19th Jun 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Poor form in three maiden/novice runs (5f-7f); bred to do better at some stage but not easily recommended now handicapping. |

9st 9lb |
Has been placed a few times and drops to this level for the first time, but ran poorly on his reappearance at Chester (7.7f, good) in June and has been off another 73 days since; blinkers need to make a difference if he is to make it 16th-time lucky. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Beverley (1m2f, soft) last July and followed up over this C&D (good); tailed off here next time and down the field on last month's comeback at Beverley, but he may have needed that latest run; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back-to-back wins last summer came over 1m2f here (soft) and when narrowly making all at Catterick (1m4f, good); both wins came under Tom Kiely-Marshall but they also featured cheekpieces, which are missing for this comeback; mark is fine if he is ready. |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Recent wins under Tom Kiely-Marshall (1m2f, soft; 1m4f, good) were by narrow margins so has only gone up 2lb; made the most of a soft lead here last time and he'll need to see out this longer trip, but clearly a contender. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Triple-figure prices for four runs to date, finishing last three times and well beaten here 11 days ago; again didn't see out 1m latterly, though, and this is more realistic. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |

22nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Improved form in first-time visor (retained since) when 66-1 runner-up in juvenile hurdle over C&D in November on her third jumps start; however, she failed to confirm that promise here last month and needs to bounce back on today's handicap hurdle debut. |

17th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Well beaten on first two hurdling starts but, with a visor added, belied 66-1 odds when keeping-on second to Game Management over C&D (good) last month; 7lb better off with that rival today and a contender if the headgear continues to aid. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to win (0-8); slight uptick since competing over 1m, but he still didn't appear the easiest to handle when only fourth of seven in a weak 0-55 at Musselburgh (good); tackles 1m2f for the first time on AW debut. |

No better for going beyond sprint trips for the first time here three weeks ago (7f) and is seemingly exposed as moderate. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Beat only three rivals at Brighton but the second was bang in form (1m, good to firm); struggled off this career-high mark at Chepstow. |

11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Accounted for a hat-trick seeker when making all at Brighton last time (1m, good to firm), and form of her C&D close second before that has been boosted by the winner and sixth since; new career-high mark. |

Running well since the visor went on (24142) and only beaten half a length at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; races off the same mark but this is her first visit here. |

Verdict
Land Lover brings the strongest form credentials but he’s come up short five times now and Ayr last time was a backward step. Preference is for SALAMANCA LAD who has been gelded since showing plenty of promise at York in May. The newcomers need checking in the market, with Alice’s Impact one to note in particular.[Alistair Jones]
