1lb lower than when chasing home Thapa Vc in the corresponding race 12 months ago; not come close to that level in three runs this year and this veteran may have to give best to younger rivals again. |

Proven winner but not in the best of form when last seen in the summer; a break needs to have had a reviving effect. |

Successful four times at Chepstow, including in this race (off 10lb higher) two years ago; holds poor claims on 2024 form but a revival would put him in the picture. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course regular who has dropped 1lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in April; far from disgraced when fourth of 12 back here (good) last month; has form on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) off today's mark for Stan Moore in April but not quite in that same form on any of three starts for current stable; others have more pressing claims. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner (same race in April the past two seasons), both under aggressive rides; again didn't look to see out 1m2f last time but he'd lost his way prior to that anyway. |

12yo who was disappointing here (1m) last Tuesday but did too much too soon in that amateurs' race; had previously been running consistently well (including over C&D) and he may well bounce back with a bold bid. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |
