Form & Verdict
Improved this autumn, including for wins at Fontwell (2m5f, good) and over C&D (soft); wore first-time cheekpieces in the latter 16 days ago, made most and won in gritty, clearcut fashion, drawing clear again late on; up another 5lb but has more to offer with stamina tests.

Improved form in the autumn and made it 3-4 in handicaps when winning at Lingfield last time (2m7f, good to soft; has also won on soft); this unexposed mare is clearly thriving and holds strong claims once more.

Form & Verdict
In command when falling two out at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in April; in good form both starts since his summer break, last week making most at Chepstow (3m, soft) and getting off the mark at tenth attempt, under his regular ride Ben Godfrey; 7lb penalty seems to demand more but he needs respect.

Several good efforts in defeat since 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) in June 2024, although his form did dip over C&D last time out; versatile regarding the ground and can be competitive on the earlier runs.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Generally consistent 9yo who has found one too good on his last four starts, including when turned over at short odds latest; still 7lb above last summer's win and, while he should be thereabouts again, he'll likely prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals for the win.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Largely consistent 9yo who lost out only by a head in first-time visor at Fontwell (3m2f, good) 19 days ago and again ran well when second over C&D (good) on Tuesday; Chad Bament looks excellent value for his 8lb claim against other conditional riders today; major player.

Form & Verdict
Placed in big field at Hereford (2m3f, soft) on handicap debut and lost out by a short head at Fontwell (2m6f, good to soft) later in January; not seen again until Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) three weeks ago when favourite but pulled up; this longer trip will probably help if he's back on song.

Course regular who kept on well to win by over 5l over C&D (good) in March and won't mind if the ground is much slower today; absent since well-held third behind Ballintara at Plumpton in April, though, and needs to be in peak form to overcome current mark; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Ran in handicaps on last four starts, with cheekpieces on last three and they include 2m4f wins at Uttoxeter (good) in May and Worcester (good to soft) in October; form dipped again over 2m5f on soft three weeks ago; soft ground would be a concern; today's new trip looks interesting.

Form & Verdict
Became quite expensive to follow last season until scoring at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in April; six months off before showing little at Plumpton this month when upped to 2m4f, jumping moderately without his usual blinkers; this trip asks another major new question and he has cheekpieces first time.

Signed off for Gary and Josh Moore with clear second to very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and has good claims if judged on that performance but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon, and was tailed off on the Flat for new stable this month; headgear switched.

Last month's C&D fifth (16l ahead of Ray's The One, but beaten 16l himself) represented only a partial return to form; unconvincing on balance, for all a mark 4lb below his last winning one makes appeal.

Second in a point bumper (good to firm) in February but he has not accomplished much in his five runs under rules; wore cheekpieces last two (2m) and it's blinkers for today's handicap debut over a different trip.

Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces
