Form & Verdict
Ended 2024 with an AW win and he stepped up on his seasonal return when easily seeing off ten rivals at Chepstow ten days ago; has a penalty to overcome but he's 1lb ahead of the handicapper; has run well over C&D and more appealing than many.

Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C&D winner should give it another good go.

Three-time Bath winner who has a win and a second to his name in two runs here (both 1m); adaptable regarding tactics but hasn't run over 7f since his 3yo days in Ireland and he's drawn widest back up to a career-high mark; wouldn't want much rain.

Won two 1m handicaps last May, including here, and back on the scoresheet in a C&D handicap three weeks ago (good to firm); that form is already working out well and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him; probably wouldn't want the ground to be worse than good.

Prominent racer; just missed out at Lingfield (1m) in January and he didn't run badly at Kempton two weeks later; not so good tried in a visor last time and the headgear is absent here; on a winning mark and he can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Produced a strong finish to win over C&D 18 days ago on her handicap debut (a couple of these in behind); similar form when second of four over 1m2f last week, where stamina failings looked a bigger issue than the rider dropping his whip over 1f out; still has untapped potential.

Made a winning turf/handicap debut at Bath (1m) last May and posted a creditable second upped to 1m2f at that track (also firm) nine days later; didn't match that form subsequently but last year was this 5yo's first season racing so chance she might have a shade more to offer this term.

Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes.
