Hold-up horse who had been hard to win with, but he scored at Hamilton (6f, good) last month and followed up in good style at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last week; this should be run to suit and his confidence will be sky high; key player under 8lb penalty (2lb ahead of the handicapper).

Three-time course winner, the latest in last season's Portland (5.5f, soft; awarded the race); won two in a row (5.5f/5f, good to soft/good to firm) last month and, although he's been unplaced on his three runs since, he didn't enjoy a clear run at Ascot last time and is not written off. |

Back to form last month, winning at Chester (5.5f, good to soft) and following up in good style over C&D four weeks ago (beat Mountain Peak); ran better than his finishing position suggests in the Portland and then had little chance from his draw in the Ayr Silver Cup two weeks ago; can't rule out under these conditions. |

All of his wins have come at 5f (one here) and the cheekpieces are left off, but he's twice run well over 6f at Haydock this month, most recently when fifth of 17 last Sunday (good to firm), and is an each-way contender.

Losing run goes back 30 races to February 2018 so is hard to win with; however, he's run loads of good races in the meantime and his form figures this year in handicaps with 16 or more runners read 243; therefore today's scenario should suit and there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Strongly run 6f races on soft ground suit him well and although he ran creditably when third of nine in the 2021 running of this race, his stamina wasn't up to the job here 12 months ago; kept to 6f since and makes limited appeal returned to 7f after a modest show last time out. |

A well-run race over 6f on slow ground plays to his strengths, most recently keeping on from well back to take fourth in last week's Ayr Silver Cup; not certain this will be run at an end-to-end gallop though and minor money perhaps his best hope. |

4 yo Gelding
OR: 85
Lightly raced 4yo who hasn't fulfilled the promise he showed on turf last year, and he can start slowly; however, he's dropped to an attractive mark and has run solid races in defeat at Newcastle (6f, AW) on two of his last three outings; not ruled out; visored last time, cheekpieces return today.

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
On a three-year losing spell and his record for current yard is far from convincing; best watched unless the market suggests a bigger run is expected. |

20th May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Had form in much better 6f races than this for previous yard but out of sorts for new connections in 2022; has slipped right down the weights, however, and interesting to see if there are any signs of a revival. |

1st Nov 2022 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two of his first four starts (5f/6f, including on soft) when with Roger Varian, the latter earning him an RPR of 99; way below that level in five starts for this trainer and plenty to prove over this far. |

Remains 8lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (5f, good) in June but has continued in good form and was a close second of 16 off today's mark in the Great St Wilfrid Consolation (6f, good) last month; fair third at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) since and he's one to consider.

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Easy winner of a small-field event at Pontefract in May; several good runs since and this drop back in grade is in his favour; one to be interested in for a stable that won this race in 2018 and 2021. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Most of his best form, including all four wins, has come on good or faster ground, but he is back off the same mark as when beaten a neck over C&D (good to soft) in July; finished just behind Arecibo and Jm Jungle when sixth of 12 at Haydock (5f, good) a fortnight ago and not without a chance. |

Ran a stormer from a high draw at York in July (5f, good to soft) and similar form at Redcar last month (6f, good); behind a couple of these at the Ebor meeting though and he's 2lb out of the weights. |

Runs off the same mark as when second of 18 for Roger Fell at York (6f, good to firm) in June, and when a close runner-up at Carlisle (6f, good) on last month's stable debut behind a progressive fellow 3yo who has since followed up; strong claims if in similarly good form today.

7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He may have needed the run here in August after 150 days off and he has lots of good course form, winning here for the fifth time when scoring over C&D in March; capable of having a big say but comes with a major warning having refused to race at Southwell last time. |

Veteran who is 2-2 since joining this yard and being fitted with a visor, winning at Thirsk (5f, good) then Newmarket (5f, good to firm); clearly thriving and the 5lb penalty and hotter race won't necessarily be his downfall, but the concern is the return to 6f (last six wins at 5f).

Two good runs in defeat last summer for Rebecca Menzies and very well treated on that form; however, he struggled towards the end of the campaign and this 13yo needs to turn things around on his stable/seasonal debut. |

OR: 82
Third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month when bidding for a four-timer and needs something extra to return to winning ways today; however, it was still a good run last time and further improvement is possible from this lightly raced 3yo, who was highly progressive previously.

Completed a Tapeta hat-trick late last year including two wins over C&D; now 8lb below his last winning mark, but his efforts since making an encouraging reappearance in April have been underwhelming; needs the return here to bring about a resurgence. |

15th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Did well when initially dropped to 5f but this summer has been rather underwhelming; handicapped accordingly and this represents a drop in class but he did drop away in the final furlong having led up the rail here 13 days ago; others appeal more. |

Hasn't built on a promising reappearance run and he beat only one home at Haydock four weeks ago; becoming seriously well treated but needs to be revitalised by a second go in cheekpieces. |

Losing run up to 22, but runner-up on consecutive days last week, firstly in a similar contest to this at Chelmsford (6f, Tapeta) and then a 0-55 handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good); should go well again, but others preferred for the win. |

8th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Losing run now up to 20, but he won over C&D winner as a 3yo and this will be his first go at this level; good draw and no surprise if he figures. |
