Won on the Flat three starts back and then nearly followed up over C&D last month; below par again here two weeks ago but he's now downgraded; likely contender. |

In-form 4yo who scored readily on the Flat last month, then ran well over C&D (good) on the return to hurdles, confirming that he's suited by Plumpton (won here in April); shortlisted. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |
5/1 |

Well backed prior to running out the easy winner of a C&D handicap for amateur riders 18 days ago; enjoyed the run of things there but the handicapper could have taken a dimmer view of the win; fair chance up just 3lb. |

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. |

Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

15th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Second under David Dunsdon three times in a row with cheekpieces this summer and same again when he tried a visor on latest start; those four runs were over 1m, 1m2f, 1m4f (finishing well) and a soft-ground 7f; not proven over this far when the ground is testing but has to be considered seriously. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has finished runner-up under David Dunsdon in cheekpieces on his last three starts (1m-1m4f, good/good to firm); this is his first attempt at 7f but there can be optimism this versatile sort will cope, and he's effective on soft ground; a visor replaces cheekpieces; could be a contender. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Probably acts on any going; added to his good efforts when partnered by his owner David Dunsdon when second at Sandown (1m) and Newbury (1m2f; beaten a head) on last two outings, with cheekpieces enlisted; third to two Irish challengers in this race last year and he's in the mix again. |

Has dropped a long way in the weights, beaten a head at Sandown (1m6f) in July but not faring so well since; last two runs might be forgiven, as they extended a modest AW record, and they have helped with a further 6lb fall in his mark; had useful French form on soft; case can be made. |

No win since September 2022 but second under Alice Tregoning at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) and Haydock (11.5f, good to soft) on two of her last four outings; not discredited on AW latest; serious each-way claims if she also proves effective on this first race on heavy. |

Ridden by Alice Tregoning on last three starts; returned to form when second in first-time visor (retained since) at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) last month and faded when fourth at Lingfield (2m, AW) most recently; the drop back in trip could be a plus and she's on the shortlist. |

Last win came at Thirsk (1m4f, soft; acts on heavy) in June 2023 off 4lb higher mark; usually apprentice ridden and has been largely consistent this year, so has reasonable each-way claims. |
