20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Two wins this season and close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month; latest run was also on heavy when below form at Ayr (off his highest mark for a long time) but he's one to consider. |
11/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month and won comfortably at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) next time; only fourth of seven when unpenalised back at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last Monday and a new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in, but he's not ruled out in view of his penultimate form. |

4th 7 (6) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done his winning in Class 6; however, he's ahead of the assessor, having escaped a penalty for last week's comfortable success in apprentice event over C&D (good to soft); strong chance off the same mark. |

12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Comfortably won this race last year (heavy) and arrives in similarly good form this time around, having been runner-up the last twice; key player. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Comfortable C&D winner on heavy ground last October; below best form since returning from a break in July but took big step back in right direction when keeping-on third at Hamilton (8.3f, good) this month and will need to be taken very seriously if conditions become testing. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Winless in 2023 but he hinted at a revival when third of eight in 1m handicap at Hamilton in September; 3lb lower here so warrants respect after a break. |
14/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
in rear, outpaced over 3f out, headway over 2f out, hung right and went third over 1f out, no extra final 110yds, just held third |
14/1 |

19th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins have come over 7f, including two at Southwell (Tapeta) late last year; does stay this far and went close over C&D in February, but needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Scored at Ayr (7f) in September but her form has nosedived; last of 12 over C&D last month and has something to prove. |
20/1 |

12th 6 (9) |
17th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fifth turf win when successful over Ayr's 7f last month; not so good since and her record on the AW (0-9) hardly bodes well. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Modest performer whose strike-rate is just 2-34; can be opposed on the balance of his form and was a remote last of five here yesterday. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest performer whose strike-rate is just 2-34; won at Brighton in May then proved fairly consistent until July; form dipped the last twice and has the worst chance at the weights in this field. |

12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time course winner (1m2f, soft/good to soft), the latest in May off today's mark; returns to Ayr after two heavy defeats at Hamilton but she failed to shine here in July/August; arrives with something to prove. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest claims on the balance of recent efforts and this doesn't look the ideal scenario, having gained all wins over 1m2f at Ayr. |
25/1 |
|
8th 10 (3) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Hasn't been in top form since winning off this mark at Ayr on her reappearance (1m2f, good to firm); cheekpieces were tried last time (no improvement) and are retained; others preferred. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Much improved of late since the hood came off and she got back to winning ways for Jim Goldie in 1m Ayr handicap last month; hiked up 8lb but she's not taken lightly for her new yard. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (10) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from her 15 starts but that came over C&D (good to soft) in July and she went close at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) recently; contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win came at classified level; good second to Shine On Brendan in C&D handicap in August but has posted a couple of lesser efforts here since; others preferred on balance. |

31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won a couple of 0-50 classified events over 1m on Polytrack at the start of the year, but precious little since; hard to recommend. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

8th 8 (8) |
19th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Turf (7f)/dual AW winner (a mile) who seems to stay 1m2f; below best since last win in January and off since June but back with previous trainer and booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. |
