9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times last year and twice this term, all on soft or good to soft; that includes latest start when always prominent over 10.2f at York (25-1) and three of his wins were over 1m4f; back up 5lb to career-high mark and this race demands a career best. |

8st 11lb |
Good record over C&D, including two wins on good ground last year; weakened when stepped up to 1m4f at York last time but the return to shorter is a plus and he's only 1lb higher than when edging out Monday's Zetland Gold Cup winner Liberty Coach at Redcar last autumn; has to enter calculations. |

8st 8lb |
Strong through the line when second at Redcar (1m, good) and Chester (1m2f, good; behind Paddy The Squire) before never really threatening here in May; has form claims but he's now exposed and one or two others appeal more. |

Three 1m2f wins last year came on good/good to firm but he probably acts on soft; respectable second to Have Secret on C&D reappearance and caught too far back at York since; capable of bouncing back. |

3rd 10 (2) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

Made a promising start to the year when second of ten at Redcar (1m2f, good) in April but out of the frame in two subsequent outings and didn't appear to get home over today's distance on the first of those at Thirsk (good to firm). |

Fair Flat racer; predictably struggled in Aintree Grade 1 on last month's hurdling debut but his clear third at Market Rasen (2m, good) 19 days ago was quite promising, and he has scope to build on that performance here. |

Narrow winner of a Carlisle handicap (1m1f, soft) last August but she's not gone on from that and was last of nine at Beverley (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; now 1lb lower than for her win but she needs to get back near her best. |

Looked promising when winning 1m2f Lingfield novice last summer but an unplaced favourite in all three subsequent handicaps, most recently when fourth of eight on seasonal debut at Lingfield (1m4f) in April; not written off just yet but has a point to prove and needs to learn to settle better. |

Two fast-ground wins at Ayr (1m2f) last May before finishing runner-up in this race (good to soft); plenty of good efforts since including a close third off this mark at Ayr three weeks ago; usually races prominently and he should give it another good shot back at this track. |
