His one win from 24 starts came over C&D off 2lb lower; ended 2023 with three tame efforts though and he now returns from 287 days off. |

Had been running with credit prior to making just about all to make it 21st-time lucky over C&D in October; hasn't been able to dominate in the same way twice since and an uncontested lead seems unlikely here too; others preferred. |

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.

Longstanding maiden and she was well below par in a pair of handicaps at Yarmouth (1m) and Brighton (7f) in early summer; back from a break with lots to prove here. |

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.

0-6 and yet to be placed; however, showed some promise at Chelmsford the last twice and gives the impression there may be a bigger effort in her; not without hope. |

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

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.

30th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Below form the last twice including when well behind Brave Display at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently, but is 2-3 over C&D and drops in grade; could make an impact if first-time blinkers have a positive effect. |
6/1 |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Twice a winner over 1m at Southwell (Tapeta), including on his penultimate start when 3lb lower; can blow the start and was never involved when returning to that C&D latest; hard to have confidence. |

Seven-race maiden; has gone the wrong way since an encouraging debut and her only previous AW run resulted in a heavy defeat; falling in the weights but needs a revival.

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.

14th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
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 |

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 |
