11st 7lb |
Had the run of things up front when winning at Market Rasen (3m, good) in August; well held in both his runs since, latterly behind Great D'Ange; an easy lead would help but that's not guaranteed. |

Beat Lough Salt by (5lb better off) by 2.5l when winning over C&D last month (3m, good); didn't jump that well when third at Fontwell last time (2m3f, good to soft); return to 3m will suit. |

10st 2lb |
Dual chase and hurdle winner (all 3m good or slower); still throws in an occasional competitive effort but has to shrug off three below-par recent performances. |

Runs well now and again but she's a 35-race maiden and again out of the weights. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Completed a double in a 2m6f handicap at Stratford (good) in October 2021 but he's had only five runs since and has failed to complete in three of them; now 5lb lower than for his last success but was pulled up at Worcester last month and others are more convincing; blinkers added. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up at Fakenham last month, on return from a year off; just three ran in that event and likely to need a great deal more to win this, though on a fair mark based on his two wins in the autumn of 2021. |

17th Oct 2024 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Three-time chase winner who returned to form from out of the blue with a second at Market Rasen (3m, good); softer ground would temper enthusiasm but fair chance otherwise. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Scored twice over fences last season but he's yet to hit top form this time around, beating only one at Fontwell (3m2f) in June; others appeal more. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Had very modest 1-21 strike-rate in Irish points and is 0-9 under rules but hasn't been with Laura Morgan long and ran better than eventual 19l defeat might suggest when a weakening sixth at Stratford (3m3f, good) last week; 5lb lower here; not out of this. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-21 in Irish points and she's not achieved much in her seven runs under rules; finished tailed off on her chase/stable debut at Southwell (2m4f) last month and was pulled up back over hurdles last time; others preferred. |
