10st 0lb |
Won three in a row at this track (1m6f/2m) in autumn 2023; second favourite when back-to-form third at Southwell three weeks ago, beaten 1l despite badly blowing the start; he is usually slowly but not that badly, so should be in serious calculations. |

Won three in a row on Polytrack at Chelmsford (1m6f/2m) last autumn but he's been well held in last three starts; may have needed the run on Chelmsford reappearance 15 days ago but he needs to get back near best here. |

11st 8lb |
Consistent but modest form in staying handicaps on Flat in 2023, including a win at Wetherby (good to firm); left Ian Williams for 8,000gns that October; has plenty of stamina for this new discipline but he returns after a long layoff and this looks a tough starting point over hurdles. |

24th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
5-28 on AW compared to 1-17 on turf; may have needed his only start this summer (50-1, turf) and he's well handicapped given some of last year's AW and turf form, so he needs a second look in the returning cheekpieces which did the trick for him off this mark over C&D last December. |

1m3f wins here and at Windsor (good) last autumn came racing prominently; unfailingly consistent back over further under mostly rather more patient tactics since, and interesting to see how he's played tonight. |

Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last August, but just 1-30 and both efforts since returning for this yard last month have been poor; look elsewhere. |

1-29, the sole win in 2021; had quite a few minor honours last year, including a close second over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in August off today's mark, but this month's first run for a new yard was a heavy defeat. |

16th Dec 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his three most recent course starts, over 1m6f in May and June, and went very close off this mark at Newcastle (2m) in July; can come on for his recent return to action at Southwell; major role likely. |
6/1 |

Seen mostly on Tapeta and has more to prove on Polytrack, as shown by latest start; 1m6f wins at Wolverhampton this May and June, with a close call at Newcastle on penultimate start, but there's a bit more for him to prove with the 105-day absence. |

Front-running C&D wins in two of her last three starts, readily accounting for her rivals eight days ago; suspicion she'll need more to defy a penalty in a race featuring other recent winners. |

Inconsistent of late; however, opened her account in C&D handicap (soft; made all to beat Aighear) on most recent turf start and enters calculations returned to this scenario. |

Ran twice over 1m last July for James Tate, with a whiff of ability on second occasion; sold for 6,500gns that August and had gelding/wind operations before tailed off when 150-1 at Newmarket (1m4f) four weeks ago; no solid claims but going handicapping is much more realistic. |
