Good overall record here but behind King's Code and Felix when fifth over C&D on Boxing Day and only sixth at Kempton of seven at Kempton (1m3f) since; others are more obvious. |

Similar type to Haku, having registered last five wins at Wolverhampton; behind Andaleep there last time; on a workable mark but his Kempton record suggests a supporting role is most likely. |

Had a very solid campaign over 1m in handicaps and Listed races last term, including here on soft (unraced on heavy); did not reappear until three weeks ago, however, when below form at Newmarket trying 1m2f. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All turf wins on softer than good, latest the 1m2f Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar in May; just 1lb higher today, having not been so good since but close third at Haydock (1m, heavy) eight days ago shows he is in the mix. |
9/1 |

18th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 37y Class 3 |

Acts on soft ground; successful in notable handicaps over 1m at Doncaster in 2022 and 1m2f at Redcar this May, latter off this mark; likely player if back in similar form. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

Won twice on soft ground in the spring (1m/1m2f); hasn't run badly on good/good to soft on his last three outings and he could build on those efforts now back on a deeper surface; possible player. |

Has never finished far away, but expensive to follow with sole win (11 races) coming at 1-2 in a maiden; close second of 11 at Salisbury (1m2f, heavy) last time reinforces his position in each-way calculations. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Well backed and worked hard when arriving late on the scene to overcome a slow start in novice at Goodwood (1m2f, good) early last month; runner-up turned the tables in a big way in Epsom novice (1m2f, heavy) four weeks ago but this one ran respectably and should still have potential after just three races; interesting on handicap debut. |

3rd 1 (5) |
29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Sandown debut (1m2f, good to soft) in June was promising and he worked hard when arriving late on the scene to overcome a slow start in novice at Goodwood (1m2f, good) early this month; well backed in the latter and although today's ground is new, the greater a test of stamina will suit; Goodwood second Forest Gate has 7lb swing but this is a useful prospect. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well here on April reappearance and some respectable efforts in a mixed record since; below form on soft ground this term (four races, including his last two) but won three times on it in previous campaigns; below form both runs on heavy; 3lb below last August's winning mark. |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Some respectable efforts this term but has been unable to take advantage of a falling mark and form dipped sharply last time in a Goodwood race he'd won 12 months earlier; opposed. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Fared a lot better since dropped to 1m for last three outings, which were also his only runs on soft/heavy, including his win at Nottingham this month and a fractional defeat at Windsor five days later; up another 4lb; 1m2f is the much greater concern but big player if he can see it out. |
4/1 |
2nd 1 (11) |
14th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has fared better since switched to 1m and appears well treated under a penalty for his emphatic success at Nottingham (heavy) last Wednesday when opening his account at the sixth attempt; open to further progress at this trip and commands respect. |
11/4 |
1st 11 (10) |
9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Five-race maiden who ran well in soft-ground handicap at Newmarket (first attempt over 1m) most recently; that form ties him in closely with Pressure's On; may improve further at this trip; shortlisted. |

9st 1lb |
Progressive in his first four races, close third of nine on handicap debut at Sandown (upped to 1m2f, soft) on the last of those; withdrawn due to the ground (soft again) here last month and ran moderately on heavy at Salisbury on latest, which puts him down the list. |

0-8 last year after winning his sole start here (7f) as a 2yo, but having dropped in the weights he ran well when third of ten at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in December; down another 1lb and could play a part if taking another step forward. |

Regular winner in 2023 and 2024, but never on ground softer than good and she's unraced on soft or heavy, which poses a big question today. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

She has won six of her last 18 starts, recording a personal best when seeing off 14 rivals at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; 5lb higher mark to deal with but she's been placed in three previous visits to Chelmsford. |
