Often goes well at Chester (three successes) but he ran poorly there eight days ago and doesn't look an obvious winner here off just 1lb lower; can spoil his chance by starting slowly.

21st Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has finished down the field on all five starts this season, including twice at Chester where he has a strong overall record; however, the fact he's a dual winner of this race (last year off 7lb higher) makes him a dangerous one to discount. |

Four-time course winner who was third in this race in 2021 and 2023, and he's 4lb below last September's last winning mark; however, this 8yo who has finished down the field on all four runs this season; something to prove. |

Low-mileage 4yo with a strike-rate of four from six; scored twice over 7f here in the spring and he ran creditably when a keeping-on third of 11 at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that run, his first for nearly four months, should have blown away the cobwebs, and he can continue on the upgrade, with the extra yardage likely to suit; big chance.

Had a nondescript season but he's 10lb lower than his latest win, on Newcastle AW last November, and he looked on the way back when doing best work late to lead home the unfavoured group on the stand side in the Bronze Cup (good; acts on soft) 11 days ago; no surprise to see him go well. |

Has form on most ground but two most recent wins on soft (7f) and good to soft (1m); below best on final start for Les Eyre, over 1m here in October, but is just below his latest winning mark last June and interesting to see what he comes up with on debut for new yard. |

Front-runner; has won three of his last four races, gamely holding on by a nose at Ripon (1m, good) on latest; that form was boosted by the runner-up's subsequent win at Sandown, but a 6lb higher mark still demands more and David Allan jumps ship to ride Cruyff Turn.

Hold-up performer who recorded his 13th win when landing an amateur jockeys' handicap at York (10.3f, good to soft) last month; disappointing at Doncaster last time but he lost a shoe in that race and is a big player if he can recapture his penultimate form; handles most ground but all of his turf wins have been on good or slower. |

15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Not the force of old but came way down the weights and has had a solid campaign this summer; that includes a 1m win at Haydock and rare forays over about 1m2f on last two starts saw him go close at Redcar and win at York; just 2lb higher than at York last Sunday and has to be on the shortlist. |

Placed twice from eight starts at York but has not been sent here since 2022; not the force of old but way down the weights and pretty consistent this summer, including a 1m win at Haydock; saw it out well when close second at Redcar last time on a rare foray over this far, so has each-way claims. |

Won at Chelmsford (7f, AW) on his debut in November 2020 but he's 0-11 since and has finished tailed off in six of his last seven starts; has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran well on his penultimate run but he was beaten 38l at Newcastle last time; opposable. |

Chelmsford winner for William Haggas as a 2yo who showed little after returning from a mammoth absence last July, but much better when beaten just over a length into fourth of 12 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) four weeks ago; major player if building on that from the same mark. |
