ride (can hang right) and others look safer. |
16/1 |

1st Dec 2022 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden who has come down a stone in the weights this year; has only had a few starts on the AW and this step back up in trip, with the cheekpieces back on, ought to help; considered. |
12/1 |

5th 10 (2) |
10th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Couple of respectable efforts this year, including a fifth of 14 at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month, but he's an inconsistent 11-race maiden and was tailed off at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) last time; others are more convincing. |

Won a Thirsk handicap for Mark Walford in June 2024 (1m, good to firm); lightly raced since, but was a good third at Leicester on stable debut this year (1m, good to firm); lesser run on AW latest; place chance. |

Sole win came over 1m round Brighton; has run well in three starts here this year, including from yet another wide stall when just behind Come To Pass last time; is one of the likelier winners. |

Lightly raced filly who kicked off her handicap career with a staying-on fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last Friday; that was an eyecatching effort at a big price after a break and she's open to more progress on this step back up in trip; dangerous. |

Finished third in this contest 12 months ago but is far from certain to repeat that effort; has lost his form badly since finishing second at Chepstow in June and needs to rebound. |
