Back Before Dark

8st 10lb

J: William Carson

T: Andy Irvine

A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for.

9st 9lb

J: Mr Jude Fernandes

T: Andy Irvine

Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay.

9st 9lb

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Grant Tuer

Inconsistent and gained only win in 2023; however, this combination of first-time headgear and switch to classified level may do the trick.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Grant Tuer

1l second of six at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September when last seen and has a 5lb lower mark to work with on AW; has had just two chances on AW but has failed to beat a rival on either occasion, both times on Tapeta last autumn, so she has something to prove.
