9st 10lb |
Beat Twoforthegutter when ending a long losing run here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he followed up with a comfortable success at Thirsk; this step back up to 1m6f muddies the waters but he's not had many chances at staying trips and remains well treated on old form; big player if he can continue the good work. |

Twice pipped when favourite over C&D last August, including in this race; recorded back-to-back 1m2f wins at Newcastle (AW) this March; beaten 5l when sixth of 11 on his return to turf at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in June and looks vulnerable giving weight all round.

10st 1lb |
Won two in a row at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and solid third there (1m2f, AW) last month; needs to transfer his AW improvement back to grass but he was steadily progressive on turf last season (won on fast ground) and he's one to consider. |

Sole success came in 2022 when trained in Ireland; he has struggled since switching to current yard this year and has beaten only two horses in four starts; had wind surgery before last run when eighth of nine at Newcastle last month; hard to fancy.

Got off the mark, after a string of good efforts, when scoring at Redcar (1m1f, good) last month; shaped well off this 3lb higher mark when second at Ripon (1m2f, good) five days ago and has been running as if crying out for this step up in trip; big chance.

9st 7lb |
In good form in handicaps this summer, a 1m1f win at Redcar sandwiched by several solid efforts; something to prove on AW but looks to have more to recommend him than most. |

Last three wins have been at Beverley, including a selling handicap (1m4f, good to firm) last month; back up 7lb, has never won back to back and it remains to be seen if he can run to that level elsewhere.

Last three wins here, including easily in a 1m4f selling handicap on good to firm last month; not in quite the same form when fifth of seven at Thirsk (1m4f, good) 15 days ago but respected back here. |

Well handicapped and back on quicker ground he wasn't far away over 1m2f here last week when just behind Jamih; a long time since he ran over this far but has each-way claims. |

Her only win in 17 races came at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in February off 3lb higher mark; has not run too badly on turf on her last three starts and, with her handicap mark dropping, she is not out of this.

9st 4lb |
The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here. |

Returns from ten-month absence and is still 2lb higher than when winning at Ripon last September, which was the last of her four 1m4f wins as 3yo (three at Ripon); best watched.

4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Enjoyed a fine time of it on turf last year with four wins over 1m4f, the latest off this mark; hasn't shone in two starts since returning from a lengthy absence last month and has given the impression she may need a stiffer test than this on the AW. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
26th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |

Looked rusty after 11 months off when last of seven in 1m4f Thirsk handicap ten days ago; she scored three times over 1m4f here last season though so is no forlorn hope with that run under her belt. |
