Made all for a clearcut win at Chelmsford (7f) and got hassled up front when well held there last week; has stamina queries over this far. |

0-19 but has at least been placed three times, most recently when third of ten at Yarmouth (7f) five weeks ago; handles the AW; each-way claims.

In-form maiden who made the frame in C&D contests the last twice; could go well again but is no banker to finish first, with record now 0-21. |

Fared best of the rest behind Nemorum here 12 days ago; not weighted to reverse placings with the winner and remains a maiden; however, again has place claims. |

Unplaced all five starts, and he was well beaten on his turf debut at Yarmouth (7f) on latest; at least his mark is falling and he doesn't have many miles on the clock.

Hasn't won since April 2021 but that was over this C&D and he has a solid overall record on the track as well; creditable second here just nine days and has to be high on the list in a weak race.

Has run only on the AW so far and she hasn't progressed, only seventh of ten when wearing cheekpieces/tongue-strap on handicap debut at Lingfield seven weeks ago; plenty to prove.

Only a modest fifth to Nemorum over C&D 12 days ago, taking record to 0-5; however, may still prove capable of better, being a 3yo filly who retains low mileage. |

Decent fifth on Kempton debut but few positives to take from two subsequent efforts, latest off wind surgery and 165-day break; faces tough task in first handicap; upped to 1m; tongue-tie and cheekpieces go on. |

Off the mark (eighth attempt) at Southwell (1m) in April but failed to repeat the form in three subsequent attempts; now 2lb lower than for the win, so would have possibilities if revived by a four-month break.

Battled on well to get off the mark at the eighth attempt at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in April and now 5lb lower, but his four attempts since then don't suggest he is about to take advantage. |

Unlike most of these, she has actually won a race, at Lingfield (1m) early this year; however, she has been treading water off this sort of mark since and needs to up her game.

8st 11lb |
Won a 1m classified event at Lingfield in January but she hasn't really progressed since; didn't run badly in this headgear behind Daisy Roots nine days ago, without suggesting she would be coming out on top. |
33/1 |

8th 12 (2) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise over C&D on her handicap debut in January; no progress since and although she ran creditably on turf here eight weeks ago, the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt today. |
16/1 |
