All five wins in fields of six or fewer but ran a mighty race to be third in the Dash this Summer; seemingly amiss in first-time tongue-tie (removed here) when last seen and has a bit to prove on AW debut having been gelded; Luke Morris is 1-1 on him.

Has plenty of speed and he ran well in good 5f handicaps on his first two starts of the season, notably when beaten just a neck into third in the Dash on Derby day; not quite in the same form in a Listed event at Haydock four weeks ago; tongue-tie now added and Billy Loughnane's claim useful; best efforts on good or quicker so drying ground would be beneficial. |

AW hat-trick last winter and, off a reduced mark, he won a Racing League contest in August; remains nicely treated and shaped well (stuck on far side of pack/sat closer to pace than ideal) off a 62-day break at Newcastle recently; key player.

Can look trickly but he's a smart sprinter on his day and he has a more consistent profile on AW than turf; 5lb rise for his C&D win in August, where he broke the course record without being fully extended, looks fair and he's a major player. |

Last win came over Mondammej off 3lb higher at York in May but has been rather hit and miss since; ought to get a good pitch from stall 1 and has claims if on a going day for all he hasn't run on AW since 2021.

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in two runs on heavy but he's fully effective on soft and looked better than ever when winning a good handicap at York in May off 2lb higher; closely matched with Korker on recent Ascot run (wore cheekpieces for the first time, retained). |
5/1 |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Brother to high-class sprinter Oxted and his own career has largely been one of steady progress through the handicap ranks; saw off 13 rivals to win at York in May (5f, good to firm) but he hasn't reproduced that level in his four runs since (best of those efforts was over C&D at least); cheekpieces will need to give him a lift if he's to come out on top. |

Six victories for previous yard; stepped up a bit for Michael Wigham, recording a win and making two bold bids in good handicaps on turf; won on Tapeta at three and could play a part if not finding this too sharp.

28th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His results have been up and down since joining this yard in July and he was below par at Ascot last time, but he was a close third in the Portland here (5.5f, soft) last month and that form has worked out really well; now 1lb lower and this prominent-racer is capable of having a big say. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Made a perfect start for this yard when making all over C&D in July (good; Ayr Gold Cup winner back in second); ran into a rapid improver here at the Shergar Cup meeting and ran as well as he ever has when a close third in the Portland; last month; unplaced at York last time but he was hampered at a crucial stage and couldn't recover; big player. |

Longchamp disappointment on good to soft doesn't detract from fine juvenile campaign and third run of 2023 was very close to his best; didn't fire back on slow ground last time and is passed over on AW debut.

One of three Tapeta wins in January came over 5f here (the others at 6f and 7f); tough filly who has retained her form really well in a long season but hard to see her up to this task at the weights. |
