9st 2lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: John Berry

His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims.

8st 10lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: John Berry

Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return.

J: Marco Ghiani

T: John Berry

Eight races; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six to Blazeon Fine at Ascot (2m, good to soft) and another good effort at Newmarket (good) one week later considering it was a hot race over 1m4f; not proven on soft but back up in trip and may still have improvement in him.

8st 5lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: John Berry

Has had seven races, five for this yard; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six at Ascot (2m, good to soft) last Friday was better still in form terms but this step back down to 1m4f could be problematic.

8st 8lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: John Berry

Has had only six races; showed promise on handicap debut (1m4f, good to soft) in July on second run for the yard; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l when he followed up without any problems at 1-3 under his penalty at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; raised another 7lb and the return to turf asks a question, but he's a promising staying 3yo.
