Two fine runs at the Ayr Western meeting in September, second over 6f on the Friday before finishing strongly to lead towards the finish over 7f the following day; not in the same form twice since and now tackles AW for only the second time in his long career. |

9st 9lb |
Easy winner of a Redcar novice (7f, heavy) a year ago and in the frame in four of his five starts in handicaps this season, as when a close fourth of 12 at Ayr (7f, good to soft) last month; down another 1lb and each-way claims; stable also runs Sezaam. |

Easy winner of a novice at Redcar (7f, heavy) on final 2yo start and similar form when placed twice in 1m handicaps this summer; faded into a below-form fifth over the extended 1m at Hamilton last time and now drops to a bare 7f for the first time since Redcar. |

9st 12lb |
Twice ran well returned to the AW at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last month, finishing third of 11 (just behind Sir Oliver) and going down by a neck five days later; 1lb rise merely puts him back on his last winning mark, but he is another drawn wider than ideal. |

Off the same mark as when beating three rivals over C&D in May and 1lb lower than when winning at Doncaster (7f, good) in July; only beaten a length into third of 11 back here last Saturday and a major player, especially if responding positively to the new headgear combination. |

Five handicap wins this season (good/good to firm), including over C&D, and he's run fair races here the last twice; however, testing ground is a worry as he was well beaten in July on his sole encounter with soft going. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Five handicap wins this season, including over C&D; the latest success came at Carlisle (7f, good) at the end of August and he recorded another sound effort there (7f again) when third ten days ago; made late headway from the rear for a never-dangerous eighth of 20 in the Bronze Cup here on Friday and will be suited by the return to 7f. |

3yo who has won five times this year (good/good to firm), four of them at 7f (including here) and one over 6f; good third at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) latest and the fast pace in this big field will be a plus; chance. |

Completed a turf hat-trick (6f/7f) earlier in the year and, having dropped below his last winning mark, has finished third in both starts since returned to Tapeta, including over C&D three weeks ago when splitting Thapa VC and Visibility; down another 1lb and shouldn't be far away. |

9st 7lb |
1m novice winner on soft in April and acquitted himself well when sixth of 14 in the traditionally strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f) on his handicap debut in May; hasn't advanced his form since but most efforts have been respectable and the drop back in trip is worth a go after he faded into fifth over 8.6f at Wolverhampton latest. |

Delivered on earlier promise when narrow winner of Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April and was creditable sixth in valuable handicap when upped to 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; good claims if judged on that evidence but wasn't in same form on last two outings (cheekpieces added last time). |

Has form figures of 212 over C&D, all on soft/heavy ground, the win gained off only 1lb lower in this race last year (runner-up in 2021); best effort this term when second here in May; respected back in this scenario. |

Showed the benefit of her debut run in June (1m, good to firm) when making all in a 6f novice at Carlisle (good to soft) two weeks later on final start for Keith Dalgleish; not disgraced under a penalty at Thirsk (7f, good) for new yard in August and she brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut. |
