Returned to form with 28-1 third over C&D last month but he failed to back that up at Newcastle last Saturday and is now 0-11 since his last win ten months ago; down the list. |

1m2f winner (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last October, when with Kevin Ryan; below that level of form this season but his better efforts give him an each-way chance. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

Arrives at the top of his game, scoring twice over 1m here before a good second of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; firmly in the picture off the same mark. |

C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Infrequent winner (1-29); toiled at Wolverhampton and Redcar since returning from a short break; placed on three of his six starts at Musselburgh, including when twice beaten by a neck over C&D, which does provide scope for optimism. |

Sole win came over C&D (good) in 2023; two close calls over 1m at Musselburgh dotted in and around some ordinary efforts since and he doesn't look in peak form right now after defeats here and on Wolverhampton AW. |

Verdict
Nine Elms has already won twice over C&D this season but he looks a shade vulnerable off a career-high mark and this might go to KINZ, who ran well over 7f on last month’s seasonal/stable debut and is likely to be suited by today’s move back up in trip. Kalahari Prince (second choice) has been shaping as though he can capitalise upon some help from the handicapper soon, while Obee Jo is also likely to feature.[Chris Wilson]
