Form & Verdict

Ended 2023 with a close call at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) but he returned from 13 months off with a heavy defeat at Newbury two weeks ago; was weak in the market that day but he needs to leave that form a long way behind on this return to AW.

Form & Verdict

Won on AW and turf in the first half of this year; good second over 1m6f here in September but he's not easy to predict and has been beaten 10l or more in his last two runs; now only 1lb higher than for last success but he comes with risks attached; cheekpieces reapplied.

Form & Verdict

Won off this mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February but he's been generally disappointing since and was only seventh of 11 back at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; that last run was after a break and now drops back in grade but others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict

Prominent racer; in good form on the Flat this summer, winning 1m4f handicaps at Pontefract and Epsom; not so good at Epsom in August though and he's run over hurdles since, getting no further than the first obstacle three weeks ago; has some questions to answer and he looks on a tough enough mark back in this sphere.

Progressive 3yo, who won on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m2f) and Kempton (1m3f) in September before going close over 1m4f at Southwell (Tapeta) last month; up another 2lb but he was strong at the finish last time and is open to more progress at this new trip; big player.

Form & Verdict

His last win was in June 2023 but that was off 6lb higher and he's run plenty of good races this year including a staying-on third at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in September; was making some headway when his saddle slipped at Newbury (unseated) last time and he has shaped as though this step back up in trip could suit; dangerous with blinkers added.

Form & Verdict

Well held in three novice events at Kempton (1m3f/1m4f) since June but it's still early days for this well-bred 3yo and it wouldn't be a surprise if she looked a different proposition on this handicap debut; needs a close look for in-form yard.
