9st 7lb |
Has a good record here (1312154), but all five career wins have come over 7f and although he has run well over this far elsewhere, the trip does just appear to stretch him; may be vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

One of several runners who have never won on turf; regressive results since most recent AW success (in February) and was unplaced over C&D when last seen in this sphere; not the percentage call. |

Record of 221 since returned to turf, most recently holding on narrowly over C&D (good to firm) last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Taryn Langley takes off 7lb; this in-form contender is one for the shortlist. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has a patchy profile but he bounced back with a dominant display at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise looks fair enough but this is a big step back up in grade and he could have competition for the lead this time; others are more persuasive. |

30th Aug 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
7f AW novice winner in January; only effort of real note in six handicaps was his 2l fourth at Southwell two runs back (7f) and unraced on turf softer than good so has a bit to prove. |

Finished last on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Ayr but shaped as though he may have needed the run and he's on a handy mark on last year's best form; interesting if getting his preferred slow ground. |

Won twice at Southwell (7f, AW) earlier in year, but has won on turf and finished a creditable third of six at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last time; has been beaten three times off this mark though (6lb higher than when last successful) so more is needed. |

9st 9lb |
Completed a four-timer in the first half of last year (including a win over C&D), but 0-13 since; recent efforts don't suggest he is about to capitalise on a falling mark; blinkers made no difference last time and a tongue-tie is given a go now. |

17th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Winner at Thirsk in April (7f, good to firm); best run since when runner-up at Catterick last week (7f, good; Kalganov third); a possible. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Suited by the strong gallop when scoring at Thirsk (7f, good to firm; 11-1) in April, but has struggled to make much of an impact since at Wolverhampton or Leicester; needs to bounce back to form to figure from 2lb above that winning mark. |
7/1 |

8th 3 (3) |
27th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Resumed winning ways at Thirsk (7f) in April and not disgraced given he raced wide when sixth of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago; can go well. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Drops into a Class 6 for the first time on the AW, but has been running poorly lately and his record of 1-30 is another negative; needs the blinkers and returning tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

9th 8 (7) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win in 29 starts came over two years ago and hasn't been at best on last three starts, remains to be seen whether drop back to 5f will be in his favour. |

Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out. |

12th 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |
|
13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |
