In the thick of the action on his last two starts for Jack Channon, losing out by only a head to the subsequent winner Wadacre Grace at Kempton (1m; after fluffing the start) three weeks ago; has since joined the bang-in-form Linda Perratt; chance.

Won three times here last year (7f-1m) and usually goes well for Jonny Peate; is still a couple of pounds above his last winning AW mark, and has a little work to do with Sandret based on their recent C&D clash.

Rattled off a hat-trick here in 2022 and well handicapped again; not sure what happened last time but was a close third here the run before when perhaps unlucky; always held up so a hostage to some good fortune (only 4-35 overall). |

4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come here (7f/1m) and he may have been unfortunate not to finish closer when third of nine over C&D a week ago (form since boosted); remains off his last winning mark, but this established hold-up performer may not get the race run to suit. |

Rated 3lb lower than when springing a 25-1 surprise over C&D (Class 6) in March; went down fighting on return to this trip (third) here last time, so it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that he can have some form of basic role to play.

27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Veteran who won four on the spin here early in the year, going 17lb up the weights; is entitled to have come on for last month's turf comeback from three months off but he'll have to be spot on off this mark. |

At the veteran stage but he's been thriving at Newcastle (7f/1m) since February and completed a four-timer with a brave success in March; 3lb higher back on turf on his return but he's won here in the past and remains well treated on old form; shortlisted. |

Seven course wins (six of those over 1m); has been competing mostly over 1m2f since scoring emphatically here in April; still 3lb above that winning mark, but it is possible that the switch back to the straight track may unlock the door.

9st 1lb |
Six-time course winner who was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run and he had an excuse when returned to 1m4f here last time; now drops back in trip and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck. |

8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won in April and has mostly run respectably since; familiar face here, including with seven wins and nine seconds, but in a 68-race career he's only once (well beaten at 1m4f in 2019) been beyond 1m2f. |

Sole win in 21 starts came at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in January, but she ran well when second of eight on her second start for this yard over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; races off the same mark, but needs a bit more and is unraced on ground softer than good. |

Rallied to get the better of a previous winner in a steadily run C&D novice (12-1) four weeks ago; there's no guarantee that this race will be run at a similar tempo but he's lightly raced and open to improvement switching to handicap company for the first time.

Beaten favourite at Thirsk this month and that abject performance may well have been down to heavy ground; has had excuses with one thing and another in previous runs here this year and is evidently felt capable off this sort of mark (down another 2lb). |
7/1 |

10th 3 (11) |
9th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Promising turf debut as 3yo; kept to Newcastle AW since, breaking duck in 1m novice last autumn but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark in handicaps since and well held over 1m last time; not sure to want soft ground either, having missed an intended run on soft at the start of career. |

Dual Pontefract winner (1m); ran well when runner-up to a progressive rival at Carlisle (7f, soft) in June but has failed to build on that in four subsequent starts; yet to demonstrate AW prowess (0-3), and stable probably has a better chance with Sandret.

Regular turf winner (12-48) who is light on AW experience (0-2); has been raised a couple of pounds since finishing runner-up at Ayr (1m, heavy) last month; this stablemate of Perfect Swiss can't be dismissed in the hands of the capable 7lb claimer Alex Fielding.

Versatile; has three C&D wins to his name, the latest of which came when edging out Sandret in November 2020; is yet to win in 2023, and has seemingly gone off the boil since being touched off at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) in July; easing mark.

Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

Once rated in the high 90s during his time with Martyn Meade; has fallen in excess of 20lb since reappearing from a lengthy absence; some encouragement is drawn from his most recent effort (fifth), even though that still leaves him needing more to reverse placings with Sandret.

On a hat-trick after 1m2f wins at Leicester (good to firm) and Ripon (good) this month, holding on gamely from the reopposing Mr Jetman at latter track; a further 3lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing in her current mood. |
