9st 13lb |
Two wins over 7f at Chepstow in July (good to firm/good to soft), but went up 10lb for second success (has since been dropped 3lb) and hasn't fared as well since; tried over 1m last time; first run at 6f. |

All three wins at 7f on this track (good to soft and good to firm) but went up 10lb for her July success and it proved too much here 18 days ago; questions as to whether the return to 1m will be the answer. |

Progressive 5yo who recorded her fourth win for David Evans when completing a double over C&D 12 days ago; that was in a tight five-way finish but she found plenty when it came to the crunch and is only 2lb higher here; big player again in hat-trick bid. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Triple C&D winner for Robyn Brisland in 2021 and came good for current stable at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in June, having reportedly benefited from the reapplication of a hood; reverted to her free-going tendencies when midfield on consecutive outings without a hood last month, though, and the headgear is again missing here. |

Gained two of his six wins over this C&D, the latter in June; versatile ground-wise and seemingly on a workable mark but didn't fire here last week (raced too freely) and is unreliable. |

Both wins have come over C&D and latest was 17 days ago when she narrowly beat Forever Proud; did well to overcome a slow start and wide trip that day and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; could be a major force again, particularly if she gets a good pace. |

Losing run goes back to early 2023 but in good form over C&D and might find 7f suits her better than the extended 1m she ran over last week; similar weights chance to Split Elevens on C&D form in November; not far away. |

Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |
