9st 7lb

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out.

9st 9lb

J: James Glennon

T: Simon Dow

Three turf wins at 5f and 6f, the latest off this mark in September; big prices and well held in four sprints here for new yard and, although this is a drop in grade, he may be best left until back on grass.

9st 4lb

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Three turf wins but 0-9 on AW and he's been well held here (5f/6f) in all three runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but this is competitive and others are more convincing; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers.

9st 9lb

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Three turf wins but 0-8 on AW and he didn't run much of a race over C&D recently when all aids were left off (blinkers return, again without regular tongue-tie) on second run for yard; drawn wide and likely other days.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Had a few ideas of his own when trained by Hugo Palmer but he did manage to win a 6f handicap at Chester in September; should come on for last month's stable debut here (5f) but others look more persuasive all the same.
