Won five on the spin last season, four of them here (all 6f); running creditably in defeat this year but she needs the step back up in trip to have a positive effect if she's to win. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |
16/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Easy win over C&D in December off 3lb lower; should be sharper with his recent return to action behind him but others preferred at this level. |

In good order last winter, winning easily at Chelmsford last December and finishing second over C&D (off 2lb higher) in January; drawn wide on his return from 226 days off and likely there will be other days. |

Back on a good mark and it was his third run after a long absence when a closing third over this far (best trip) here a month ago; dropped into a Class 6 now and his turn could be near. |

9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
7/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Progressive 6yo won at Leopardstown in June and has stepped forward again in thee runs in defeat since, latest when beaten a head in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway; 5lb higher but remains very much one to keep on side. |

9st 9lb |
Boasts a decent record around this time of year; below par on turf last time but he's bounced back from blips before and he's in off the same mark as when going close over C&D in March; one to consider. |
12/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Close third, despite traffic issues, in AW contest when last seen two months ago; defied a 2lb higher mark over C&D (good to firm) last May and warrants respect back here. |

All-the-way winner in a first-time eyeshield over C&D last month but diminishing returns over this trip in the same headgear (now discarded) since; has something to prove again and he's drawn out widest of all. |

Most recent win in July 2022; had a disconcerting year in 2024 but back in better form now and a close third over C&D last month came in a stronger classified than this; widest draw but good form claims. |

Dual winner here (6f/7f) in 2020; has gone close a couple of times lately, as when beaten a short head at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in July, but losing run up to 24; others look more solid. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No win away from Chelmsford since September 2021; agonisingly close at Newcastle (5f, AW) on penultimate start and bang there in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on latest, which needs respect, but this test might be a little too sharp. |
7/1 |

3 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also. |

Four-time winner; winless this year but he's been running well for the most part and didn't get the best of runs when fifth of ten at Nottingham (5f) last time; shortlisted. |

5th 10 (2) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Triple Tapeta winner who is still lightly raced on turf and was successful in this sphere (5f, soft) last spring; mixed record in his four runs this year but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and has claims if he can back that up. |
