3rd Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who opened hurdling account in Worcester maiden (2m, good; first-time hood) in June; safely held when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut there in August, though, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference. |

11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat at Doncaster (2m, soft) in April and fair efforts in that code on final two runs for Ian Williams; he could make a hurdler but a pretty useful standard is required on this jumps and stable debut. |

17th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Excellent strike-rate over hurdles (9-29) but his last jumps season didn't end well and, following wind surgery, he was tailed off on the Flat two weeks ago (has form on heavy); seemingly plenty to prove. |
25/1 |

6th 11 (5) |
3rd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
His five Flat races were all in France in 2019; ten wins in all over the years, nine over hurdles but he had a troubled end to last jumps season and had wind surgery since; usual blinkers give way to cheekpieces, last seen three years ago; easily won a 2021 selling hurdle on heavy; market may guide. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five-runner race at Bath (2m1f) in June under Olivia Tubb; acts on soft (ran once on heavy) but she was beaten 27l on it when runner-up at Ffos Las in August; both subsequent runs also fail to persuade. |
12/1 |

Enhanced her good record here when beating Cherry Cola from the front in June; below par on latest visit in the race in which Lusaka beat Cherry Cola; possibilities if on a going day. |

9st 12lb |
Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

Disappointing favourite in Bath race won by Asense a fortnight ago and now 0-10 but was pretty consistent over a variety of trips beforehand and will be fine on today's ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has yet to win a race but he's compiling a solid profile in handicaps at up to 2m and his mark hasn't really gone anywhere; will handle the ground and he's on the shortlist. |

31st Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

prominent, pushed along 3f out, ridden and outpaced 2f out, kept on from over 1f out, no match for first two |

4th 7 (10) |
18th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Defied a higher mark for Ian Williams at Salisbury (1m6f, good to soft) in May but he's been out of sorts in his last six runs and needs a major turnaround. |
12/1 |

Verdict
The Goodwood win registered by BAILEYS DERBYDAY over 2m on soft ground 12 days ago is easily the most persuasive piece of recent evidence. Justus (a soft-ground winner in April) is not ruled out just yet but Imperial Cult may provide the most resistance on his return to 2m. Tin Fandango looked in similarly modest form in the run-up to winning this race last year.[Richard Austen]
